Pennsylvania's beer grant program faces issues with payouts, leading to a shift in administration.

Recipients complained about the Liquor Control Board's strict benchmarks and reimbursement difficulties, particularly affecting smaller businesses.

The board paid out only $4.1 million of the $5 million awarded.
