(Oregonlive) - Enter Barry Karimi's liquor store in Lake Oswego and you're treated to a sparkling assortment of some 1,500 choices, anything from your basic fifth of Jack Daniels to locally made pear brandy with a full-sized pear grown inside the bottle.
But if you want a Bud chaser with that Jack, or perhaps a mid-range merlot before the brandy, sorry. Try the Albertson's a few blocks south. Oregon's Prohibition-era rules prohibit most state liquor stores from selling beer and wine alongside the harder stuff.
