Seven Lehigh Valley establishments were cited in July by the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement for alleged liquor law violations.

Licensees will have a chance to defend themselves against the citations before an administrative law judge, who may impose fines between $50 to $1,000 for minor violations, or up to $5,000 for more serious offenses. The judge may also suspend or revoke business licenses or mandate training.
