Man my little suburb town just exploded in growth the last year in the restaurant/drinking establishment realm. We had like 12 restaurants/bars open in the last 6 months or something. And now all of this... I doubt they will all be back open after the 30 day ban is lifted. Lots of advertising on local fb group pages to do pickup or delivery so they can survive.. but the alcohol only places are SOL.

Beer to Go will hopefully keep some of these places alive.

Turning Point in Bedford is only doing to go cans and automatically charging you a 15% up charge for their staff to get paid. Plus the rent at Turning Point has to be dirt cheap.

Compare that to Four Corners in Dallas with their really large and nice property. They make **** beer. I bet they're gone unless their store sales are just through the roof.

Buddy of mine owns a tap room Highlands Ranch and they must not be able to do beer to go right now. They're doing some lobbying to get that added so they can try and make it through this.

They had already announced in January that they were closing down the San Diego location. This may have hastened the closing, but it was already in the works. Rent probably got too high in that neighborhood.

Yeh can't sell to go unless you produce it.


I just picked up a keg of belgian golden strong from Bruz beers! Might pick up something else from liquor store on my way home.

Hope that everyone had as good of a St. Patrick's Day as they could given the current situations! Cheers, y'all.

Correct. Well I think maybe they can sell packaged (like a bomber), but not growler/crowler fills.

Wine can be, however. As long as restaurant opens and recorks it, they can sell it to you to go.

maybe a loophole one this.
A distributor (crooked stave) is selling unopened kegs, presumably from their stock but maybe from some of their accounts, to the public. The caveat is, you prepay and pick a liquor store to pick it up from. While this is kegs and not individual pours or growlers, it is allowing public to buy beer to go from a non producer.

Interesting loophole. This is the one area where Texas got it right. And I'm kind of surprised by that.

Thanks! Was a little weird with everything being closed, but got some hiking in with the wife and daughter, so nothing else I could ask for!

Being a bike nerd, what'd you get the boy?

We started our son on a strider bike and are probably going to transition him to pedals for his 4th b-day in a few weeks.

Just a cheap Schwinn from target with training wheels. We thought about getting one of those strider things but we never pulled the trigger, guess we'll teach him the old school way

It's the apocalypse so might as well drink 'em if you got 'em. I'm going to crack open a DR6 (Barleywine) that was released in 2008. Seems appropriate.

Going with DR12 today, and maybe one per week after that.
Hopefully this is over before I finish these.
