Beer in the Time of Corona
Until you’re traveling again, fill your fridge with unique craft beers you can order from these online beer sites.
Many craft breweries distilled the beer sitting idle in their kegs into hand sanitizer during lockdown. Others?
They released beers with cheeky names inspired by COVID-19: No Mask? Fugetaboutit!, a witbier from Bridge and Tunnel Brewery in New York, and Don’t Stand So Close to Me, a Vienna lager crafted by Wild Heaven Beer company in Georgia, to name just two. I Miss Loud Taprooms, a double IPA from Outer Range Brewing in Frisco, Colorado, could be the traveling beer lover’s lament. Sitting at the bar at a brewery buzzing with locals to taste a beer you can’t get back home is one of the perks of being on the road. Until you’re traveling again, fill your fridge with unique craft beers you can order from these online beer sites. The only sour note is that your state’s alcohol delivery laws may limit your purchase of certain beers.
