I dropped $100 at the liquor store today.I'm at one now. Soaking in final brews.
I have over 100 mostly heavy (10%) beers and probably 7 bottles of liquor at home. I'm set there.I dropped $100 at the liquor store today.

People are legit scared to sit right next to strangers at the bar. Fucking outrageous, haha
Nothing else is open. Might as well.December 31st, those same guys were going straight from the pisser to the community beer nuts bowl, sans hand-washing.
I feel like going out. I hate people. It's my dream to have fuckers avoid me like the plague.
For my whole life, I swear to God, the place could be empty and someone will come sit right fucking next to me.Nothing else is open. Might as well.
Dogfish is still brewing. They were even using brewing equipment to make hand sanitizer when it was in short supply. Not sure if the restaurant opened back up again. When they built the glitzy glass-and-chrome place and closed the old traditional bar, and they were bought by Sam Adams the whole atmosphere changed for the worse anyway.Any local ones? Just one small one here so far (and Rhinegeist for Cincy folk).
I've seen Founders, New Belgium, and Dogfish so far.
I was just talking about the actual location (obviously, that was at the start of the whole thing... Cause I'm pretty sure every brewery ceased taproom operations last year)Dogfish is still brewing.

3rd Wave Brewery is gone, bought by Burley Oak, another brewery. But, they were on the market before Covid so I don't think it's a Covid fatality.
Dragon Hops, which I mentioned above, closed early in Covid so I would guess they were in trouble already.
The Iron Hill chain of brewpubs was sold. The beer is still there, but they don't seem to be producing any new beers, and the restaurant only has a little bit of the original menu.
Thompson Island, another brewpub, opened a couple of months before Covid hit, but they are successful even now.
I'm in Delaware. Pure breweries shut down, mostly, but some have reopened. Brew pubs with restaurants opened earlier. Misspillion ran a storefront-only retail operation for a while. 3rd Wave kept their taproom open as far as I know until they were purchased. Big Oyster and Dewey Beer are still running brewpubs, and Revelation is running sort-of a taproom with food trucks and a heated tent.I was just talking about the actual location (obviously, that was at the start of the whole thing...

I think all of them around here have opened back up with limited capacity, but all of them shut down, aside from delivery/carry-out for a little while.I'm in Delaware.
