I am supporting my local brewery, although they do not sell food. The brewery is their side business. I was told they could close down for 6 months without much impact. The rent and labor cost is covered. They are electrical contractors. I am planning 4 growler fills a week.
We have agreed that we will place a curb side pickup order this Friday with my favorite local restaurant. I’m expecting a bill with tax and tip of around $100-120 for the three of us, more if my FIL wants a martini. We will continue that every Friday as long as it’s possible, although we may have to alternate with my father-in-law’s favorite.
