If your jonesin’ for a local brew, you’re in luck because our local breweries are still making some great beer, and getting it to the people via creativity and a little elbow grease. The Brewing Projekt turned its tap room into a curbside pickup market, carrying its signature beers as well as suds from all kinds of local breweries. The brewery is also cranking out tons of new varieties in really small batches, so it’s the perfect time to try something new. We don’t know when our local tap rooms will be open again, but at least you can still kick back with a local brew in the comfort of your own home.
