As restaurants and bars across the United States have had their dining rooms shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, many are bracing for tough times ahead.

The pandemic has caused some companies to alter their practices or even reinvent themselves. People still need to eat and drink and since they might be wary of traveling to crowded grocery stores, some are turning to restaurants and bars to fulfill their needs.

Apparently, this includes beer.
