Herewith, I will try to present a listing of hours, and takeout policy for bars and brewpubs forced to close their public spaces during the COVID-19 emergency. I’m trying to get specific information for each establishment, based on their social media, as I remove their events from the calendar listings. If you want to get your policy mentioned here, please drop me a line.

Please remember that this situation is constantly changing, so check with your locals. If any of these places will be doing beer delivery, I will include that information. We look forward to the resumption of normal activity on March 31.
