Left Coast Coffee launches coffee campaign donating to local essential workers MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Giving back has always been a part of the business plan for locals JB

and Rebecca Haslett. The owners of Left Coast Coffee Company have found that it can be difficult in times like these when small businesses across the country are struggling to deal with the restrictions COVID-19 has created. However, this pandemic will not be stopping the generosity of the Hasletts, which is why they’ve launched

a Fuel a Frontliner campaign to give to lift the spirits of others. In 2007, the Hasletts operated Pacific Grind Café in south Lincoln City for several years while serving their coffee. With the birth of their twins six years ago, the couple looked for a smaller business, and decided to cre-

Beer To-Go: Local brewery finds silver lining during restrictions MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

As the old saying goes, ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.’ For small businesses in Lincoln County, they’ve been forced to navigate the developing regulations for operation during the worldwide pandemic, COVID-19. And for some, this has sparked ingenuity and resourcefulness that may pay dividends for their business in the long run. One of these businesses is Beachcrest Brewing Company in Gleneden Beach.

White has been faced with new challenges almost daily as he has shifted operations to a walk up window open Wednesday through Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. But after a few weeks, White said they’ve become acclimated to how things are working these days. “The challenges have been with shifting our whole approach to our customers (our walk-up window, limited deliveries, communicating to our customer base), our product (shifting to cans, bottles and growlers and away from pouring pints in the taproom) and overall operation of the business,” White said. “Oddly, there’s been a huge positive side to all this, and we’re trying to see the silver lining in it all.” That silver lining came in the form of cans of beer. As they shifted their approach, White said this gave them the opportunity to purchase a beer canning machine to provide small in-house canning and bottling. “We’ve had intentions to start our own canning

for a while and this was the reason to get it done,” White said. “I’m glad we’ll be able to offer packaged to-go options to customers when things return to normal. The reception of the cans has been great.” Beachcrest is currently offering growler fills, bottles of their Belgian and BarrelAged line, as well as some locally sourced wines and ciders. And as always, gift cards, apparel and merchandise. “You can still join up with our Tiki Mug Club and get some fun benefits. The coolest of which is our “celebrate the seasonals” benefit where you get the first

Through the challenges they’ve faced, White said his business has been fortunate enough to not have to lay off a bunch of employees like others. “I don’t envy the companies that had to do that,” White said. “Our employees have other income streams to help them through these times, so that’s encouraging. We’re just trying to keep our overhead as low as possible and yet bring in enough
