Brew Time by KRISTIN MERRITT
QuaranBEERing Well folks, we’re in the thick of it, stuck at home or deemed an essential worker on the front-lines. Caring directly for COVID patients or homeschooling the kiddos. Revamping our small businesses to keep up with the current changes or looking for a new job altogether. Creating new recipes in our kitchens, wondering when toilet paper will be fully stocked on grocery store shelves, and getting used to wearing facemasks everywhere. Times are strange and social distancing has us missing our friends, our favorite bartenders, and simply the freedom to live our lives unhindered. So, what’s a craft beer lover to do? The good news is that you can still enjoy your favorite breweries, brews and find new ways to socialize, even if it isn’t within your favorite establishment. Curb-side pickup, it’s not just for restaurants anymore! Many of your favorite local breweries are adjusting their hours and have created a system so that they are able to bring beer right out to your vehicle when you pull up. Talking Cursive Brewing Company (301 Erie Blvd West, Syracuse/ Creekwalk Commons) has an option (via their Facebook page) to order beer “now” or schedule a pick up time for later in the day.

TABLE HOPPING
You can choose from a variety of options including canned beer, bottled beer, and draft beer freshly canned into a 32 oz.

When you get there, use your cell to call the brewery and they’ll deliver it right to you, without you ever even having to leave the comfort of your heated seats. In some cases, breweries have even developed a way to deliver beer to you at your home! IBU Brewery (3703B Brewerton Rd, Syracuse) not only has a website to order beer for curb-side pickup, but will also deliver within a 15-mile radius to your house! (www. beermeibu.com) For pick-up they’ll fill your growler on their tap lines (see what’s available online) or you can choose from a variety of cans available. Just honk your
