NY State Craft Breweries Start to Reopen After Covid 19 Shutdown

Craft breweries across New York State are starting to reopen after a very difficult three months for the industry.





Breweries in "phase 2" regions are open for outdoor seating while breweries in "phase 3" regions are open for both indoor and outdoor seating according to NYS DOH guidelines. This includes the North Country, the Southern Tier, the Mohawk Valley, the Finger Lakes region and Central New York. These guidelines require 50% reduced capacity, physical distancing, face coverings and per-table maximum seating of 10.





The New York State Brewers Association took an impact poll and learned that NY State breweries had furloughed 86% of their part time employees and 65% of their full time employees due to Covid 19 in what has been a very tough time for the industry.





We've all been hard-hit this spring ... from the brewers to the fans of great craft beer. It's time to step out and step up ... responsibly, of course ... and support this industry that has given us so much.
