Indiana Breweries and Beer Bars Reopening this Week

Under phase two of Governor Holcomb’s five phase plan, those Indiana breweries and beer bars that serve food, may open their restaurant seating areas at 50% capacity this week, in all but Marion, Lake and Cass Counties. (Bar seating must remain closed.) Marion and Lake County food establishments may open next Monday, May 18th, and those in Cass County may open Monday, May 25th.

As result of this, many breweries and beer bars have reopened, but in some cases are doing carry-out, curbside and/or delivery service, as well. Others have delayed reopening but are still doing carry-out, curbside and/or delivery service, as are the non-food entities. A small number remain completely closed. Check out websites, Facebook pages or phone a brewery or beer bar to ascertain their status, before proceeding to their location.

Two Breweries Announce Closures

On April 29th, Redemption Alewerks announced their permanent closing followed a day later by Brugge Brasserie.

Redemption Alewerks posted their decision on Twitter. They ended their tweet by saying, “We hope to cross paths again with each of you over a nice brew somewhere down this crazy road of life.”

Brugge Brasserie announced their closing decision on Facebook by stating, “At this location at least. We plan to open a new Brugge somewhere, sometime.”

We hopefully will see you again, with a glass of beer in hand, in the not too distant future!

I have Posted a Poll on Twitter

You can participate in the poll here.

Shouldn’t Indiana breweries, wineries, distilleries and bars be able to reopen the same time as restaurants, if they have outdoor seating, use only that area, and follow the same rules as restaurants?
