Bars are still closed, unless they're "restaurants", which it seems most breweries are finding a way to get around, whether they offered food before this or not. Indoor dining is closed, but it seems a lot of breweries have setup outdoor operations to stay open.
Still some breweries [and some customer bases] may be handling this entire thing, from their setups to their practices, better or worse than others as it relates to COVID.
In OC, who has a good setup? Thinking about taking a Jeep ride to a brewery this weekend, and looking for one with:
- Socially distanced tables outdoor with shade.
- Enough seating that on a weekend around lunchtime/mid-afternoon it's unlikely there'll be a wait for a table.
- Good beer (of course), but a mix of styles, not just every variety of orange juice looking IPAs.
I think locally here, Laguna Beach Beer Company (in RSM) has taken over a bunch of their parking lot to put in picnic tables with umbrellas for shade, and meets these requirements. But we've been there a bunch of times personally, so might want to try somewhere we haven't been or gone to recently.
