Treasury Secretary Hugh McCulloch adorns this revenue stamp from 1871: $1 per barrel of beer! Hey, he was someone’s dad, too!
It’s Thursday of the week before this week as I am posting. With the COVID-19 virus causing restaurants to close to sit-down service, a lot of events have been postponed or cancelled. I left a few of the postponements up for big events, like the Two Brothers’ anniversary party.
I have found over the previous weekend that some brewers have gone on with new beer releases, if they are able to do canned beers or crowlers for walk-in or curbside pickup. So I will update as I find these.
As always, please call your favorite establishment to see what their latest situation is. And be sure to tip generously.
Fresh Beer Events, occasional bacon, but always spam free, opt out any time.
