When breweries finally get the go-ahead to open their doors, floor plans are going to have to change. First though, the floral industry must have really pushed Newsom hard to open before Mother’s Day.
But I digress. Safely opening is really going to be hard especially for any taproom that has a small space to navigate. Others will be able to utilize outdoor tables but I bet we are going to see Brewers and assistant brewers behind the bar for most places because it will be cost prohibitive to re-hire if you can only have 1/4 or 1/3 of the normal crowd outside. HERE is the link to what the State of California is mandating
I am thinking of one brewery where there is one entrance, two doors to open and maybe 7 seats at their bar and some table seating. Either those door stay open or someone is going to have to wipe down those handles until they are gleaming.
And you know that people will be majorly pissed and feeling entitled and will not understand why they have to wait for a seat. Let alone being told to wait in a car for a seat.
So, please, be extra thankful when you sit down for the first time. Be respectful of the rules and put a smile on under your mask.
