Slow Lane

This blog, well me, is fond of borrowing great ideas from other parts of life that it (I) thinks would work well in craft beer. Here is another one…

A lot of digital ink has been spilled during the pandemic regarding loneliness and isolation. But this is one of the first truly smart ideas I have seen to combat it. And brewery taprooms can do something like it.

Designate a communal table, maybe at a certain time each week where anyone can come and talk. No phones allowed of course, unless one is showing photos. Have a special low ABV session ale and have a brewery employee there to get drinks but also just there to chat about beer and / or life.

It would be a great way to walk the community talk.
