Get Your Beer – in different ways

The closure of breweries and tap rooms (you know what the Governor calls “Non-essential”) means that getting beer needs new methods.

Here are some quick updates from local breweries:

King Harbor – will deliver growlers. If timing is right, same day. Only in the South Bay so call to find out if you are in range.

Smog City – has dock to-go sales at their front door and will also offer next day beer delivery from one of their beertenders. Again check the delivery maps.

MacLeod Ales – has the one-two of beer AND pizza. And you can get crowlers of cask ale too.

Eagle Rock and Brewyard are also doing to-go sales.

Indie Brewing and Highland Park are also testing out delivery options.

Just a partial list, but it should get you started.

Scanners

Are you ready to be scanned when you enter a taproom?  Is speedee ordering worth it? I have read articles where license plates can be scanned to speed drive-thru ordering and now there is a new company that will take camera technology and add it to a bar to film customers as they enter so that the bartenders know who was in line first.

The company is DataSparQ and they began bar testing in London in June with more tests trials to come.  More than facial data will be compiled as the company is selling how to track busy and slack times amidst other data points.

Seems just a skosh intrusive to me.  Enough of my personal data is being stored in server farms enough as it is.  I would rather come back to a bar at a less busy time rather than having my face be my ticket like I am at a busy deli. Serving # 90 now, the gentlemen with greying hair is next.
