Well I had all this typed up and ready to go like normal for Friday at noon and then there were rumblings of some changes in the crazy state restrictions that have shuttered our beloved tap rooms and tasting rooms across Drinking Springs.  So in an effort to have the most up to date info I delayed posting just to play it safe.  In case you did not hear, there has been an amendment to the 51% TABC license.  This allows all breweries and distilleries with an outdoor area to allow customers to purchase and consume onsite, with social distancing guidelines being followed (similar to what was already in place prior to the shutdown a couple weeks ago).  This new change will also allow sites that currently do not have an outdoor seating area to create one in order to allow their customers to enjoy their beverages onsite.  Much like the last time restrictions changed this happened on a Friday and did not give the local small businesses a ton of time to make adjustments to their operating plans for this weekend. 

I'm guessing there will be a lot of changes to the info listed below so please check the locations social channels and websites prior to see what they are offering this weekend.  Everyone has cans to go so regardless get out there and support your local watering holes!  If we want them to be there when this craziness is over they need our support every single weekend.  Support local, get out and buy some cans from multiple locations, try different things (you might like it!) and let's see those bingo cards get filled up.  Bingo is running through Sunday night and we will announce the winners early next week.  Lot's of great prizes from local spots, let's show them all some love and support local. 

We added a few new style t-shirts to the store, check them out and show everyone you are all about that Drinking Springs lifestyle.
