"... retail licensees, including restaurants, are now allowed 50% capacity inside, so the need to provide emergency curbside service is no longer necessary," said Argo.

Some establishments in Tuscaloosa are required to close their bars, others are limited to table service.

Drink local! It's not just for beer.
We partnered with the ABC to showcase local spirits at 25 of their stores.

Go out and enjoy yourself this evening, but remember that last call is 11PM across Alabama starting tonight. Go out early to support local bars and breweries. #craftbeer #ALbeer

We kept our fingers crossed, but it wasn't enough, unfortunately. We are postponing this year's Magic City Brewfest, originally scheduled for June 6, but we plan to host it later this year. #craftbeer #ALbeer

Delivery for breweries and beer retailers would support local businesses, their employees, and public health.
Alabama can pass an emergency rule to allow craft breweries to deliver beer to your home. @DowntownHSV argues that would help keep Alabamians home, restore local jobs, support struggling local businesses. #ALTogether @alabamabrewers al.com/opinion/2020/04/one-w…
We did it. Still not equal to Walmart, Publix, etc. that have online curbside ordering systems, but you can now get up to 4 six packs of craft beer without leaving the car.
#Mississippi gets it. (No arbitrary limits BTW)
This. (1) Allow local restaurants the same freedom to do curbside pickup as Wal-Mart has. (2) Defer or suspend the excise tax on beer, wine, and spirits. (3) Defer sales tax payments for all local restaurants. (4) Allow delivery of alcohol during the crisis.
Let us be clear about one thing: While we are obviously concerned about our breweries, 3 of the 4 proposed actions would also apply to the thousands of local restaurants and other local retailers that have been ordered to shut down their on-premise. al.com/business/2020/03/brew…
