Yes, one of the biggest beer drinking weeks of the year.
Bars and restaurants would have been filled on Tuesday and all weekend with once a year Irish.
These bar and restaurants will have already purchased or ordered their beer for next week.
Breweries will have already made the beer.
Draft beer has a relatively short shelf life. It will not keep for a month and breweries will not have the extra cooler space to store this beer for a month.
The Microbreweries will be especially hit because most of them do not have bottling facilities to can or bottle the beer that they made for this coming week’s festivities.
I suspect some brewpubs and micro-breweries will not survive this political pestilence.
Wife said they are doing booze buybacks for alcohol based businesses.
