The beer industry has been left daunted as it tries to determine what to do with the millions of gallons of beer that is destined to go stale at the country's stadiums, concert halls, restaurants and bars.

Yep. If anything, Trump should have used the DPA to get millions more growlers manufactured by now!
Free beer! Isn’t alcohol a proven disinfectant?
Wonder what Eliot Ness would have thought?
Free Beer Tomorrow?
Let’s get drunk, on the house! Yay!
Or roll those kegs into the packed parking lots of the local Wally World and sell them for a nickel a cup, about what it costs to manufacture the stuff without the taxes. The cops could even hang out and some hiding places on the roads out and generate some revenue for the state (and the legal profession) for all those buzzed drivers.

Could it be that “ Free Beer Tomorrow” sign in the bar is true?
I’d rather drink beer.
I don’t drink either.
Seeing perfectly good things go to waste offends me greatly.
There was a bar near my brother’s college campus that held twenty-five cent draft nights.
Those will probably be making a comeback.
Wasting away again in Coronaville.
Looking for my outlawed shaker of Zinc...
Beer.
