Getting beer at the to-go window of the brewpub is how you get to-go beer from the brewery.

given that they're about to shut down their direct-to-consumer channel, and that channel is much more profitable than going through retails, 110% chance they will be selling cases at the brewery shortly. 

so, sorry space - you're going to have to continue sweet-talking celeste into a bi-annual midwest road trip.

Draft sales at the brewpub were probably only a small percentage of their total sales though.

true dat, but over-the-bar/direct-to-consumer sales are several times more profitable than wholesale - so while it represents a small portion of volume, it represents a disproportionate share of profits.  doubtful that they'll want to give that up.

(aside: over-the-bar/direct-to-consumer sales are what keeps most craft breweries afloat.  pandemic = no such sales = a lot more local breweries will be going under…)

It's interesting. Back in the early days of taprooms/tasting rooms, they used to give you free samples in hopes that maybe you'd buy a full pour or take home some bottles. Dogfish, Deschutes, and the Alchemist come to mind. Or they'd charge you a per ounce price cheaper than what their take home bottles cost. Alesmith and Maine Beer Company come to mind. I guess at some point the coin flipped and taprooms became money making ventures rather than a place to showcase the product and establish loyalty.

A gay male actor is accusing him of hiring male prostitutes. Perez Hilton retweeted it. A bunch of random innuendo that he makes them sign NDAs. A bunch of woke youths decided gay slurs are fine now as long as they are directed at Lindsey Graham. And no one (I’ve seen) has actually said “yes, and I am one of those #rentboys!”

I don't understand.  What would the O stand for?

Its putting the word BOT in LGBT. “Kosmo puts the O in LGBOT.”

Even if you don’t capitalize it, my annoyance is around you not making the closing T in “bot” be the same T in LGBT. That double T is garrish.

I mean, one T is for bot and one is for Trans.  If they shared a "T", it would be entirely confusing. It would make it look like I was just adding an O.
