ESSEX — A recent virtual discussion centered facilitated by state Sen. Norm Needleman, D-Essex, highlighted the pandemic-related experiences of several independent breweries operating in his 33rd District.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the breweries’ business practices since March 2020, and caused breweries to struggle in selling their offerings in the current market, Needleman said in a press release.
The participants discussed specific challenges the breweries face in surviving the challenging winter season, and what solutions could assist them until the pandemic’s abatement or widespread adoption of vaccines allow for resumption of traditional practices, the statement said.
