The pandemic was just starting. Stay-at-home orders were keeping people out of the taproom and the folks at Storm Peak Brewing Company had significantly reduced their production.
“COVID hit and we ended up with excess capacity because we couldn’t brew,” said Wyatt Patterson, one of the owners of the brewery.
Over at Steamboat Whiskey Company rather than whiskey or vodka, they were using their stills to make hand sanitizer. Patterson reached out to see how they could help.
