So, who needs a beer? One silver lining of Gov. Abbott’s "I'm so over this mask thing" announcement is that taprooms can now open. And while some local breweries applied for a food and beverage permit allowing them to operate as a restaurant over the past years, others have been shuttered for almost a year now. So, they, like Peticolas Brewing Co, are dusting off the divan for guests once again. Most taprooms in North Texas are still adhering to social distancing and mask protocols. Community Beer Company gets gold stars all over their chart for helping out a lot of local homeowners who had busted pipes and no water after the winter storm. After Hurricane Harvey hit Houston they created non-profit, The Greater Good, with the intent of helping communities, specifically low-income and elderly homeowners, after crisis hit. Needless to say, they've been busy.
