Bringing the Brewery Home
Spartanburg has FIVE local breweries, and while taprooms are open with CDC guidelines, you may feel more comfortable drinking your favorite pint at home for some social distancing fun on the porch.Don't forget your masks! The Governor's most recent executive order (that went into effect August 3rd) requires masks for all bar and restaurant staff AND customers, when not actively eating or drinking. Whether you're drinking in their taprooms or taking your brews to-go, wear a mask when waiting at the bar, waiting on a table, and when walking to the bathrooms.But now, for the reason you're reading this...
