Tucson Beer Breweries & Gardens; Crowlers and Growlers
Bars and breweries in Tucson have been allowed to reopen. As of August 10th, 2020, those who have restaurant licenses are allowed to open at 50% occupancy. Those without restaurant licenses must wait. I am not entirely sure if Food Trucks on the premises constitute a “Food” license but a lot of breweries are locating Food Trucks on the premises or nearby. Several have opened up Patios for your outdoor experience, which is widely accepted to be a safer alternative to indoors where people go maskless. In an abundance of caution, many are only open for takeout.
The ones that are open offer Growlers to go. Many offer Crowlers as well. What is a Crowler you might ask? Well, I’ll tell you. It is a one time use, 32 oz. aluminum can, which when filled with your favorite brew, can be hermetically sealed for later use.
09/15/2020 Editor’s Note: This article will be updated from time to time as circumstances change in this changing world. All follow Governor Ducey’s mandated rules for Covid-19. Please follow them. We want this to work for everyone. Non-Compliant bars will be shuttered. Too soon? Take -out. Come back when you are ready. This pandemic is not over by any means. BE SAFE.
Here are a few that are open to one extent or another. There are even a couple of out of town breweries mentioned here. We will save Craft Beer pubs and Gastropubs for a later article.
