\"Stsmall507x507<\/a>I\u2019ll refrain from any form of 2020 recap. Pretty sure we all agree it could\u2019ve gone better.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re still in purple Tier 1 (the worst tier) here in Sonoma County, with a little over 2% of the county having been tested positive for COVID thus far\u2014such that we\u2019re still pretty far away from bringing certain elements of daily life back safely. After feeling low during a large portion of this year, it feels especially good to know that it\u2019s almost over. 2021 will likely do its best to make me regret typing that, but it\u2019s hard not to look forward to this all being past.<\/p>\n

On the beer front: I\u2019m looking forward to having a pint at a bar again someday\u2026 INSIDE, even. Without a mask on, or in my pocket. Without constantly worrying about distances and others\u2019 nose coverage. Presuming we find a vaccine that sticks, our bartender also won\u2019t feel scared just to come to work. Brewery owners won\u2019t be wondering if they\u2019re shoveling money into a pit, adjusting to the latest reopening requirements, only for a new, different lockdown to emerge. Essential workers will be able to raise a pint more easily. We\u2019ll be able to properly mourn all of this past year\u2019s losses, with people we haven\u2019t seen in way too friggin long.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really, really hard not to look forward to these things. Here\u2019s to a better 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
