Remember how cute we all were back in March, posting pictures on social media of ourselves wearing bandannas, looking like masked bank robbers and wondering whether or not businesses were going to allow people with masks to come inside? My, how things have changed. As time ticks slowly toward the March 17 anniversary of the beginning of Colorado s COVID lockdown, most small businesses and the people who frequent them have incorporated new rules and new ways of doing things in their daily lives.
These days, those bandannas have mostly been replaced by hospital-style masks and they are no longer cute while a host of other strange-looking scenes have become normal. Here are 25 Facebook photos from local breweries and beer bars that would have made no sense to us a year ago.

Call it the new generation of light beers
December 28, 2020
Call it the new generation of light beers: Reflecting a national trend centered around healthy living, Colorado breweries including Oskar Blues, Ska, Odell and New Belgium have begun rolling out low-calorie, low-carb brews targeted at consumers with active lifestyles.
“Both in hardcore craft drinkers and craft-curious people, the lighter option is seeing a little bit of a resurgence,” says Aaron Baker, senior marketing manager for Oskar Blues, whose new One-y IPA has 4% alcohol by volume and 100 calories per 12-ounce can, as opposed to the 6.5% ABV and 150 calories in its flagship Dale’s Pale Ale.

April brought a grim outlook for the craft brewing industry.
About a month into the COVID-19 shutdown, a national survey showed three in five breweries said they wouldn’t survive if the pandemic persisted for three more months.
New stimulus package permanently extends excise tax regulations saving craft brewers thousands
Updated Dec 23, 2020;
The bill adds even more relief to craft breweries across the country as it relates to the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act (CBMTRA).
Current regulations tax $3.50 per barrel of beer on the first 60,000 barrels produced by breweries. The tax jumps to $16 for every barrel beyond 60,000.
The regulation was set to expire on Dec. 31. The stimulus bill permanently extends the regulation.
If it had expired, the cost would jump from $3.50 to $16 regardless of the size of a brewery.
“That’s huge. I can’t even imagine if that actually wasn’t extending and suddenly we had to pay four times as much in federal excise tax,” CEO of Redemption Rock Brewing Co. Dani Babineau said.
