ALBANY Restaurants and taverns are expanding their seating and their hours as pandemic restrictions continue to ease, but many New Yorkers are continuing to drink at home.
Sales at beer and wine and liquor stores across New York jumped during the first year of the pandemic and plummeted by even greater percentages at sit-down establishments. The two may be balancing each other out: Industry figures show only small changes in overall sales from year to year.
Several local alcohol retailers told The Gazette this past week that their sales have remained strong even as the COVID-19 crisis that fueled their sales boom subsided.
Every week another incentive to go and get vaccinated seems to be coming out. At least this one gives a little spotlight to some of the best breweries in Central New York.
In recent weeks there has been everything from being entered into a pool to win a sweet million dollars, to getting a lottery scratch-off ticket. This is where the New York State Brewers Association steps in and says hold my beer. Except they will just hand you your own, for free.
So in an effort to see more New Yorkers get vaccinated, select breweries all over the Empire State are starting the Shot and a Beer campaign. It s super easy to qualify for it too. If in the month of June you get at least one vaccination shot, you will be able to get a free craft beer.
