During the pandemic, Societe has been serving customers outdoors and requiring them to get food from a taco truck in the parking lot. The new guidelines are giving Societe some more flexibility. “It’s a big win for the consumer. The fact that you can just go have a beer, or a couple of tasters or a flight and you don’t need to order food I think it’s a great win,” said Constantiner. Under the new rules, breweries, wineries and distilleries in the purple and red tiers can now serve alcohol without food, outdoor reservations are required, customers can stay for 90 minutes and drinking must stop by 8 p.m.
