ATLANTA — With temperatures climbing into the low-80s and the sun out, it’s time to hit up a patio or brewery and enjoy some good times with friends.

But with the coronavirus pandemic, you can’t just round up your friends and head out for afternoon or night of celebration. Instead, you’ll have to improvise.

All Atlanta-area taprooms have been temporarily closed, but many of them now offer brews to go.

During the pandemic, give some new beers a taste by trying some brews from a brewery you’ve never experienced before. Just remember: Don’t drink and drive.

President Franklin Roosevelt said, upon signing the Cullen-Harrison Act, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”

That seems like good advice now, too. The 1933 Cullen-Harrison act legalized the sale of beer with an alcohol content of 3.2% or lower. Prohibition had ended sales of drinks with more than 0.5% alcohol in 1920.
