Blindman's Bold Move

I’m a big fan of Blindman Brewing and I’ve dropped by their Lacombe location on my rare trips between Calgary and Edmonton. They have made some great barrel aged stouts using their massive Ichorous Stout as a base. I’ve had good look finding their best products at Kensington Wine Market.

All that changed today when they offered to deliver their beer to my door. I’m on a 14 day lockdown and to be honest, I’m not going to be drinking heavily during this time but they are offering to bring their beer to my door, OVERNIGHT! Not only that, they’re delivering it in as safe a way as possible:

Delivery driver will be wearing gloves and mask,
and will drop beer outside your door.
Every item will be sanitized with isopropyl alcohol.

I feel for delivery guys:

However, I might make you sick. You might make me sick. Let us respect that for now and we can hug it out with unwashed hands later.

I decided to raise the bar today (once we got a printer cartridge) by printing this sign for our door to complement my wife’s handwritten note:

One of the best ways to support your favourite providers through this epic slump is to buy gift cards or get their products delivered to you. My little fridge is almost full but the more robust beers age well and there will be a very big party when the all clear (for real!) is sounded.
