Change is in the Air! It’s here. The days are getting longer, the temperatures are climbing, and nature is starting to bloom again. It felt like an endless winter, but folks: we made it! Happy Spring! On the horizon at Cairn Brewing is a return, maybe not to “normal” but at least to a few familiar things. We want to share with you all some of the steps we will be taking in the near future as we continue to open up. First and foremost, the health and safety of our team and customers is our top priority. We will continue to uphold the current regulations and guidelines outlined by Healthy Washington’s reopening plan. We’re all feeling the Covid-fatigue more than ever, but we hope you’ll continue to enjoy your pints at Cairn responsibly and safely. A nd please, just remember your mask. As a team, we have agreed upon a few things that we are going to phase back in around the taproom. Before any of these changes take place, we want our full team to be vaccinated if they choose to do so. When our team is comfortable , here are a few things that will be returning to the Cairn taproom: Glassware - Goodbye plastic! We will be returning to glass pints and mugs! We are also planning to set up self bussing stations for glassware in the taproom and beer garden. Growler fills - Dust off your stainless growlers! We will soon be accepting outside growlers for refill. Thank you for being flexible with our current exchange system. Tabs - You can still choose to be contactless, but we will resume holding open tabs at the bar. Just don’t forget to close out! We are excited to take these steps back towards normal. Thank you always for your continued support and patience. We are a small team and many of the changes we have made over the past year were for our safety as much as yours. Unfortunately, if we’ve learned anything over the past year, it’s that the steps toward reopening make an irregular staircase. Sometimes it’s a bit further between strides forward.
