We are pleased to announce that we will be reintroducing a few “before times” elements back to the Taproom at Cairn Brewing: Glassware is back! We are still trying to get a feel for the flow of busing stations in the brewery. Please help us out by clearing your own table to the appropriate receptacle (trash, recycle, bus tub) We will resume filling outside growlers. This includes stainless steel growlers as well. We will only fill cleaned and rinsed growlers as normal. You may now open a tab at the bar! We will require a credit card on file to hold the tab , so cardless payments will continue to be pay-as-you-go. Our Beer To-Go fridge is now self service. Grab the cans you would like and bring them up to the register where a beertender will snap them into a can holder for you. This is a step to normal, but still not “all the way” normal. These things will not change : Face masks are still required to be worn when not seated at your table. We are still following WA State guidelines for reopening. Party size at a table can’t be more than 10. For our taproom, we ask that only groups of 6+ move no more than two tables together. Please ask a beertender for help. We will still not be taking cash at this time. Beverages and food need to be consumed at your table. No drinking at the bar, or wandering around the taproom and beer garden while drinking. Things are looking up! A journalist I admire recently wrote in an op-ed that it feels like this point in our “Pandemic Life” is the five minutes before the dismissal bell. We all just need to hold it together for five more metaphorical minutes, and then we'll all enjoy summer break together. Now that’s a reason to Cheers!
