Save Florida’s Craft Breweries

Florida’s craft beer industry is in peril. Being allowed to reopen for a week and then requiring breweries to close back down, while restaurants can continue to serve alcohol just because they also “offer” food (whether or not they actually sell it) is unacceptable. 10,000 Floridians are currently unemployed in the industry. Why is there no plan from the state to offer any type of assistance to this specific industry- literally the only one that is mandated closed right now? I love my local Florida breweries and have been trying to support them as much as possible throughout this pandemic. I would hate to see many go under because of gross incompetence in our government, and lack of support for our small businesses here in Florida. Please help craft brewers survive.
