Good-bye to large format drinks
When groups again gather indoors around tables at bars and breweries, chances are they won’t be sharing pitchers of beer, mimosas or sangria. Punch bowls are also getting stored away, at least for the near future. And that brunch favorite—the customized bloody Mary bar—is also a thing of the past.
In a recent Technomic survey, 62% of consumers said they would avoid shared drinks at bars. However, a number of restaurants and wineries have expanded their growlers-to-go initiatives. Customers come and fill a reusable growler with wine and beer to take home.
