Alcohol brands are making plans for the post-pandemic future. 

Alcohol brands are making plans for the post-pandemic future. There’s been a clear surge in alcohol sales during quarantine as young consumers stock booze and turn to brands they know, many of which have “widespread distribution and availability.” According to Nielson, online alcohol sales saw a “staggering” 339% surge during the first part of May. Despite the general spike, local craft breweries and distilleries, who rely on in-person tap and tasting rooms, are hurting as they struggle to migrate online.
