St. Patrick's Day brings the urgently needed thrust to Bay Area Breweries-NBC Bay Area

Local breweries are facing customer support because they deal with newly imposed tariffs.

People raised their glasses to St. Patrick's Day and rolled in the name of Ireland

“I have green on my fingernails. I have green on my toes and wear golden earrings and drink beer. It won't get much better than that, ”said Nancy Kapral.

Bay Area Breweries and Tap Rooms have never been happier to use the spirit of St. Patty's Day. However, the newly imposed tariffs in Canada, in which breweries get their majority of their aluminum doses and the Malt -Frensten, have many in the brow business for challenging times.

“Lately there has been so much uncertainty in the tariffs and how they will affect us and right and right,” said Ryan Gibbons from Mare Island Brewing Company.

Gibbons, co -founder of the Mare Island Brewing Company, said the breweries will need the support of the community to survive what is ahead of us and they ask people to get out.

“The staff is ready to go to beer here, and if at all, we only need a few thirsty drinkers here tonight,” he said.

You have a lambot and corned beef croquettes on the menu, perfect for rinsing with a cold glass of stout. The three locations of the brewery survived the pandemic and they say that with a little luck they will also get the trade wars.

“Mare Island as a shipyard rose through the civil war, the First World War, the Second World War and the Cold War, the Vietnam area of ​​the Korea. We can get through that. We will find out how to survive the storm and come out on the other side, ”he said.
