Why can't more breweries start making a hand sanitizers?

I'm aging it. I don't drink hand sanitizer that's less than three years old. I have standards.

 

During WW2 a lot of companies contributed to the war effort and made things that were not their regular products. I have a few guns with parts made by Underwood Typewriter, Inland Division of General Motors, Smith and Corona and Union Switch and Signal and a few others.

I think its great that these companies are stepping up to help in this event.

 

I worked for GM. The list of things made for the war effort was long. Very long.

Aircraft, tanks, trucks, marine engines, machine guns, and so on, and on. One guy I knew had pictures of the 3" Naval cannons used on small vessels and subs in the test firing range in a basement (dummy rounds, big backstop area).

 

Ford's announcement about their current work.

No time is given for SOP. There will be big press releases when the first one comes off the line for any automaker in the US. Unfortunately it may be May or June when that happens.

 

I read the BJCP will add hand sanitizer as a new category. Their style guidelines will include IPAs,Smoked,Spiced,wood aged and Fruited.

 

at least they wouldn't have to worry about shelf space...
