Two Prominent Seattle Breweries Will Feature Toilet Paper Giveaways Saturday

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As restaurants and bars around Seattle adjust to the statewide takeout and delivery-only mandate due to coronavirus measures, two local breweries are getting resourceful with their takeout plans. They’ll feature free toilet paper prominently.

The lauded Seapine Brewing Company in SoDo plans to open its doors Saturday, selling growlers and kegs for curbside pickup — and those who buy a 64-ounce growler will get a roll of toilet paper (while supplies last).

Meanwhile, Georgetown’s Lowercase Brewing is hosting a toilet paper exchange, in which customers can get two rolls free, or donate excess roles to receive a 50 percent-off voucher for a future visit. Sort of like a bathroom supply co-op. Washington Beer Blog first reported on the events.

Seapine’s effort will be the first time the brewery has ever sold kegs to the public — the toilet paper is just a bonus. Owner Drew Colpitts tells Eater Seattle the brewery happened to have purchased a couple of commercial cases Sunday, but due to the order earlier this week to close the taproom, there was no use for them. Seapine will also insist on filling only new growlers to avoid cross-contamination, and offer a number of their IPAs (Citra and Positron), along with the floral Candle Fly Kolsch. “If it goes well, we’ll do more [events like this],” says Colpitts.

1. That's some good ideas

They need all the help they can get. Most restaurants are not going to make it. That is very awful.

2. Seapine and Lowercase are both really good breweries...

with good people.

Small breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms are really hurting during this time.

I'm doing my very best to help support them! If 60% alcohol is good against the virus on hands and surfaces where it is subject to evaporation and alcohol's hydroscopic nature, I figure that 5% to 9.5% (we have a really nice barleywine!) may be helpful when taken internally.

Personal experience and anecdotal evidence so far appears promising - we're still healthy, and getting plenty of exercise walking to the brewery to pick up supplies!
