KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Missouri-based Boulevard Brewing Company has found ways to keep selling beer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many employees have been able to work from home and continue engaging with customers through virtual events and care packages.

Despite the city's plan to allow non-essential businesses to reopen Friday, Boulevard’s facility will not immediately reopen to the public.

“We’re going to work aggressively to support our restaurants and our bars all over town and take a breath and assess the situation a little bit more,” Boulevard’s Vice President of Marketing Natalie Gershon said.

The release of Boulevard’s new beer “Worth the Wait,” which celebrates the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory, has been delayed because of the pandemic.

Boulevard said the new beer will now be released in early June.

We've created a Facebook group, We're Open Kansas City, where members of the community can post businesses serving their community.
