The easiest (and tastiest) way to celebrate National Beer Day is by—you guessed it—drinking beer! Luckily, Birmingham’s best local breweries (which is all of them) are all offering curbside pickup of their delicious brews.

Curious about curbside pickup? Basically, just call, text or email your favorite brewery and let them know what you’d like to order. Then, either pay online or when you arrive. They’ll bring your order to the door or even to your car—it’s that simple!

If you’d like to know more, learn all about curbside pick at Birmingham’s breweries.

This quarantine, give the gift of beer to your friends and family. You can buy online gift cards as well a gift through Birmingham’s own Instagift and spend wherever you want, whenever you want.

Although we can’t wait to get back to hanging with our friends at our favorite breweries, you can make the most of each day (especially National Beer Day) by hanging out and celebrating with your friends on FaceTime—plus, think how much you’ll save on an Uber!

On National Beer Day, make sure to tag @bhamnow and your brewery of choice when you celebrate!
