Sam Adams Taproom Next to Faneuil Hall Temporarily Closes Due to Visitors from Coronavirus Hotspots

A taproom in a section of Boston that is popular with visitors from out of state has shut down for the time being because of visitors coming from out of state--and specifically where the COVID-19 pandemic is spiking.

Universal Hub is reporting (via a Facebook post from the place) that the Sam Adams Boston Tap Room next to Faneuil Hall is now closed for the foreseeable future, with the post saying the following:

Thank you to everyone who has come by to enjoy a beer on our outdoor roof deck patio these past three weeks. Upon further reflection, we have made a tough decision. Due to the influx of out-of-state visitors from COVID-19 hotspots to our taproom, we are closing our rooftop patio out of an abundance of caution for our guests and coworkers. While we love welcoming visitors to the taproom, we also know we need to do our part to keep everyone as safe as possible.

The taproom, which first opened in January only to temporarily close in March as the pandemic took hold, will remain open for contactless to-go orders Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. (Masks and IDs are required for any pickups made.)
