KALAMAZOO, MI-- -- For more than two weeks, restaurants and bars across Michigan have grappled with the challenge of keeping their businesses open while complying with the state’s indoor dining ban.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services three-week partial shutdown, aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19, took effect Nov. 18 and is scheduled to expire on Tuesday, Dec. 8.
Establishments have adjusted their businesses to serve patrons via curbside pickup, takeout, delivery and some have even kept their patios open, despite colder temperatures. In addition to carry-out food, many restaurants have been serving to-go drinks as well.
In June, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed off on cocktails-to-go legislation to give a boost to businesses that have suffered financially due to the pandemic. The legislation allows people to purchase cocktails from bars and restaurants via pick-up or delivery. The state already permitted the sell of unopened beer and wine.
Here are a handful of local establishments that offer drinks-to-go.
Latitude 42 Brewing Company:
Latitude 42 has two locations in Portage at 7842 Portage Road and in Oshtemo at 6101 W Main St. On top of a large selection of to-go food, the brewing company has a wide variety of drinks to take with you. Most notably are the adult juice boxes that come in three flavors: Ice Queen (L42 vodka, blue curacao, lemon juice, BRIX lemonade and maraschino cherry), Mulled Cider (L42 bourbon, apple cider, brown sugar, lemon juice and orange juice) and Pomegranate Lemonade (L42 vodka, BRIX pomegranate lemonade and lemon juice).
All three juice boxes are priced at $9.50 a piece or you can purchase a mix and match six-pack for $36. They are also selling four packs of Party at the Moontower, I.P.Eh! and MI Honey Amber. Additionally, they sell the rest of their draft beers in 64-ounce growlers. People can place an order online for pickup or call either location to place an order - Oshtemo, 269-775-7242 or Portage at 269-459-4242. Both locations have outdoor patio space and are open weather-permitting. For current hours please visit their website.

Presidential Brewing, located at 8302 Portage Rd. in Portage, has implemented a ‘beer fairy’ that will deliver beer to customers on Tuesday afternoons within a ten mile radius. Customers must order their beer before 2 p.m. on Tuesday to receive it that day. If you are craving a refreshing soda the fairies also deliver BRIX soda.
