Marin County brewers suffered their first COVID-related casualty earlier this month when Iron Springs Public House in San Rafael decided, due to the economic impacts of the ongoing pandemic, to shut down. The food and drink service industry has been hit especially hard since mandatory restrictions on how restaurants, bars and brewpubs can do business took effect early in the spring, with several new rules implemented since then.

“We saw the writing on the wall back in March, when the shutdown started,” says Iron Springs owner Mike Altman. “We just didn’t know how long it would go on for, and we had our fingers crossed. By August, we realized that if things didn’t reopen immediately, we were finished.”
