2020 was quite the year, wasn’t it? With so much going on, we thought it would be nice to reflect back and share with you what we’ve been proudest of these last twelve months. We also wanted to take a moment and say thank you to our Montclair Brewery family for your continued support, as this past year was everything but normal.
From COVID-19 to commercials, 2020 had it all. We’re grateful to have powered through and that we were able to provide craft beers to enjoy with your friends and family, both virtually and in-person. Here are a few of our most memorable times 2020:
