Wolf’s Ridge Brewing had been anticipating its biggest year ever.

It expanded production in January but by March — like all breweries and restaurants — business restrictions caused by Covid-19 sent it scrambling.

A new home delivery program for beer went live right as the state closed dine-in business.

Co-owner Bob Szuter said through the first month delivery sales have actually offset the loss in taproom sales. But the Wolf’s Ridge business in normal times is far more than that with bustling restaurant and event components as well, so though those delivery sales are something, the overall numbers are well below historic levels.

The CARES Act is providing some assistance, but still is creating plenty of questions as well.

That and more is discussed in this episode of Crisis Management, Columbus Business First’s new discussion series with area business owners and leaders about how the coronavirus pandemic is changing the way they do business.
