As we promised Tuesday, here is our massive compilation of all the changes to hours of operation for breweries this Thanksgiving week. Most are closed on Thursday, of course, but a few are staying open. Most have normal hours today (Wednesday), but a few may close early. Friday hours are trending toward normalcy, but we just wanted to be helpful and let everyone know the situation at every brewery we list in Week Ahead.
Speaking of Week Ahead, make sure to go back and check it for some specials happening Friday, from the big VantaBlack events at the Boxing Bear taprooms to Blackest Friday at Rowley Farmhouse Ales and more.
