We here in South Africa, we have actually banned the sale of alcohol and cigarettes while in lock-down for almost a month now.
On that note there was a whole thread on Reddit with people saying they might kill themselves if lockdowns go on for months.
That would be hilarious, "cause of death: Covid-19"
Time for the US to get into the vegemite business

During "challenging" times, those who would benefit from a long life supply of alcohol should look at wine, spirits etc. Or they can get used to stale beer. Or they can learn to homebrew.
For the reason that beer could be like wine. If you don't like wine, I imagine beer could be a decent option to have a neat collection of
The exeception to this rule is that beers with added acidity, like a lambic or a Berliner weisse, will age well despite being lighter and lower alcohol content.
I have a few like this sitting in the basement. At least one of them has a label recommending at least one year and up to 20 years of storage. It will be fun to see how it tastes at some point.
My son in college (well in his apt with his gf, taking classes online) could easily take care of one before it expired. Hell, we could too. In Germany we had the “beer man” who would drop off beer weekly and collect the empties. This should be adopted in the USA.
simple solution: convert it to malt vinegar. this is a natural process caused by introducing a vinegar culture into the beer. then, sell it to the food industry or divert it to your food holdings (hot sauces or snacks.) this can also be distilled into acetic acid which is used in everything from solvents to cervical cancer screens and the production of precursors for polyvinyl acetate.
I appreciate your second paragraph. That said I couldn’t help think, “A New Problem Sours the Malt Vinegar Industry: One Million Kegs Are Sitting Idle“
