Seattle Area Breweries Provide Pop-Up COVID-19 Vaccinations
A handful of Seattle area breweries are stepping up to host Pop-Up COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics on Friday, May 14th. Similar to what took place this past Friday in The Dalles, Oregon at Freebridge Brewing, you’ll get a sweet reward for helping the community at large.
On Friday, May 14th, the Seattle Fire Department will be on site at Burke-Gilman Brewing and Figurehead Brewing, for a pop-up vaccination clinic. Those patrons that have not yet been vaccinated will have the opportunity to receive a vaccine shot and then a beer…for a $1. Washington breweries cannot legally give out free beer so they’re charging $1 for the beer, the vaccine is free. If you aren’t old enough to drink a beer, no worries as they’ll offer up free ice cream or soda.
The Seattle Fire Department will be on hand administering COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson at Figurehead from 3:00-4:45pm and then at Burke-Gilman from 5:15-7:00pm. No appointment needed as walk-ups are welcome.
Additional breweries in and around the Seattle area have also expressed interest in hosting the Seattle Fire Department to administer COVID-19 vaccines. The Good Society Brewery & Public House is set for Saturday, May 22nd. According the the Burke-Gilman press release, other breweries that may be on board in the future include Future Primitive Brewing, Hellbent Brewing, Obec Brewing, Peddler Brewing, Sovereign Brewing, and Flying Brewing.
