They released beers with cheeky names inspired by COVID-19: No Mask? Fugetaboutit!, a witbier from Bridge and Tunnel Brewery in New York, and Don’t Stand So Close to Me, a Vienna lager crafted by Wild Heaven Beer company in Georgia, to name just two. I Miss Loud Taprooms, a double IPA from Outer Range Brewing in Frisco, Colorado, could be the traveling beer lover’s lament. Sitting at the bar at a brewery buzzing with locals to taste a beer you can’t get back home is one of the perks of being on the road. Until you’re traveling again, fill your fridge with unique craft beers you can order from these online beer sites. The only sour note is that your state’s alcohol delivery laws may limit your purchase of certain beers.

Best Damn Beer Shop based in San Diego has a great selection of West Coast beers that it ships to about 30 states. The minimum order is $40, and the company ships only in exact amounts of six or 12 mix and match per box.

CraftShack works directly with small bottle shops that offer unique small-batch beers. Started by beer enthusiasts in 2012, in 2018 it branched out into spirits, so you can find some interesting bottles for your bar, too. The more you order, the more you save.
