Breweries to survive coronavirus?

I know of an Iowa brewery whose keg orders were all cancelled in one day because of the pandemic. Most breweries that already offered canning or bottling now have curbside delivery. I have heard of those who will fill growlers (I assume there are cleanliness restrictions).
It is quite possible that some brewers and their beers will not survive. Just wondering if we can compile two lists.
List 1: Breweries we know have already closed permanently.
List 2: Beers that in your opinion would be difficult to do without or are worthy to keep even if the brewery closes its doors in the future.

Please DO NOT list those who you believe have closed.

List #1: I have no additions.
List #2:
- Easy Eddie - Big Grove Brewery;
- WitchSlap - Clockhouse Brewing;
- Back Road Stout - Millstream (not a great Oatmeal Stout, but one of the few I can get my hands on regularly);
- Black Cobra - Third Base Brewery (again, not a great Oatmeal Stout, but can usually be had at the brewery. Falls under "Prove to me that you can build a consistent Oatmeal Stout before you attempt to brew ANY effing coffee stouts or whisky stouts!");
- Blonde Fatale - Peacetree (despite the fact that it is a fairly poor Belgian imitation and though I nearly have a heart attack because of the combine alcohol % and corn syrups).​

Lots of whining in the off season so far and the transfer market is just opening up. Who is keeping their season tickets for mbb? Not worried about your donor level or if you are changing it just if your keeping your tickets.

I've had mine for a long time through many coaches and many seasons. I'm in next yr. Don't know what the season will bring (hopefully better than what most are thinking), but I'm in anyway.

Whatever decision you make no judgement from me we all have out own lives to lead.

Cyclonefanatic is an awesome place. i found it my junior year of college and found it to be the most reliable AND personable source of Cyclone News. I rarely go to parties, but I make a point to go to cyclonefanatic game watches because I am a fan of cyclonefanatic.

The coronavirus sucks. It also is affecting businesses VERY negatively. If you love cyclonefanatic as much as I do, you'll help them out. It's only $3 a month. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A PANDEMIC TO SUPPORT THE THING THAT WE READ EVERY DAY.

Friday OT #1 - I Had Some Time Alone

What all is different about your day-to-day routine right now? Are you wearing different clothes (like, I have only changed from one pair of pajama pants to another all week)? Are you working or learning in a different place? Are you doing anything different to remember this COVID-19 outbreak time?

I feel like this is one of those 9/11, JFK assassination, Challenger explosion types of moments - 25 years from now, teachers are going to be having kids ask adults where they were during this time when the whole world is basically stopped. (For most, the answer is, "at home.") I am working from home one week, in office the next, and alternating - but I'm keeping a journal on a Google Doc so that I can give it to my grandkids one day to take to school.

What are you all doing?

Reddit /r/CollegeBasketball Simulated College Hoops 2K8 Tournament

Reddit's /r/CollegeBasketball subreddit is simulating the entire tournament on Collge Hoops 2K8 (2K8 is used so they could create teams that weren't in the game).

They released the bracket and used the regular season champion as the auto-bid then used BracketMatrix to seed them.

Full Bracket here:

GREATEST MBB GAMES BRACKET

We want your help in choosing the greatest Iowa State men's basketball game of the last 40 years (or basically since Johnny Orr got to Ames). The bracket has 64 games chosen and seeded by our selection committee (aka @khaal53).

The bracket regions will be released in this order:

Thursday - Niang Regional (2010s)
Friday - Grayer Regional (1980s)
Monday - Fizer Regional (2000s)
Tuesday - Hoiberg Regional (1990s)

Details on how to vote, how long voting will last for each round, etc. will be included in the article on Monday and the first round of voting will open Tuesday morning when I put out the fourth article. We'll be doing re-watchable podcasts for some of the games as well so if you have any specific selections then let us know and we'll do it, assuming the full game is on YouTube, which many of them are.

Hope you guys enjoy this. Figured we might as well relive some happy memories during these not so happy times.

Banking/loan question

I posted this in the refinance thread but wanted to get some advice. We're trying to get a construction loan to finance a renovation on a house that we got through an estate. The one bank that isn't totally overwhelmed right now are saying we can't get a construction loan because we already bought the house. How do people finance major renovations if they can't get construction loans?

Sump Pump Noise

Up until last night we would hear our sump pump removing water from the pit but that was about all. Then, it seemed like out of nowhere, we would hear it run and then end with either a thud or a clanking noise. It seems to be running just fine.

We moved in last year in May so we never really heard it 'start up' for the Spring, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew what this could be or if anyone else experienced this.

Any information would be appreciated.
