In USA Today, Amber Gibson writes “These craft distillers are hospitality heroes, selflessly stepping up to the plate to help save our country from COVID-19 at a time when they are in imminent danger of going out of business. With the raw materials needed already on hand, they’re racing to make alcohol-based sanitizers for their colleagues, first responders and community.”
“New Deal Distillery in Portland, Oregon is being contracted for pay to make hundreds of gallons of hand sanitizer for Portland General Electric’s 12 line stations in the Portland Metro Area.”
Interviewed for the article, New Deal owner and distiller, Tom Burkleaux said, “Even though this is an extremely difficult time for our business, it feels good to use our expertise to help anyone working hard to keep people safe during this pandemic.”
