14th Star’s Hospitality Industry Appreciation Card

First and foremost, to all the servers, bartenders, dishwashers, front of house, cooks, kitchen teams, hosts, brewers, packaging teams and planners, we raise a pint. Along with all the others who make our industry roll, we raise a second.

Hospitality professionals, including makers of beverages, create a large ecosystem of passionate workers here locally around our brewery in St. Albans, and across the state, including every town and corner within our landscape. Making up one of the largest workforces, the hard-working folks that drive this industry alongside us are passionate, kind, patient and persistent to their craft.

One of the hardest hit industries during the COVID-19 pandemic, we still find ourselves dealing with a new landscape we all have to manage. Now with new challenges we all need to maneuver to keep our lives moving forward, along with our businesses. Heading in every day with the purpose to serve others requires selflessness, and commitment to create atmospheres and open spaces that are welcoming to all. To keep a brewery running during a time when the vast majority of our partners who operate within the hospitality industry were closed and unemployed was a moment in time we will always remember, more so for all our friends and family who had no place to go.


We kept brewing beer, and you all kept your heads up, and when the opportunity came back to get into the swing of things again, you all came back ready to serve again.


Our industry is critical to the state’s makeup, and all of us play an important part in keeping our economy rolling ahead, as the hospitality industry is the engine and main attraction to drive guests here to all pockets of our state. Although we live in smaller bubbles at times, our industry is vibrant and diverse.

Our new Industry Thank You Card is to remind you we all belong to something bigger, and that we care about your commitment to this industry. These perks are small in the grand scheme of life, but they will grow over time as we find ways to give back to you all. So, stay connected on ways we can gather and raise a pint alongside you in our Taproom.

Starting immediately on Tuesday nights from 4-10 find a fresh beer on feature waiting for you as a thank you, and consider visiting another place in town to spread the love. If you have any desire to collaborate within your establishment to celebrate fellow hospitality industry folks in your town, look no further as we would be honored to join you and support that.

These cards will grow, and so will our plan to use them for the better of our industry, to bring us all together, and to share some good energy across the state at bars and restaurants, and our space here in St. Albans.
