CBC NEWS: B.C. distilleries are lifting spirits by making free hand sanitizer

The owner of Monashee Spirits Craft Distillery has been delivering surface cleaner and ethanol sanitizer that he's made for people with compromised immune systems.

While tasting rooms and bars across the province are shuttering to meet social distancing requirements from the province, some B.C. distillers have found a new use for their alcohol — making hand sanitizer

"We're not an essential service at the end of it. We make alcohol for a living and this is just a teeny way that we can actually help and give back to our community," he said.
