The employees of Amsterdam Brewery on Esandar Drive are remembering their dear friend and “office guru” Alyse McConnell who died recently from the complications of COVID-19. Alyse was an otherwise healthy woman in her 40s and a wife and mom when she was unaccountably stricken. She had worked in Customer Service since 2012 and had a knowledge of the firm that won her that affectionate guru nickname. Alyse was a master at cooking pancakes and bacon for employee brunches and did so with pride. She is seen above with some of her pals.
