As restaurants begin to reopen, Taco Bell has brought back their breakfast menu at most locations across the U.S. The chain's breakfast menu includes a Breakfast Crunchwrap, Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato and hash browns.

7. CHICAGO TOWN'S COLLABORATION
Chicago Town has launched a pizza-inspired beer called ‘Show Me The Honey’ with flavours inspired by their new Sweet Honey BBQ Salami pizza.
