CAPE CORAL, Fla. 鈥� A Florida couple came up with a great way to meet their new neighbours after moving into their home during the coronavirus pandemic. They offered free beer.

Amanda and Thomas Evans decided to move from Fort Myers to nearby Cape Coral just before the pandemic started last year.

鈥淚t was a different experience I think than most first time homebuyers,鈥� Amanda Evans told ABC7 television station.

They were not sure when they would get to meet their new neighbours.

鈥淟uckily, we have a rescue dog that we walk around the block every day, so we met some people in passing," she said. 鈥淭ypically, you would bring people cookies or pie or invite them over for dinner, but we weren鈥檛 sure about how people were feeling,鈥� Amanda added.

Instead, they created a flyer:

鈥淗i, we鈥檙e new to the neighbourhood and would like to meet our lovely neighbours. We will be in our driveway with drinks, ready to meet any neighbours who would like to stop by. We can鈥檛 wait to meet you."

Her husband wasn't sure anyone would show up. But once the 鈥淔ree Beer鈥� sign was placed outside, the neighbours started venturing over.

鈥淚t鈥檚 always funny to see a sign on the table that says free beer, just to get people to stop and turn their head and drive by and say what did that sign just say. We had a few people do a double take, free beer is a pretty easy way to get people to show up,鈥� said Thomas Evans.

They say it's a great ice-breaker for anyone who is new to a neighbourhood.
