Local is still going strong, cooking roast dinners 6 days a week and delivering them locally. I'd imagine the ones that'll last probably have some similar scheme or other going on.

Fucking hell that seems a bit much, no? 8 months with no boozer?

Pretty much.

Half the countries in Europe will be re-opening pubs in some form in the next 3 weeks for fuck sake.

Seriously how are people still even alive without being able to drink a shitload of poison in a stuffy, loud room? I don't know how everyone has survived, frankly.

Can't go to the pub to watch snooker, so drinking homebrew while playing Snooker 19, cheers.

Used more of the yeast for baking bread than for making beer tbh. Going to get some bread on today as well. Lavender and honey bread. Goes well with goat's cheese.
