The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has launched an app that allows drinkers to order beer and cider online.
The Brew2You app provides a shop window for 300 pubs and breweries currently offering beer and cider through take-away or delivery services.
It has been endorsed by Cask Marque, the British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), and the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA).
CAMRA chairman, Nik Antona, said: “With the nation’s pubs closed for the foreseeable future, it is imperative that we do whatever we can to support these local businesses.
“The Brew2You app is a really easy way to get that beer out to customers. Many pubs and breweries are already offering take-away and delivery services during the lockdown, and this helps customers find locally-produced, quality brews with just a click of a button.
“The longer the lockdown lasts the harder hit our pubs and breweries will be and the more we risk many closing their doors for good. We urge beer and cider lovers to shop local and support the great beer and pubs trade using Brew2You so that we still have pubs and breweries at the other end of the crisis.”
