During times of crisis, what could be more British than dulling the pain with some good booze?
This is an attempt to list some of the local breweries, bars and off-licences delivering drinks to the M34 postcode (Dane Bank, Manchester) whilst we are socially distancing — obviously most of them will be delivering to other places in Manchester.
This is mainly beer at the moment, if there are some good local wine distributors delivering to homes, I’m more than happy to add them (as so far we’ve been using Laithwaite’s and Majestic).
