Liverpool city pub finds way to serve cold beer to thirsty customers during lockdown

If there’s one thing many people are missing while lockdown continues, it’s a trip to the pub.

With restrictions still in place to help stop the spread of coronavirus, pubs aren’t yet allowed to open and let customers inside.

But now a Liverpool pub has launched a new service, that means customers can come and buy beers to takeaway and enjoy.

Hobo Kiosk, on Bridgewater Street in the Baltic Triangle, is offering "off-sales" by appointment only on Wednesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 6pm.

Customers can’t simply turn up. In order to buy drinks, you need to DM Hobo Kiosk via Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to arrange a time to head down and purchase your beers.

To help keep everyone safe, the team will only be serving one customer at a time, with strict social distancing in place, contactless payments only, and service from the pub doorway. Customers are also asked to bring their own bag.

The service launched this week with special introductory offers including 440ml cans at £4.50 each or five for £20. Beers available include a hazelnut chocolate vanilla porter, blueberry wheat ale and Hobo draft in a bottle.

In a message on its Facebook page, Hobo Kiosk said: “Hope to see you all soon, from a distance, we can shout hello and ask each other how we're doing!”
