Beers at Home during the Covid-19 Lockdowns |
I’m about to say the obvious. But I’m sure I’m not the only person to say that this has been a very trying year for the entire world and human society in general. Being restricted to our homes and not allowed to get near, much less touch, our fellow human beings has severely affected the mental health and happiness of so many people. The economy has been devastated as well, with most businesses having to resort to online trading only. And of course there is the complete closure of entertainment and hospitality.
Just when we figured we were all going to transmogrify into asocial asexual troglodytes, there finally appears to be a cautiously flickering light at the end of the tunnel. So hopefully, hopefully, starting with the slow opening of beer gardens and nonessential shops, we will soon be allowed to act as free humans again. Of course we can’t help trodding carefully through these pre-freedom days, weeks, and months -- but I’m finally starting to feel more confident that one day I will once again be able to visit new pubs, which will spawn the rebirth of these web columns.
In the meantime, as I’ve been having at least one can of beer at home every night, I've been adding more and more entries to my Bottled and Canned Beer page. So check it out here. And stay tuned for more real live pub reviews!
