Beer at home means Holden's
A brewery has launched a "beer at home" service from five of its pubs in the Black Country, Shropshire and Staffordshire.
Holden's Brewery has created a new Beer@Home app available through the Apple app store and Google.
The service launches on Thursday and enables people to order and collect beer from the pubs.
Director Abi Kemp said that the Woodsetton business had been all set to launch the app on Tuesday before the new lockdown was announced.
Initially is prevented takeaway alcohol from pubs and Holden's faced having to scrap its plan.
"Fortunately the u-turn announced on Tuesday night was very happy news and meant we could get back on track. We got the technology last week and had trained staff so everything was in place," said Mrs Kemp.
The five managed pubs that will initially provide collection of bottles and draught beer in fridge pouches which will be available to buy.
Holden's is also talking to other breweries in the area about adding their beers to the service as well.
The pubs that will initially be involved are The New Inn, Birmingham New Road, Coseley; The Bell, Trysull; Codsall Station; The Golden Lion, Bridgnorth and The Robin Hood, Ironbridge.
The app will be rolled out to another four of the Holden's managed pubs and to those tenants that want to get involved in phase two.
The Holden's Brewery shop will also be open during the lockdown with click and collect orders available through its website.
