These are the Edinburgh pubs and breweries still selling beer or offering a take-out service

Lockdown is making many of us a bit thirsty for a beverage, but it can be a huge hassle queuing for ages at the shops, while supermarket delivery slots are rarer than hand sanitiser.

Worry not, though. The Edinburgh and South East Scotland Branch of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) is supporting local pubs and breweries by using their website to highlight those that are offering carry outs, deliveries or the like during the COVID-19 closures.

The Edinburgh Branch website at www.edinburghcamra.org.uk/covid19/ lists details of local breweries which are continuing to sell beer to the public.

And for those missing the atmosphere of a good old-fashioned boozer, CAMRA has opened the doors to its virtual pub so that drinkers can get together for a tipple or two while they stay at home and protect the NHS.

It is possible to have beer delivered across Edinburgh

Anyone can join the video platform The Red (On)Lion, which features a main bar area, for a drink and a chat by visiting www.theredonlion.co.uk.
