WC Fields once said, “everyone’s got to believe in something, I believe I will have another beer," and we couldn’t agree more. Over the past year, with the Covid-19 virus not letting up, we have tried to become our favorite bartenders at home. The current nationwide lockdown has got us to switch up our after-work pints at the pub to popping open a can of beer at home and sipping those homemade cocktails. While pubs and bars remain closed for a few more months here’s how you can still have your preferred brew at home. 

These alcohol delivery services will deliver straight to your doorstep when you’re craving a particular craft brew or need to restock your bar. 

1. Booze Up

Name the brand, and Booze Up has them all. There are popular spirits including Absolut, Smirnoff, Bells Whisky, Budweiser, Corona, Moet & Chandon, and Gordons to name a few. Order your favorite mixers (juices, drinks, water) and stock up on chips and other snacks for when the late-night cravings hit.

2. Drinks House 247

If you’re looking for a quick fix, then Drinks House 247 should be your ideal choice. Sporting a portfolio from some of our favorite brands to newer craft brands you can explore, Drink House 247 offers a 30 minute delivery around London. They also follow a strict contactless delivery policy, where they drop your goodies at your doorstep for you to pick up. So if you’re suddenly craving a G&T or a bold Malbec and don’t have it in stock at home, you know what to do.

Along with a wide range of offerings, The Bottle Club also stocks a range of barware that you can order to better your at-home bar collection.
