Samuel Smith, Yorkshire’s oldest brewery, is keeping locals happy and business alive by delivering beer to residents in a horse-drawn cart during the Covid-19 lockdown in England.
The brewery, established in 1758, has its own stables close to the site and set up the traditional-style delivery service 15 years ago with their Shire horses usually making the rounds to deliver barrels to pubs in the area.
With venues closed to curb the spread of the coronavirus, they are now running the home delivery service for residents in Tadcaster and Stutton in North Yorkshire.
The service had initially been started as a way to keep the horses fit and healthy during lockdown, but it has quickly become a welcome sight on residential streets!
Of course, care is taken to ensure Covid-19 protocol is adhered to. Customers are asked to stay two metres away from the cart while bottles of beer – sold in packs of 12 – are placed on doorsteps.
