A brewery has launched a drive-thru service for customers seeking to replenish their beer supplies during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Castle Rock Brewery in Nottingham allows customers to pre-order beer online and then arrange a time to pick up their selection.
Customers drive up to the collection point where a member of staff will place the order into the back of their car.

Customers had to order their beer in advance and arrange a time for collection so all the items were ready
Members of staff load the cars as they arrive at the brewery without interacting with the customers
Staff had plenty of hand sanitiser ready at the collection point to protect themselves from the virus
According to the brewery’s website: ‘After careful consideration, we’ve decided to trial a collection only drive-thru based at our brewery. To start with, we’re offering a small range of Castle Rock beer to takeaway in 5L, 10L or 20L polypins, along with cases of Elsie Mo, Screech Owl and Harvest Pale bottles and 5L mini-kegs of Session.
‘We’ve undertaken a thorough risk assessment and feel we’re put procedures in place to minimise the risks.
‘Due to the constantly changing nature of this situation, we may need to amend or even suspend this service at short notice – so please enjoy and hopefully we can keep it going!’
The brewery is one of many firms in Britain seeking innovative ways of keeping going during the crisis

Customers provided their details in advance so staff knew which order was destined for which car
