Pubgoers who enjoy takeaway pints are in for disappointment, as the government plans to ban the practice starting next month.
Introduced in 2020 to help struggling pubs stay afloat during lockdowns, takeaway alcohol sales were meant to be a temporary lifeline. But many pubs and punters grew fond of the takeaway pint, seeing it as an extra revenue stream and convenient option.
The British Beer and Pub Association criticised the decision for forcing pubs to go through "lengthy application and approval processes" just to continue selling takeaway drinks. The government has decided to call time on Covid-era licensing rules that made it easier for pubs in England and Wales to sell takeaway drinks.Under the pandemic rules, pubs with on-site alcohol licences could automatically offer takeaway alcohol too.
Government planning documents estimate between 8,500 and 12,800 pubs could opt to continue takeaway alcohol sales if permitted. However, the Home Office says there is a lack of "robust" data on actual demand.
