Let's face it, lockdown 2.0 has been a whole different ball game. And while beach picnics and garden BBQs may be off the cards, we're still willing to don our biggest coat and venture out in search of one of life's greatest pleasures - a freshly poured pint. From cosy pubs offering click and collect service to independent bottle shops, theses are the places to get takeaway pints in Brighton. 2020 may just be saved after all…
🍻🍻🍻
UnBarred Brewery
Keen to get your lips around some of Brighton’s most popular craft sips? You’ll need to head to UnBarred Brewery on London Road. An independent business, these guys are all about the attention to detail, treating all stages of the craft with the utmost respect and care. The result? Their cans, kegs and bottles are some of the best on the South Coast. And while they temporarily shut their doors again, there online shop is still thriving, with the option to have beer delivered to your door, or to click and collect your very own mini keg.
Promising service with a smile, UnBarred Brewery never disappoints.
Bison Beer
Located in the heart of Hove, Bison Beer’s bottle shop and bar boasts an impressive line-up of rotating craft brews, cask lines and local wines. Trading via their online outlet since the start of lockdown, the guys here have recently launched their very own takeaway service. Shimmy on down to Church Road to stock up on your favourite sips, with the shop open between 12pm and 9pm Thursday to Saturday, and 12pm and 7pm every Sunday throughout lockdown.
Golden nectar, just waiting to be poured.
Village
Bringing quaint countryside vibes to the heart of buzzing Brighton, Village is a gold-standard boozer. Looking to lift up local food and drink vendors in the time they’re struggling, this watering hole has now partnered with The Blue Man, offering mouthwatering plates of Algerian cuisine to collect and enjoy at home. And to wash it down? There are takeaway pints on offer along with a warming mugs of mulled wine, perfect for a blustery beach stroll. 
Your weekly food shop never did taste so good.
The Duke of Wellington
While not technically a Brighton boozer, we reckon The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham is worth making the journey for. This independent pub has swung into action for lockdown, offering both an online delivery and in-person click and collect service. A one-stop shop for your weekend antics, the pub is selling bar snacks, wine and a huge selection of cask and keg beers as well as over 30 different craft cans, all at bargain prices.
BYOB to be filled with freshly poured beer.
