We had been running fortnightly ‘happy hours’ on Zoom for over a year, and had held several online tasting events in partnership with different craft breweries across England, so felt that the time was ripe for something more – our first in-person social! The easy option would have been to hire out a pub or bar and ask people to come along, but we felt that the first meeting needed to be something special for our members. Something to celebrate the end of lockdown, and the first time we had the opportunity to share a drink without involving a computer!
