Looks like the UK thread has fallen back a few pages as it’s not been posted in for well over a year! Don’t think any admins pinned the UK one but the EU one is.
I don’t want to draw attention away from those threads as they still serve a purpose here, however I do wish to point out that I launched a dedicated website to serve as a directory of online bottleshops and breweries. You can visit it over at https://bottleshops.online
Advantages to this: fully searchable with many filters to narrow down the sort of shop you’re looking for; it’ll also show any international shops that ship to your country; it’s mobile friendly; lists shops worldwide not just the EU; reviews/ratings and links to external review sites where applicable; and importantly, I can list an unlimited number of shops there, whereas in the forums I’m limited by post size (the table formatting takes up a lot).
More than 96% of the 500+ bottleshops and 140+ breweries listed are independent, those that aren’t are clearly marked. For the foreseeable future it’s going to be the independent businesses that are severely affected by this so those are the ones we should look to support.
With that out the way, below is a link to the UK/IE bottleshop thread. As I’ve said there are far less shops listed here than the website (post size limits how many I can put) but it’s the best place for discussion. I’ll have a look in a bit and see if there’s any closed down that can be removed to make way for other shops.
Also @jjsint had a nice idea above, if people want to post updates for any local pubs and shops now offering delivery that would be lovely. If there’s enough we could perhaps make a new thread especially for them.
P.s. I’m aware the country dropdown on my website is taking a long time to load on first visit, looking into it now.
