Triple Point Brewing on Shoreham Street is sending its products across the country by courier, including a delivery in London, and offers local pick up from its beer garden.

The company bought in 5L and 10L bag-in-box for beers to sell alongside its cans.

Despite the changes, the firm has furloughed all but two of its employees. It celebrated its first birthday on March 13.

MD Mike Brook said: “We know the beer drinkers are still out there and they want fresh, interesting beers. We just had to find new and safe ways to reach them.

“We hope our new offer will help the bored and the thirsty through this difficult time and also help make sure we still have a brewery and bar for them to return to when this is all over.”

NHS workers get 20 per cent extra free, he added.

Head brewer Alex Barlow said: “As you can imagine the Coronavirus has thrown our industry quite a curveball. That said, we’ve made some drastic changes to the business. We’ll be producing a fresh batch of cans next week and we’re still developing our range, so at least three new beers will be going into cans over the next couple of months.”

Employing a social distancing protocol in the beer garden, Triple Point Brewery ‘click & collect’ pick-ups are available between 4–6pm Wednesday to Saturday.
