Covid-19 Update
This update will be split up into 2 key parts: The Brewery and The Taproom. Both require their own personal response and we want to make sure the measures we’re taking for both aspects of our business are understood clearly.
The Brewery
It goes without saying, this is a situation no one wants to be in. We’re in unprecedented times and the status of our industry in particular is in constant flux. As well as continuing to follow all of the governments guidelines, we’re doing everything we can to maintain some semblance of “business as usual” whilst keeping our customers and our incredible team safe during this period.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we want to make sure you can still enjoy your Glen Affric fix from the comfort of your own home!
Starting immediately, we’re offering on our online store:
- 25% OFF all orders! (Using code: LOCHDOWN25 at checkout)
- FREE “Door-To-Door” delivery to the Wirral & Liverpool* (select in the delivery drop down menu at checkout)
- Each order is fully sanitised before being packed & shipped
- Special new beer releases coming this week, including our full Spring 2020 Barrel Aged series!
*if in doubt about delivery area, contact us for confirmation on your specific address
All our online orders ship with DHL and have always offered the option for your packages to be left in a safe place. We encourage you to take advantage of this option in order to limit contact (for both you and your couriers safety)
The Taproom
We want to let everyone know that the taproom will be open as usual and we are closely monitoring the situation and following all government / NHS advice.
We have a bar which has a max capacity of 50 people so are classed as a low-risk establishment but we have decided to put the following measures in place with immediate effect to help ensure the safety of our customers and staff during this time:
For the safety of all our customers and our team, please ensure you are fit and healthy before you visit us. If you're feeling at all unwell, please refrain from coming into the taproom. If you need your beer fix, please jump onto our online store where we're offering 25% OFF - Code: LOCHDOWN25
Take care of yourself and we look forward to welcoming you back once you're in top form, fit and healthy!
Until further notice, we'll be highly encouraging card/contactless payment's where possible to minimise the risk of transmission from handling money, which has proven to be the quickest way to spread Covid-19.
Alongside this, we will be increasing our cleaning of touch point surfaces such as card machines, door handles, tables and bar top to limit cross contamination risks.
All staff will be asked to wash their hands as per the NHS guidelines before beginning their shift, following breaks or handling cash.
Our team will not handle glassware at the rim during service or glass collection from tables. Hands will be washed thoroughly as per the NHS guidelines after collecting glasses and loading the glass washer as well as having disposable latex gloves available on site as an extra precautionary measure for collection during peak times.
Any staff feeling unwell or not 100% will be asked to remain at home as a precautionary measure.
Brewery Tours will still be going ahead as planned. Please ensure that you are fit and healthy to attend. If you are booked on a tour but feel unwell at any point leading up to your tour date, please refrain from coming to the brewery and email: tours@glenaffricbrewery.com to rearrange your scheduled tour date.
We understand this is a very challenging time and thank you in advance for your understanding and support in these trying times.
The support we have received from the local community over the last 2 years has been incredible and we want to thank you for sticking with us through the immediate uncertainty.
To say thank you for your continued support, we're offering 25% off ALL takeout cans bought directly from the taproom, including beers & soft drinks.
