I don't even live in GB, but this makes me weep!

Setting aside the serious consequences of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic – loss of life, economic hardship, rising authoritarianism, and blissfully clear roads – there is a lesser but still troubling development.

On Friday, the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) let it be known that as many as 70 million pints of British beer will have to be destroyed due to the outbreak.

For every crisis there are unintended consequences. This one is heartbreaking.

(Do I need to put a smilie on this?)

At least it wasn't German beer, that would have been a real disaster!

Conversely, it could never happen with American beer, because how could you ever tell it was going bad?

Most American beers have a shelf life of 6 months ... long enough to survive the CoVid-19 vacation.

As a self-appointed tester I will keep you folks informed of quality standards. :)

German innovation.

Unfortunately I live in Canada so I can't partake.

Raise your hand if you've been drunk the entire month of Mapril.
