On the hunt for the best beer subscription box, for picnics in the park or otherwise? We reveal the best beer subscription services in the UK - (yep, including beer subscription free trials).

Cast your minds back to March 2020 - the beginning of the pandemic. What were you buying? Pasta, probably. Pasta sauce, perhaps - even though you always make your own from scratch? And toilet roll, most definitely. If you could get your hands on it. Why everyone went so wild for it despite a weakened bladder not being a Coronavirus symptom remains one of life’s greatest mysteries.

We then went skincare crazy, investing in luxurious new moisturisers, transformative face exfoliators and fake tans to make ourselves feel a tiny bit better about having to stay indoors. If we couldn’t party, we’d pamper; at-home beauty sales went through the roof. More recently, the best summer dresses, products to survive the heatwave and the best after sun to soothe sunburn have been among the most shopped for, as we venture more and more outside. And alcohol. ALL the alcohol, of course, for the copious amounts of BBQs we're all having.

It's no surprise that summer = more alcohol sales - good weather means more excuses to meet friends in the park for a cheeky bev or two. Whether you’re a gin guzzler, a wannabe wine connoisseur or a cider super-fan, our favourite tipples have got us through the worst of times and we're not about to let them go. No shame. We’ve stuck to that daily glass of Rosé like a religion.

Luckily, since it’s summer 2021, you can get just about every beverage delivered directly to your door without facing the wrath of the supermarket (or heat of your car, for that matter). Thanks, alcohol delivery services. And beer is no exception. Experiencing something of a renaissance thanks to the glorious sunshine, our new-found obsession with picnics, and the fact we just really love a pint, beer is back with a bang.
