While many businesses have had to temporarily close the physical spaces where they usually allow people to gather, bars and restaurants are adapting quickly, since pubs like The Hatfield House know that people are already missing a properly poured pint of Guinness. While many bars are offering packs that can be purchased to recreate the bar experience at home, The Hatfield House is doing things differently by freshly pouring beer and delivering it to customers' doors.
The pub in Belfast, Northern Ireland, created a portable tap system in the back of a van and is serving the popular stout in a safe and sanitized way that supports social distancing. As novel as the service is, The Hatfield House refuses walkup orders to maintain the proper health and safety protocols.
