Register for Beer

Ummmmmm, OK.

Today, British prime minister Boris Johnson announced that England will finally allow pubs to reopen for limited service starting July 4—but beer-loving Brits may want to get a pen handy. As was hinted at over the weekend, the easing of restrictions will come with new guidelines requiring watering holes to collect the name and contact details of everyone who enters. Just one more reason to go to your local: They already know who you are.

But how exactly pubs will handle this contact details collection duty—especially during the initial surge they will inevitably see as patrons swarm to pubs after 15 weeks of closure on Saturday, July 4—isn’t clear. Johnson’s speech also didn’t offer up any details on how the government plans to “make this manageable.”

First reaction, I sense there'll be a lot of this:

AL BEEBAK
KEV ORKION
SEYMOUR BUTTZ
LOU CYPHER
HELEN BACH

Fake names.  Maybe these.  But countless others.  (and I was pretty tasteful with my selections)


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
