It’s not a supermarket, but my local Bargain Booze is currently selling Colt 45. It may be your only chance in the UK to tick off the fabled "malt liquor" style, and at a mere £1 for a can!

Although not owned by the same company, I believe the Rhythm & Booze chain share the same supply chain as Bargain Booze, so you might want to try there if you haven’t got a Bargain Booze locally.

Incidentally, they’re also selling Point beers and Coopers on the cheap, about £1 a bottle I think.

That sounds a tasty beer from the reviews. I’m glad to hear it’s got a "historic affiliation with Billy Dee Williams" (??!)

Thanks for the info though, have never plucked up the courage to go in one of these classy-looking establishments on the rare occasions I’ve seen them, but on the basis of your info I might be tempted to have a quick peek if I ever pass one again.

Bloody hell, I’ve just checked and there’s one within half a mile of my house that I didn’t know existed.

I go to rythm and booze whenever I visit the family back in yorkshire. Great for cheap ticks from US, Canada and some rareties from Africa.

Seems like they are all marstons. Maybe its a marstons brand rather thsn tesco.

The existing ’revisionist’ Marstons beers are currently under Banks’ brewing. Except for the California Common which has been entered (twice) under Marstons...
