Rating based on my local Sunningdale store. Mid sized Waitrose but carries a decent enough selection of interesting beer. Always local options available and in the case of Sunningdale this equates to Ascot, Windsor & Eton and Rebellion. A few overseas beers available from Sierra Nevada, Nils Oscar and the likes. Service at the till is always good in Waitrose compared to other supermarket chains, pleasant staff and never much of a queue due to decent staffing levels.

Visited the Windsor store. Big selection of real ales both local and national - bottles you don’t see anywhere else. I had problems to pick just a few. very much worth a visit.

High quality supermarket selling excellent food, wine and beers. They have some more unusual beer brands for the UK e.g. Chimay, Sierra Nevada, Karmeliet, compared to the usual Tesco or Sainsburys. Also stock Thornbridge Jaipur & Kipling, Fullers, and the more usual UK beers (Youngs, Badger, Ringwood etc). its a good supermarket.

A really good Waitrose for beer. Has a solid selection, highlights including Fullers Vintage (2011), Sierra Nevada Torpedo, and a range of other less common British bottles of beer as well as cider. Prices are good. For me, this store is perfect for when my special lady wants to go to the other stores in the shopping centre; I just come here and kill time. And of course there’s a whole range of food items here. I might not call this place a beer destination, but it’s certainly a good place to pick up a few bottles.

New out of town supermarket with a great selection of bottled beers. Now that Peckham’s is in administration arguably the best beer store in Glasgow.

It’s a supermarket, and an expensive one at that, but it generally has a reasonable selection, including some more unusual Scottish and Belgian beers in the furthest aisle from the door. Probably worth a look if you’re passing.

A welcoming bright and open store with quite a good range of bottles beers to choose from, at least compared to what you usually find at Tescos and Sainsburys. The store’s selection is especially strong on English beers. We bought some interesting ones from Fullers, Ringwood, and Morland, among others. Opens at 8.30 in the morning. Recommended (visited early on 29.09.2010).

This review relates specifically to the Bloomsbury store - not all branches rank equally in terms of beer range or usefulness. Probably the best central London supermarket for visitors in terms of convenience and range. With the other supermarket chains you will usually have to travel some distance from the centre to find a full size store with the complete beer range. This one has pretty much the entire Waitrose range and, whilst you will not find too many rare gems, the selection is decent enough and the location handy.

So it’s a grocery store. So you can’t drink on-site. Well ... Every Waitrose I’ve been in has always had 50 or 80 different beers. Usually 5 or more are house brand - which is fun to track what they really are. One time I got Little Creatures. They often have brewer multipacks with all different ales. I added over 20 ticks from this store on my last vacation. Still trying to find out what Waitrose Czech Pilsner really is, or at least who brews it. This time I got the uncommon (in the US) Leffes and Kronenbourgs, plus a couple of Meantimes. Lots of the bottles are singles or multipacks that are all different. And the takeaway food is pretty good.
