Message Scopey P beers 24187 º places 727 º 06:08 Mon 3/27/2017 Visited Asda at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised on the recent improvement to their "craft" beer selection. I always felt Asda was the worst of the supermarket chains it terms of decent beer. Plenty of new cans from the likes of Harbour, Vocation, York, as well as bigger US breweries e.g. Victory, Anchor. Even got me a new Lagunitas ( 12th of Never), so can’t complain. Might be worth stopping past if there is one near you.

Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 08:17 Mon 3/27/2017 How on earth is Vocation making enough beer to supply Asda & Tesco? Maybe it’s a lot bigger than I thought? Even my local titchy Tesco stocks Vocation.

The brewery itself is pretty small so pretty amazing that they brew enough for Spoons, Aldi, etc.
