Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 05:43 Sat 6/3/2017 Aldi (England) are having a Summer Beer Festival: 16 different bottles from 16 different breweries. 8 are new to me (bought them this morning). N Ireland, Wales and Scotland represented, the other 13 being English. Some decent twigs for those of us who can’t afford Wine infused Barrel Aged Barley Imperial Baltic Triple Truffle Porters every day. <*))))))><

The Oakham Inferno is a good deal at £1.29 but I wouldn’t bother with the rest though, way too mediocre, life is too short to drink crap beer just because it is cheap!
Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 10:17 Mon 6/5/2017 8 rates for me. Can’t turn that down.
Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 12:35 Mon 6/5/2017 Well Aldi was a complete surprise. I’ve picked up 17 new to me beers for £20. That’s a turn up for the books. In Bermondsey you can get sometimes only get 4 new beers for the same money. They’ll be something I will like in that bunch I know. In fact the Moorhouse Pride of Pendle is an excellent bitter in a bottle.

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 03:15 Thu 6/8/2017 The summer beer festival beers from Aldi i thought were decent enough. But the Harpers beers brewed by Marstons Wychwood etc are awful.

Message BeardedAvenger P beers 7319 º places 596 º 08:07 Thu 6/8/2017 I’ve been reading this thread with interest because a lot of the supermarkets on the Surrey/Hants borders seem to be bucking the trend. However nipped to ASDA in Farnborough to get my offering for a booze trolley and ended up buying 12 mixed cans, plus a couple of bottles. Brew York, Vocation, Stone, Founders, Harpoon amongst others.
