The competition between West Yorkshire brewers, desperate for your business, is proving very fierce. I recently ordered 5 cases (8 x 500 ml) from Saltaire Brewery for £65 (1.63 a bottle), including...

Isn't it just. However, every time I buy some it's tinged with guilt, because I know it doesn't help the cause of local pubs.

Not sure if this offer is being rolled out nationwide, (I suspect not), but my local Asda is knocking out 500ml bottles of Saltaire Citra for £1.67 a pop, or 4 for £6.00. This one really is very...

I got the info from an Aldi leaflet, which would suggest it's a national list. If memory serves me well, I think the Old Empire may be one of their (semi?) regular beers. In either case, four in one...

From today, Aldi are knocking out sixteen different bottled beers, all at £1.29 for 500ml. Some are are a little ho-hum, but included amongst them is Oakham Inferno, which I'll definitely be keeping...

The fragrant Mrs a&h nipped into our local store tonight for a few bits and bobs. She was under strict instructions to grab some, but there was nary a bottle in sight. Bugger.

No doubt because of the world cup looming Asda have upped their 3 for £5 offer to 4 for £5.

I knew someone else had been waxing lyrical about Adnams and suspected it was you. Would love to try Mosaic on cask, if it's fresh it must be superb. Agree with your point about Adnams, they really...

I'm not a huge fan of bottled beer, much preferring a pint in the pub. However, this latest offering from M&S is excellent. Brewed by Adnams, under their Jack Brand arm, it's a wonderfully aromatic...

As part of their Burns Night promotion, Aldi have two beers on special offer from respected Scottish brewer Williams Brothers. Fraoch Heather Ale (5%ABV) and Chieftain Pale Ale (4%ABV). Both are...

They're obviously rolling this out nationwide, as it's been upped from three to four for a fiver at my local store. Stocked up on McEwans Champion Ale, incredible value at that price.

I was thinking of my local Asda in particular. I won't be seeing anything from Ilkley, Acorn etc until late Jan/ early Feb, until the increasingly discounted Christmas stock has disappeared. Will...

You can tell the siege of Christmas is nearly upon us as the supermarkets don't renew the stocks of beers from interesting local micros. Rather they concentrate on those from the national and large...

Never had the pleasure in its bottled form, but on draught it's a nice drop. Worth a punt at that price.

I like Booths, but it's a real pain that the nearest one to me is in Ilkley. Will have to sort out a day's walking in the Dales and call in on the way back.

Finally managed to get my hands on a bottle of this rediscovered barley wine and have to say it's slightly disappointing. It's not unpleasant, just not particularly exciting. As Oh Good Ale says in...

Don't know if this applies nationally, but my local Asda has re-started the '4 for £5' offer, after a hiatus of several years. They also appear to be showcasing local beers a lot more - upmarket...

'Beers set to roll out in the stores include Horizon from Wadworth Brewery, Lemon Head from Nethergate Brewery, Manchester Star Ale from JW Lees, 99 Red Baboons from Blue Monkey Brewing and Double...

Not sure if this applies to all branches of Sainsburys, or just Wakefield (Trinity Walk), but they were selling 660ml bottles of Brewdog Punk IPA for £2.49, which struck me as pretty reasonable.

I seem to recall that some forum members are fans of the highly regarded festive beer Bateman's Rosey Nosey (4.8%). Aldi are now knocking it out at £1.39 per 500ml bottle. (Also Wychwood Bah Humbug...

Possibly one for Thuck Phat, Bucking Fastard and other Oakham fans. It's maybe a bit late in the day to be recommending a summer beer (due to limited availability), but I was pottering around the...

Oooh, yes please. Will definitely get some at that price. Thanks for the heads up.

Got some in today. Never tried it before, so looking forward to it.

My guess is they won't bring it back until they've shifted all that excess Christmas stock. Beers like Spitfire are the sort of thing that relatives think their nearest and dearest will want. Trouble...

:D Well yes.

I think it was 'runningdog' who got me into 'Triple'. A real batten down the hatches and snuggle next to the fire cockle warmer if ever there was one.
