Lidl have from today Marston's Pedigree Ashes Ale at 99p a 500ml bottle, 4.1ABV
"Tasting Notes: A very easy drinking, light-coloured pale ale, brewed to commemorate the return of the Ashes series and to spur on England's best. A sharp bitterness, is complemented with a slight lemon citrus aroma."
Not one for me by sound of it, but any port in a storm in hard times
5 bottles for a fiver at Lidl. Choose from :
Pedigree
Bishops Finger
Hobgoblin
Spitfire
As you all know I am not a fully paid up member of the real ale brigade but that sounds like a decent deal to me
In fact I have just trudged over in the snow and invested my fiver
I am a salmon !!
Asda are selling a decent range of bottled beers at £1 this week.
Apart from their own brand ones (brewed by Shepherd Neame) they also have the offer on :-
Fursty Ferret
Tanglefoot
Wychwood Goliath
Bishops Finger
Pedigree
Bombardier
Spitfire
plus a couple of others that I can't remember.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
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 is, even at £1 a pop, they're not shifting at my local branch, unfortunately.
