As of last weekend my local Lidl had six-packs of Belgian beers including Piraat and Gouden Draak for just £8.99...

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 drinks section of our local M&S and noticed that their bottled Cambridgeshire Summer Ale was brewed by the estimable Peterborough outfit. Bought a few, on a whim, and have to say it's lovely stuff with the usual citrus, hoppy hit associated with Oakham. Not particularly cheap, with it being M&S, but the quality's certainly there.

For anybody who has got access to a B&M store i can highly recommend a cheeky 5.1%er from the Barnsley Beer Co called Shut Thi Gob. Just finished off a couple and am glowing nicely. Either £1.29 or £1.39 a bottle.

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 (5%) at the same price.)

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.

Also, M&S are selling a 6.7% IPA brewed by Adnams @ £2.09. Will certainly try that and report back at some stage. (Didn't fancy lugging the bottles today).

For the past three or four weeks Tesco Extra in Edmonton have been selling Castle Rock Diamond Reign (4.1%) at £1.00 a bottle. It's a fairly bog-standard Pale Ale and certainly isn't my idea of a commemorative brew, but at a quid for 500ml (aka a typical short measure pint in a pub) you can't really complain. They must have grossly overestimated the demand for this as there always seems to be a stack of it on the shelf.

They also do Banks's bitter at a quid.

Larger ASDA branches do packs of 4x500ml cans of Banks's Mild for £3.44. It's surprising how good this is, I think they have used mixed gas in the tins.
