Iāll keep an eye out for that. Thereās a Lidl , Aldi and ā Big Tesco ā all within walking distance. Some of the ā World Beersā selections at Tesco are quite interesting. After a few years supping IPA Iām drifting back to strong dark beers so Iām keen to stock up when available.
Variety is the spice of life, Iām getting bored of the strong American IPAās Iām trying some different stuff at the moment and really enjoying some of it.

I invested in a Perfect Draft beer machine from Beer Hawk, which is mostly excellent but I've become allergic to horrible beer, but its left me sticking to ordering the same few kegs I'm used to. I like brewdog, they have a nice IPA I get from time to time but they also have something called Elvis Juice, but the truth is, anything with the word juice in its name, is usually best avoided. I do love malty beer however, so might give it a go after reading your description above.

Elvis Juice is too sweet and grapefruity for me, my favourite of their's has always been Jackhammer, a little less grapefruit and more bitterness but I've not seen any for a while now.

Whilst working up in Perth this week I popped into Aldi to see what they had on offer and this dropped into my basket.
I was drawn to the Williams Bros logo which is usually a guarantee of a good beer, and this one didn't disappoint, 5% of malty loveliness with a not too mad hoppy bit as well.
I didn't notice the little bit on the back that said, 'Specially produced in Scotland for Aldi,' until I opened it tonight, now there's another one to add to my list when I'm up that way.
And I also bought a couple of bottles of Broughton's Old Jock, and Williams Bros Joker IPA.

Sounds like a nice list, apart from the Joker IPA. Not exactly sure why, but I've gone right off that stuff.
I've just opened one of them, shame that they only have very restricted collection hours as I'm usually near Falkirk once every couple of months or so.
I do prefer cans of Double Joker though, I just wish Tesco would stock it south of the border as well, although it's probably a blessing in disguise that they don't. š
Thank you for your sterling work in beer tasting these supermarket specials šŗšŗš
