Almost every supermarket in the UK has a craft beer (and real ale) offering these days. From Aldi to Asda the selection is varied and often seasonally changing. Many of my most popular beer reviews are of beers you can readily find in your Big Tesco or local Lidl. Which makes sense to me! Not everyone goes into a craft bottle shop, but every has a little glance in the booze aisle on the weekly shop. Who knows, their could be something new or on offer!
Equally it can be quite a daunting vista when you are presented with 15 different IPAs, sours and stouts. So I thought I’d compile an index of all the craft beer and ale, you can currently find, in all the UK supermarkets and link them back to the review I’ve done on them. Naturally, this is a work in progress as I don’t want to break the bank (or my liver) all in one sitting but hopefully this will eventually become and easy one stop shop for all things supermarket craft beer and ale. If you have any suggestions or notice a missing beer please let me know!
