Majestic Wine, some great deals on beer.

I buy most of my beer from Majestic Wine Warehouse because they are a lot cheaper than the supermarkets.

For example, tonight I bought a St Peter's ale collection box for £15. That's organic ale, golden ale, best bitter and ruby ale, 3 bottles of each. Really nice beer.

They've also got an offer on 2 x 12 bottles of London Pride for £30, ie: £1.25 per bottle.

Well worth a look.

St Peter's collection isn't online for some reason. £15 for 12 bottles anyway.

I took a look at the deals on line and they didnt seem nearly as good as "Home Bargains" or Netto. However I've sometimes be known to splash out on the 4 for £5 deal in Morrisons. The new Adnams Explorer is well worth a taste. Sometimes Asda do a heavily reduced beer, currently it is MEAN IPA at 78p (330ml) 4.8% ABV not as good as a few weeks ago they had Morelands Tanners Jack 500ml 4.4% ABV for 78p.
My... was my handbasket heavy. _party_

I'd also recommend Morrisons for beer.

Pretty much all of their beers/ales are 4 for £5 and there's normally a good selection with a couple of different "guest" beers every month.

I always go to Threshers for my bottled beers. They constantly have a wide selection on offer at 4 for £5 including Marston's Firestoker, Hobgoblin, and Fursty Ferret to name but a few. :beer:

Should be more places to buy from now too as they've just taken over all of the branches of Unwins.

at some point 1 or more of the supermarkets sell 24 bottles of bud, grolsch,becks ,carlsberg extra for about £12. case of 24 cans again from a supermarket shouldn't cost you much over £12 for a 'reasonable' lager. bitter is always more difficult aldi did ( possibly still do ) shipstones draught which was ok. boddingtons draught is sometimes on offer 24 cans for between £12 and £15
keep your eyes open in most of the major supermarkets...home and bargain did have boddingtons on offer

If you want good lager than I recommend Bitteburger or Pilsner Urquel from Majestic.
Bud, becks, carlsberg, carling etc is not good lager. Think fizzy washing up liquid, whereas proper German lager only has 4 ingredients by law.
The big supermarkets do do good deals on lagers occasionally.
Oranjeboom is cheap and quite nice (£3 for 4 cans at Tescos).

Ale wise
I also rate Badger Beers Tanglefoot (cheap in cans and a nice beer).
Fullers London Pride in bottles (Tescos had 4 for £5 offer)
