Maybe our 60th

Welcome to brewery De Halve Maan

Our story goes all the way back to 1856. Six generations later, De Halve Maan is still a vibrant brewery true to its origin of authentic beers.

don't drink 4 of the 10.5% ones in one night unless you want a headache!

Absolutely true
What a nice strong choice

New Belgian style beer from Adnums, Its Called Deep Seas, it tastes great, Amber in colour and 6.7% ABV
My neighbour's presented me with 8 cans for looking after their pets whilst they were away, and being a lover of some of The Adnums Brewery Beers in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by this new arrival.
I think its only available on-line or in one of their shops, as I have never seen it in any supermarket as yet.
Hope you all get a chance to try it soon, see below link.

Just had an offer come by email for Williams Brothers, a Falkirk brewer who sell through Aldi but only in Scotland as far as I have found

Enjoyed a few with Steve TheAleMan last year on ‘our’ Scottish beach site

It’s only 10% and delivery is £10 but free delivery helps and @£1.90 / 500ml bottle they haven’t joined the recent price increases my supermarket has done lately

Online Shop

I think the discount will be applied automatically but just check, I really like their pale ales and typically around 5% make a nice drink

48 bottles delivered for £92 will be part of my hydration for my radio therapy starting next week

Tasted like hslf decent homebrew.

Sadly I agree with you , typically the same for most Scottish beer I have tried, which is why the Williams beers I djscovered last year were so well received

Hi David. Not a bad deal at all. Have had all of those and can vouch for all 4. The bottom one Fraoch is a heather beer from memory and it’s very nice and certainly different.

Mmmm, I'll check my local Aldi...

Shame that they have stopped selling St Austell's Proper Job - my favourite IPA.

Hi Garry. Got this last lot from Tesco, but Lidl did have some too end of last week. £1.89 in both stores.

 

[garry55]

Hasn't been any Proper Job in our local Lidl store in Whitby for the past 4 months or so
Nearest Tesco is in Scarboghorror.

It’s like our local Tesco store has stopped stocking Old Peculiar, another favourite tipple of ours. Can’t understand why tbh

 

[jockaneezer]

Been getting Proper Job IPA from our local Aldi, but didn't notice any this last visit, so got some of this from Brewdog, but got confused with the label (the power of marketing eh ?) so don't know how much it cost, but it's very nice !

Shame that they have stopped selling St Austell's Proper Job - my favourite IPA.

They have it in Aldi every Tuesday when I do the shopping. Their Harpers IPA (A Proper Hoppy IPA), is an extremely close contender to Proper Job.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[garry55]

I will have a ride up to our local Aldi tomorrow and see if I can score a dozen bottles of Proper Job, or failing that, I'll try the Harpers.
I am, however, taking a shining to Lidl's Hatherwood IPA now.

I'll pick up some of that tomorrow, when I call in to pick up my breakfast baguette.

I really used to like their Amber Ale, but they stopped doing it for some reason. It was always popular.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[orridge]

Where do you get it from now?

Most supermarkets will have it, Sainsbury’s definitely stock it.

 

[JockandRita]

Just back from town. 2 x Aldi stores have no Proper Job left, but the ticket is still on the shelf, so must be continuing with it.
Lidl's shelf on the other hand, was absolutely of the stuff.
I did pick up a bottle of the Hatherwood IPA to try.

Cheers,

Jock.

[garry55]

Yay!

The last 11 bottles of Proper Job removed from Aldi's shelf
Also bought a couple of bottles of Harpers IPA to try too.

 

[JockandRita]

I did pick up a bottle of the Hatherwood IPA to try.

I couldn't drink half a dozen pints of most IPAs, but often enjoy a couple, and I have to say this one from Lidl is nce and crisp, very pleasant, and very refreshing indeed.

Though if I am to be honest and turn my glass round, I do love Caledonian's offerings of IPA but I can't seem to get it anywhere down here.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[garry55]

Glad you enjoyed it!

 

[Peavy]

I have the same point of view

 

[Wonders]

Been to our Aldi.
Only had half the Oktoberfest offering but also got the proper IPAs to try.
Thanks to BobJayne and garry55 for the pointers.Looking forward to having them.
Cheers
Chris
