Not as sorry as I am. I'm even starting to go off bacon. Which is just weird.

Bought a few bottles yesterday, wasn’t that keen on it, nowhere near as good as Wainwrights which is 29p a bottle more in Lidl.

It’s funny you mention that, it’s normally very good, it’s all we use, but this recent batch has been the same, bloody awful.

Not in the special buys section, the italian style sodas are back in

Orange / blood orange / lemon and mint

I say this every time but they're pretty good and the lemon/mint is a good for really basic mojito with some rum

I didn't spot that 'business as usual' IPA in Aldi today... they did however have tons of beer stocked. Some quick googling suggests ALDI have bought a ton of beers off local brewers to resale. Bought myself some warsteiner as I couldn't see reinbacher in cans.

Wild Gravity (330ml) from Bad Co - £1.49
Business as Usual (500ml) from Derby Brewery - £1.49
Shelby (330ml) from Thornbridge - £1.49
Snake Oil (330ml) from West Berkshire Brewery - £1.49
Brewgooder Moyo Juice (330ml) from Brewgooder - £1.49
Puffin Tears (330ml) from Harbour Brewery - £1.49
Dartmoor Jail Ale (500ml) from Dartmoor Brewery - £1.49
Old Hooky (500ml) from Hook Norton Brewery - £1.49

That's good value. 660ml bottles are 3 for a fiver in Tesco. So Aldi are charging £8.99 for Tesco's £10 volume.

Tried the online shop today due to the ten day prison sentence. Only two beers available, the Moretti copy and the one in the blue can. Ended up getting Deliveroo from One-Stop. Shame as I could have done a decent order.
