We have the World's worst Morrisons* 400m from home. Asda, Lidl, Tesco Express, Iceland and Co-op Local within a mile (ish). Sainsburys, Aldi, M & S, another Co-op Local, bigger Tescos** within 5 miles.

* Our local supermarket is pants. Constantly under staffed. Poor choice of stock compares to other Morrisons in the area. I pray most weeks that they sell it to Waitrose. Our only reachable Waitrose (5 miles) closed last year and became yet another Lidl.

** I'd guess we have 6 or 7 very large Tesco stores within 10 miles.

We’ve got Tesco, 2x Lidl, Aldi, Farmfoods and 2x Co-op all about 7 miles away. Go out to 10 miles and you can add a ScotMid, but I’m not sure why you’d want to. Sainsbury, John Lewis, M&S etc reserved for big city. Waitrose reserved for Central Belt.

My nearest big town has all the mainstream supermarkets the nearest of which is a Tesco at about 20 minutes drive (9 or 10 miles) but I prefer not to shop there if at all possible so I tend to drive to one of the others - usually Asda or Morrisons. In our village we have the community shop and in two of the neighbouring villages (few minutes drive) there is a Co-op - one medium sized one more of a village shop size. None of those are particularly great for buying beer though!

Up to twenty now
1 keg - Beavertown Neckoil. ( pub had no cask beers but 5 hand pumps. All empty) big disappointment.
1 bottle of lucky saint zero alcohol lager. As good as most normal strength lagers in my opinion.

Last night an impromptu visit to the local, very pleasant hour or so.

Idaho American Pale Ale, 4.2%, Poynton Brewety. Very local 4 maybe 5 miles away,not bad but they do Brew beers on a theme and this could be one of 4 or 5 they do.

Daily Bread Bitter, 3.8% Abbeydale, Sheffield, basically an old fashioned bitter, fruity, slightly sweet, slightly malty bitter. Could have had a lot more than just 1 but the OH has to be a witness at court today.

Here's a view of my local. I should have moved the hand sanitizer.

About This Thread

Maintained by Ocelot Spleens
and here we are in 2024....

I still really like a pint.

I think this is not too controversial health wise. Lots of beers about these days. I interpret it as different beers within 2023, and you can, if you like; avoid beers you have had before, but as ever the list is yours to do what you like.
