Bargainwatch: Flying Dog, BrewDog, Grimbergen and more at Tesco

Looks like Tesco might be a good place to head for to find some decent bottled beer bargains at the moment. I’ve just come back from a weekly shop with a bag full of bottles, and while I was there I scribbled down a few of the more interesting offers, which included:

  • 3 for £4 on various beers including Grimbergen Blonde, Grimbergen Dubbel and Innis & Gunn Original Oak Aged Ale [Baron, you want to get yourself on the motorway down to Tesco in Prestwich, mate… :)

    Edit from Ed – The two Flying Dog offerings have been further reduced to half price, so I just emptied the shelf of my local of the Classic Pale Ale. At 88p each it would have been just wrong to leave them there.

    My hangovers this week have been sponsored by Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter. And the four bottles of Punk I bought as ‘just-in-case’ beers disappeared in little over an hour.

    Gonzo is a lovely drop – it’s my go-to for when I fancy something with a bit of bite and bags of flavour but can’t be arsed to take notes on something new.

    You should take shorter notes then so it’s not a burden ;)
    That’s one of the reasons for my 140-character twitterable reviews as well as the fact that I’m still learning about the features of beer & so wouldn’t be able to describe it better if I had more words!

    How about getting into audio reviews like some of the ‘baron ratings’?

    You know, I think I probably have enough trouble trying to find time to rattle off a quick blog post these days – I think if I started trying to do audio as well I’d just be finding more excuses to be too busy to blog. I’ll leave it to the experts… :)
