Last week at work I drove through Preston & saw a Booths supermarket.   I made a mental note to call in for some lunch & get a few nice bottles for home.   There were some of the usual decent quality beers at a low price, but I thought I'd treat myself & only get beers that I know are truly awesome - wow beers.

It got me thinking: could I buy 6 beers of better quality in any other supermarket in the UKⁱ?   I suspect not.

If you look at their website, they don't even mention their beer range!   Its the best in the UK as far as I can see & they don't mention it once!

Hawkshead Lakeland Gold - a great, clean tasting golden ale where you can really taste the Cascadeⁱ hops.

Fyne Ales Avalanche - a really strong floral Grapefruit / lemon citrussy hop flavour in another clean tasting beer.

Ulverston Another Fine Mess - a bottle conditioned golden ale with a subtle honey & elderflower taste.

Harviestoun Shiehallion - a crossover beer to appeal to lager drinkers, but a great beer in its own right with a big fresh Noble hop flavour.

Fyne Ales Highlander - more of an orangey citrus taste than the Avalanche & a little more maltiness.

Ulverston Lonesome Pine - a bottle conditioned pale ale with a delicate sweetness & a resinous hoppiness.
