Not only do they not have it, they've replaced the beer shelves with fridges, so now have a smaller range, and only have one sour down from 4-5, and gone are the 5-6 imperial stouts, leaving only a single stout, which, to add insult to injury, is a milk stout. Still about 40 generic "craft" IPAs with cans more interesting than the contents, though. Edited November 5, 2021 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to add insult to injury but I went to a different Morrisons this afternoon (Tamworth) and I saw the aforementioned imperial stout. I didn't get it - too strong for me, but did pick up a Brewdog Layer Cake at 7%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the beer selection being trashed is going to cost them my business, it's the main thing that distinguishes the supermarkets for me. Morrisons have been the top dogs based on my local branch for the last couple of years, but I might have to pop into Asda or Tesco next week and compare the wares! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, when i'm out drinking with mates it will probably be good quality lager or hand pulled cask conditioned ales. They taste better in a pub. Having the same drinks in a can/bottle aren't the same. You can't replicate the taste of Wye Valley Butty Bach or a Purity Bunny Hop at home. So at home I'll try the weird and wacky adjunct beers. The Layer Cake I posted earlier... lovely drink, but certainly not one to feast on when out with the lads. Maybe as a nightcap at the end of the night! Some work really well, some don't. I enjoy the process of finding out I'm off work again in a couple of weeks.. i'll head out somewhere, stay in a pub and gorge on cask ales again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The examples in this thread are what beer should taste like. A better question would be, why does mainstream beer taste like piss? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you know. For some reason I fancy a stiff drink this afternoon, so I headed across town to the big Tesco, got my hands on a couple of cans of this as well as Death Star, as well as some sours and DIPAs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
