Sounds like a good excuse for some sensible, adult binge drinking...........lol!.

Morrisons did a promo on Fursty Ferret down my way last year. 89p a bottle!.

The shelfs were cleared in no time then the price went to £1.89 ::/:

I find that ordering direct from the brewer is cheaper these days. I have an account with the Badger Brewery and their ParcelForce shipping is free.

I tried that with my favorite, Theakstons Old Peculier.
The brewery charge £26.95 for 12 bottles = £2.25 each.
Asda charge £5.49 for 4 bottles = £1.37 each.

I think it's swings and roundabouts. There will always be good deals, if you have the time to source them.

Ive only found one pub in a 20 mile radius that sells Old Peculier on tap. A nice boozer in the yachting village of Hamble (Hants) where the show Howards Way was set.

I do like a pint of the Peculier.

Boss took us out for lunch and found a pub near to that does Hobgoblin on draught winner!!! Recently got a good deal on Bombadier and Speckled Hen at Tesco. Also enjoy the Old P on draught but usually get it at home in Stoke

Round about 1980, when I was at a south yorkshire airbase, a carload of us used to go down to scampers for the occaisional weekend.

We would go into Lincoln Saturday lunchtime, and end up in a pub called the Potstill. They had the Peculier one on draught. Had many happy times in there.

Went back a couple of years ago, no Peculier.

I always scour Asda's shelves...Think Ive tasted most of the ales...like the 6-7%...
