Its just a small section like in most supermarkets where they put whoopsees, end of day stuff, sell by etc. Not just beer, but have picked up various 4 packs and 6 packs before. Tends to be around 7am.

Just tried a hemisphere day session ipa which was really nice
depends, is brewdog craft anymore, or is their beer now the mainstream?
BD Overworks is carrying on the craft side of things with Brewdog. Their headliners Punk, Elvis have definitely parked their tanks on the mainstreams lawn like
Don’t mind a hazy Jane. Triple Hazy is not to be taken lightly

I haven’t enjoyed any of their recent supermarket efforts, yet the cans and draught they have in their bars are always quality.
Layer Cake and Roaster Coaster. Thought they were awful.
Layer cake was pretty nasty. Didn’t mind Roaster Coaster. Some of their more obscure Overworks stuff is awesome.
I do like sours, and the Brett beers though. Oh and impy stouts. And double ipas etc etc

The Aldi brewdog beer is alright for its price

Hadn’t even tried a sour until I had a Vocation blood orange one. Lovely. £2 from Tesco, naturally they stopped selling it altogether

Love their ales, fairly sure they have a taproom at their new premises on the Benfield Industrial Estate. Right next to Anarchy Brew so a visit to both can be done.
I prefer twobytwo brewery though
I had a couple of Sour stouts just before lockdown. Arcade City from Overworks. Just fantasticHadn’t even tried a sour until I had a Vocation blood orange one. Lovely. £2 from Tesco, naturally they stopped selling it altogether
Almasty have a new place there too. They have some nice stuff

I like both, unlike me as I'm starting to avoid sweeter stouts. I plan on doing a side by side of Layer Cake and Stay Puft at some point.
Full Circle’s Snake Island is a cracking stout. They’ve used Simcoe Hops in it, really really good and on the dryer side.
I have never tried a sour stout. Sounds like you would recommend trying though

Almasty, alpha delta, Wylam, two by two, full circle and errant. Throw Vaux in as well we have some very good local beers. Not as much a fan of anarchy mind.
Had one a couple of weeks ago, put the second can in the fridge earlier
Stay Puft is fantastic. Really fantastic beer. Brewdog’s version is great, I could taste it in Layer Cake but just not in an enjoyable way.
They’re very good. Heavy stout base and slightly acidic lifting it all up. Class.
Was given a can of, I think, the Belgian on the train after Oxford in Feb and was really pleasantly surprised. Tend to go for Mikkeller if I'm in M&S though.
