Aldi’s Traditional Triple Beer (£2.99, 750ml) and 10-4 Brewing Session IPA (£3.49, 4 x 330ml) both won Master medals; the highest achievement awarded.
Low price doesn’t mean low quality, however. Bottled in a classic Belgian flip top brown bottle, the Traditional Triple Beer is pure malty goodness, pouring a clean golden body with a satisfying white head. The judges thought so too, calling it ‘moreish’ and stating they were ‘impressed with the beer’s wealth of flavours and smooth, rounded body’.

The discount retailer also scooped up a further three Gold Medals for its dry hopped Rhum Finish Beer (£2.99, 750ml), grapefruit infused Memphis Blvd (£1.69, 440ml), and rich and indulgent Specially Selected Coffee Stout (£1.49, 500ml). Aldi’s Tropicale (£1.69, 440ml) also scooped a Silver Medal. Talk about a clean sweep!
