Supermarket Weep - Lidl

 

It’s been a while, but Supermarket Weep is back! The series where myself and some ‘lucky’ guests, try supermarket own brand beer and beers brewed specifically for supermarkets. In previous episodes we all went wild in the aisles of Tesco and Aldi. Welcome to Supermarket Weep - Lidl. 

A piece of advice for you, don’t trust the terrible cupboard holders that these beers come in. I opted to go without a bag or a trolley and regretted that decision. 

The beers all fell out of the cupboard and onto the floor. I stuffed my pockets with some of the beers, which caused my shorts to fall down. A new low for me is accidentally exposing myself in a Lidl…

Trolley to the rescue! Ignore than BrewDog, that was for something else! 

For this episode I was joined by friends of the blog, Dan and John. We kicked things off with Excelsior Lager, a French inspired beer.

This was bad, like really bad. It’s a really watery beer, with a weird sweet taste. Awful. 

Next up was San Martinez. No prizes for guessing which beer this takes inspiration from….

Now I thought that the previous beer was bad, but this was worse! San Martinez goes down as a strong contender for the worst beer to appear on Supermarket Weep! 

Continuing with the lager theme, Perlenbacher Premium Pils was next!

Yeah, there’s nothing premium about this. Another watery lager…

The next beer may be a tad controversial. As far as I’m aware, Steam Brew Session IPA is only brewed for Lidl. Therefore it counts! 

Now this was actually ok! The classic steam beer sweetness is present, so I guess it’s not bad!

Pick of the bunch was Patronus Premier Weissbier!

A decent Weissbier! It’s a welcomed surprise to enjoy a beer on Supermarket Weep! 

Supermarket Weep Lidl didn’t get off to a good start, but finished alright! Let’s see the table: 

Thanks for tuning into Supermarket Weep! Hope you join us for the next one!
