Budget supermarket is celebrating after coming away from the Drinks Business Global Beer Masters awards with six awards. Indeed, both its Traditional Triple Beer and 10-4 Brewing Session IPA were both awarded a Master medal
The renowned competition blind tastes beers from around the world and the judging panel is made up of sommeliers, buyers and industry insiders - experts that taste a wide range of brews across seven categories.
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.
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 10-4 Brewing Session IPA pours a clear golden body with aromas of ripe grapefruit. The judges praised the tipple for its long finish as a ‘bright but balanced IPA’.
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.
Aldi’s range of beers is available online, via Click & Collect, and in Aldi stores nationwide now.
