You have been missing out - or going to the wrong places.
That has been about locally for years. Not that popular it seems, cos never found a good pint of it yet!

Actually drinking a bottle of one I picked up in M&S on their dine in for a tenner offer - so not strictly small scale, but not mainstream, either. Adnams Suffolk single variety hop pale ale. Tastes like pineapple!

I have noticed Sainsburys seem to be going down the route of using (and stating which) breweries on their own brand stuff too.

Not sure I have had any Adnams yet. Used to keep a log, but I have lost track.
The same memory that remembers PTE routes, vehicles and allocations from 30 years ago, strangely struggles to recollect which weird and wonderful beers I consumed the night before!

Went in there for the first time in ages on Friday afternoon. No BBQ's unfortunately!
