Aldi beers scoop six gongs at international drinks awards

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.
