Aldi Six Nations beers launched as rugby tournament gets under way

With the annual Six Nations Championship kicking off at the weekend, Aldi has been inspired to launch some appropriate beers for fans to enjoy while watching the games. The supermarket has come up with three new limited edition craft beers to mark the occasion.

The Hop Foundry brews are named after classic rugby manoeuvres and positions - Ankle Tap, Blind Side and Loose Head. They're on sale now at £1.69 per 440ml can.

Hop Foundry Ankle Tap Lager

Aldi describes this one as "perfectly simple and lovingly brewed with just four ingredients of hops, yeast, malted barley and spring water, this beer offers a light and crisp flavour that is sure to tackle taste buds".

Hop Foundry Blind Side Red Ale

Aldi says: "Prefer something a little smoother? Full-bodied with dried fruit and malt flavours, this red ale is the perfect all-rounder and even promises to win on the opposition."

Hop Foundry Loose Head Pale Ale

Aldi says this one is "a traditional pub favourite with a tropical twist, this pale ale will firmly take front row".

Aldi said its new Beer Shaped Salted Pretzels (99p, 150g) were a perfect accompaniment to the new range of beers. The snacks go on sale on February 12.
