Thank you to @YoungsBeers for sending this through for a 'baron rating'!
Looking forward to 'baron rating' Courage Directors & Wells Bombardier very soon!
@YoungsBeers got in touch with me recently saying that as I enjoyed 'baron rating' their Young's ales would I like to try bottles of Courage Directors & Wells Bombardier as well. As you know, the baron doesn't like to say "no", so very promptly some beers turned up:

Morrisons December ale & beer offers (29th Nov - 3rd Jan) (Ormskirk)
It's December's new beer & ale offers time in Morrisons so I popped into the local Ormskirk branch today to check them out. There is nothing that special reduced this time round which is a shame as a cracking deal at Christmas time could clear their shelves. They have the same beers on offer as last month with a few more added at about the same price.

Asda's latest ale offers ( 6th Oct - 16th Nov)
Looks like Asda have extended their '4 for £5' beer deal since the last time I reported. They now appear to have 26 different bottled ales - each bottle working out at £1.25 (this is an 'acceptable' baron price for beer - anything cheaper than £1.33 is candidate for the baron, although the aim is £1 or less).
The 26 beers are:
The 26 beers are:
- Black Sheep Ale
- Black Sheep Riggwelter
- Nethergate Old Growler
- Robinsons Old Tom
- St. Austell Tribute
- Wells Banana Bread Beer
- Wells Bombardier Satanic Mills
- Wychwood Hobgoblin [baron rating 4/5]
currently cheaper in Morrisons - £8 for 8 bottles
Some good cask ales on at The Queens Head (Ormskirk)
Moved on from the Eureka to the The Queens Head in Ormskirk town centre, they had Bombardier, Pedigree and Landlord (guest) on tap (& more)
Details of Asda's great premium ale discount
I popped into Asda (Aintree) today to find some excellent ale discounts (reading via Twitter? click this link for more: http://bit.ly/lWEZz)
They have a massive number of quality ales at £1/bottle and they had loads of stock (I bought 56 bottles for myself and a couple of friends), below is the full list included in the offer, all bottles are 500ml unless otherwise stated:
I also noticed that the Tanglefoot bottles had a cardboard bottle collar indicating that if you play an online game you get 50p off a future Badger ale purchase. I've played the game a few times & now have a number of vouchers so I'll see if I can use them against the already reduced Tanglefoot. If it works then the Tanglefoot is going to end up at effectively 50p/bottle... Now that would make the Baron very very happy!
