Two Hoots Golden Ale, Joseph Holt, Manchester
Golden Summer, Wold Top Brewery, Yorkshire
Frederic’s Great British Ginger Beer, Frederic Robinson, Stockport
Worcester Sorcerer, Sadler’s Ales, Stourbridge

I’ve decided to buy each beer and review it, so I popped into my local store over lunch and managed to pick up 14 of them. Missing from my local store were the Wild Hop IPA and the Two Hoots Golden Ale, so I’m going to have to pop back and pick those up at some point. Not sure when I’ll get round to drinking them, but look out for reviews appearing on the site soon.

Update: I meant to say that these are all on special offer at the moment; 3 for £5.
