Where do you buy yours?

I don't want to buy 8 at £22.50 posted then find i am not keen, i have looked in the supermarkets and shops round here and have failed miserably so any idea where i might find it?

Don't know if its still available but Morrisons did it Chippy @ £1.85

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Thanks TB we tried Morrisons and they don't sell it round here.

Typical Sainsburys sell it and that is the only supermarket we don't have in the next town the nearest is many miles away, looks like we may have to do our next monthly shop online and get it delivered

Tesco are showing it but do not know if it is online only as a current special offer

You don't see it much up North but in East Anglia it's all over. I bought a mini keg from Woodforde's last week plus their Bure Gold golden ale which I prefer over Wherry

SWMBO checks Tesco every time we go and we haven't seen it yet as Jim, says it must be a North South thing.

 

[the baron]

Could be a N/S thing I wonder if it shows online at your nearest Tesco?
If so a online order with a few other items may be in order

I think SWMBO wants to try Sainsburys for a change so it looks like i will finally get my hands on a couple of bottles.

Waitrose do it, as do Morrisons. Obviously depends on the local store (I'm down south)

It's East/West as well as North/South. I've never seen it on sale in Cardiff. When I saw the thread title I assumed you meant the kits and was going to answer "Wilko's".

Kits

Kits are Boyes & Wilco but here's a strange one

Cherry Lane Garden Centre stock a few odd things Beer wise including Woodfordes Wherry in Bottles plus a few of their other Beers

That is in my local outlet near Doncaster so maybe look for your nearest at cherry-lane.co.uk as they look widespread. HQ Nottingham

 

[Jim Brewster]

The kit I made tasted nothing like the stuff I've bought I didn't have enough fermenter space so brewed it very short... it wasn't the best.

@Chippy_Tea I could send you a bottle? I've got one in the cupboard but that was taken from the mini keg so it'll be undercarbed but I could see if I can pick one up somewhere

They have it in the Marks & Spencer Simply Food in Solihull, but I've not seen it in their shops in the North East (the two areas I spend most of my time).

Where do you buy yours?

In nine gallon casks direct from Woodfordes - order going in today

But that probably doesn't help if you're not in their delivery area..

Thanks for the offer.

I posted this in the commercial beer forum as i read good things about it in the forums and have no way of brewing my own, i always buy a few beers for the weekend so wanted to try the shop bought Wherry, it looks like i will now be able to when the next order goes in.

Being rather outside their home area, I think Waitrose is the only supermarket I've seen it in - I suspect the other chains are big enough to have more regional variation, whereas Waitrose being smaller seem to have a fairly fixed national range and then a few hyperlocal slots for individual stores to fill.

It had better be good when you do get one

I better lower my expectations or i am bound to be disappointed.

I make it fro. The kits. Brewed a bit short and tastes close to the bottles, we did a blind tasting and out of the 4 of us ut was 2 each for the one we preferred. The whole family love it.
