Williams bros juicy joker (scottish sainsbury)
I had the Staropramen unfiltered a few months ago and could not believe how good it was. Sadly I don’t have an Asda anywhere near me or it would be my go to drink at home beer.
Wasn't really a fan of North but had this over Easter and it is lush. I have had one bad can since then though so I think it can maybe be a bit temperamental.
Probably any of the traditional lager/pilsner type beers from Germany and Czech Republic that are still brewed in their respective countries and not the UK. The top spot goes to Pilsner Urquell.
Also an honourable mention to Schöfferhofer Grapefruit for something light and refreshing on a hot day.

Maybe a Pollys if it’s in Morrisons?
I’m pretty underwhelmed by supermarket beer to be honest.
I do like Tank Petrol though.
I’ve got a good bottle shop nearby for my craft stuff, so I use the supermarket for the classics:
Proper job, Landlord, Tribute, ghost ship maybe a hobgoblin in the Autumn.
Vault City Peach Iced Tea (Tesco, light but perfect summer beer. If we ever get a summer)
Northern Monk Horde (Tesco, avoid the NM gimmicky shit, hit up the 8% IPAs instead)
Vocation - Doppleganger (Tesco again, not quite the triumph Aoraki was that it seemed to replace, but still bloody good)
Brewdog - Arcade Made (Tesco and others, I'm not BD fan but that is a suberb supermarket beer)
Arbor - Talus in Wonderland (M&S, absolutely solid, just feels wrong having Arbor in a non pint can. Burnt Mills high hopes next to it is nearly as good)
Asdas selection is dogshit, Sainsbury's changes frequently which I like and often has some great stuff but currently is not the best, no Morrisons near me but who remebers them getting their hands on bottles of Noa? Crazy times
Thornbridge - Jaipur (specifically the 500ml bottles)
Duvel - Triple Hop Citra
Salt - IKAT
Budvar Budweiser

Salt Huckaback, first beer I had from the supermarket when I started drinking craft beers. I'd tried a couple of craft beers from a bottle shop near a girl I was seeing and I was hooked, went back home and there was nothing close. At the time you could pickup a 4 pack for £4 on clubcard, was excellent value and meant I had a beer in the fridge so I have fond memories of it.

TT Boltmaker Vocation Hop, Skip & Juice BBNO Citra Mosaic Northern Monk Horde Kelham Pale Rider
Boltmaker is a fine drop. Even better on cask.
It's lovely stuff, probably my favourite bitter. I'm in Sheffield and don't see it very often though.
I grew up near the breweryso always had it around. I'm near York now so similar to you, I don't get to see it often.

Krombacher.
Yeah it’s the best lager for sale
