I was looking for a couple of nice beers in my Sainsburys local and came across this offer. Normally offers are 4 for £6.00 etc so handy if your just looking for a couple. Also good stocking fillers!! Includes the following:
Brewdog 330ml bottles (Punk IPA, Dead Pony Club, 5AM Red Ale)
Hoegaarden 330ml
Blue Moon
Samuel Adams Boston lager
Adnams Spindrift
Innis and Gunn - Original/ Rum Finish 330ml
Meantime - London Lager/Pale Ale 330ml
Robinsons Old Tom Ale 330ml

Support your local shops - doesnt that kill the pub trade?
I love my local beer shop, luckily in York have the outstanding House of Trembling Madness as well as others offering a wide range but some towns may only have offies (stacked high with Fosters and Stella) and supermarkets. Surely a bottle of Punk IPA if bought for £1.50 in Sainsburys is the same as a bottle of Punk IPA bought in Beer shop for £2.50 or even bought in the pub for £4ish!
Drinking good flavoursome beer is the name of the game

Perhaps not, please enlighten me.
I thought it was all about people (mainly hipsters with big beards, but I'm guessing that's not compulsory) making new and experimental beers, developed for taste rather than sales volume and brewed in relatively small batches. But I'd be happy to hear alternate explanations.

I like the Brewdog cans - take up much less room in the fridge and the recycling. But after finding them once at Tesco I've never seen them again. They had bottles - 4 / £6 which makes it the same as this deal except you've got a better excuse to buy four (or eight).
Not sure Old Tom should count as Craft Ale. It was brewed by blokes with big beards last time they were fashionable.

Do you even know what craft beer is?
Or what the whole scene stands for?

Decent price.
I do wish the supermarkets would start changing up their Craft Beer offerings though. A few years ago there was a decent amount of new stock coming in regularly. Now? Same stuff as last year. Brewdog in particular used to send a decent selection to Sainsbury's - I've had Hardcore, Dogma, Tokyo*, Riptide, among others. Got to go online for those now.

Asda 4 for £5 is probably the best offer at the moment, though they don't have the biggest selection.
Sainsburys ale selection at my local branch is terrible it almost never changes and their own brand taste the difference ones are pants.

For those who haven't tried Brewdog, those 3 on offer are all good.
Punk & Dead Pony are both tasty IPA's while 5am is a lovely dark ale
