In 2008, two young men decided to take it upon themselves to test and taste the beers of the supermarkets of the United Kingdom, and publish the results for all to see. Today, March 8th 2008, we begin this quest with Lidl, partly because it’s cheap but mostly because it’s across the road - of course, we will still drive. We are planning on getting hammered, and we know that this is bad for our health - we do it, so you don’t have to. Please, wish us luck in the adventure, and we hope to see you on the other side. This mission is sponsored by Spandula Industries, a conglomeration of Pandula (Andy) and Spudula (Me), a crack team of enthusiasts of hop based beverages, if you can find us, then maybe you too can hire Spandula Industries for all your beer tasting needs

– Update — 19:30
Stock take : We have purchased £50.00 (give or take the snack value) of lager and beer. Unfortunately the was not a wide enough selection of beers available at Lidl, so we have also brought in beverages from Aldi to make up the numbers. So far we have purchased 88 bottles and cans of ale for consumption. High Five, let the fun times roll!
Update 21:53 — We have just came back from the local pub. It was unanimously decided that we had done enough tasting so far, that we should give out taste buds a treat and have a proper pint. For the record, Spud drank Pedigree and Pandy had a Guiness and black. On the way home from the pub, we also decided that between different drinks, we should have a shot of whiskey to help the medicine go down. We purchased a bottle of Jim beam, which brings the total expenditure for the night to £74.00 including the two pints at the pub. Please wish us luck through the rest of the session, all we have to look forward to is the half a meter of pizza which will be coming our way very, very soon.
