Aldi is selling off pub stock to avoid waste - with prices starting at 99p

Supermarket chain Aldi has announced a new range of reduced price beers that start from 99p, after buying pub stock to save waste.

The initiative to help 13 breweries will see the beers stocked in branches across the UK, rather than being sold directly to pubs, which would have resulted in waste during the coronavirus pandemic.

One of the breweries getting a rescue package from Aldi is Dartmoor Brewery. Managing Director, Ian Cobham said the past year has seen 90 per cent of their normal trade wiped out because of pub closures.
