Sadly not.

There is: Golden champion, the fursty ferret, hopping hare, and Tangle Foot.

I get given bland supermarket ale every birthday and Christmas. People think they've made an effort to give you 'real ale', but I haven't got the heart to tell them it's crap. lol

The problem lies with the fact that the little breweries, can`t compete with the big boys and the way the supermarkets do business and hold a gun to the suppliers heads over costs.

The only supermarket that I`ve found, that has a really good range of bottled ale from smaller breweries, is the Lancashire and Cumbrian supermarket, Booths.

The likes of Asda / Tesco / Morrissons / Sanisbury etc, all tend to sell much of the same stuff

Cains seems to be cursed.

On a side note, the old Cains Brewery Tap, still remains closed, despite the fact that the Baltic Market and Punch Tarmyeys next door, are both bouncing.
