I think the Anti Establishment IPA is not too bad. I'm getting sick of paying a kings ransom for beer so for £1.20 so I don't think you can go wrong, artificial flavouring or not. I haven't tried the grapefruit one though as I suspect it might be a down the sink job. Adli's pretty good when they do their beer 'festivals,' that's when I usually stock up on Swannay Brewery stuff.

Most people will just try something new on the shelf and put up with it. Even if 15% or so of their shoppers bought only 1, they'd still sell a load, but why do they bother indeed?

I think sometimes we forget that Aldi don’t create these beers to ride off other peoples success but to make something that is popular affordable for those less fortunate. They are not attempting to make the worlds best beer. You are correct Simon, you can’t re-create these beers with cheap ingredients but you can’t make a drink affordable for the less fortunate with expensive ingredients. It is useful to know we’ve not found something that can replace punk IPA for half the price but I think you went in quite hard.

I don't agree with this at all. Aldi's MO is to ride the coat tails of the branding and marketing of successful products through very deliberately copying elements of that branding and product style. When you walk down the aisles in Aldi, most products seem vaguely familiar, which is the point. This is part of how they can offer products at lower prices - they don't have to spend the time and money on market research, development and branding. But it is ultimately parasitic. To suggest Aldi does it out of benevolence towards the less well-off, rather than their bottom line, is way off the mark. They just want to make money. And this comes from an Aldi shopper. I go there because it's cheaper, but I don't walk around thinking it's cheaper because Aldi wants to help me out.

To me the Punk clone is.......about the same as Brewdog's, but the Elvis Juice clone is much better than the 5.1% Brewdog version which I had the misfortune to buy last week - 660ml bottle £2.49 in Lidl. These are the tastes I got out of that drain pour - The mild grapefruit taste wasn't as nice as ice cream concentrate - it was more like the grapefruit taste in 40 to 50p flavoured water in supermarkets. There was a malt that was a bit too biscuity and another flavour that was something like lucozade or tizer, with an odd lingering sensation of sweetness like the icing sugar in a box of cheap Turkish Delight. Memphos Bouldvard,for me, is much better than that.

I agree, some of their beers aren't particularly brilliant, but I'm pretty sure they don't brew the beer themselves. If memory serves well, most of the time the beer that are being ripped off are indeed brewed by the original breweries, in this case, BrewDog, but they need to be able to distinguish between the original and the knockoff, some people might like that they are getting a " BrewDog" for half the price of the genuine one, however, it wouldn't serve BrewDog well to sell a beer that's exactly the same for less, nor would ther be any point in selling one for the same price.
