- Australia 10 Pacific Ale: Described as a drink ‘down under’, this one is specially crafted with Australian Hops. It’s low in bitterness and smooth with fruity aromas – ideal if you love a pale ale.
- England 66: English lager fans – this one’s for you. It’s got just four ingredients to make it light, crisp and refreshing with a mature flavour.
- Germany 13: Based on the classic German Kolsch style lager, this one originates from Cologne. Again light with a splash of bitterness, it’s a classic beer which is fermented with ale yeast and long matured.
- Japan 7: This one is a Japanese-style rice beer – perhaps one you might like to try if you haven’t already. It’s dry, light and very refreshing.

Sainsbury’s currently has a sale on its 12 pack of 330ml Heineken – now £9, down from £12.
That equals to roughly £1.30 per bottle, but bear in mind these are smaller than the Aldi cans.
And Tesco sells six 330ml Birra Moretti cans for £6.75 – so just under 90p each.
