Stuart Lyon Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Sainsbury's sell Shepherd Neame's London Porter under their Taste the Difference label. It tells you in the small print it is from SNeame. Lovely beer. £1.85 a bottle. Guinness Foreign Extra £1.85 for 330ml in Sainsbury's too also a very nice beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some stuff they sent me, labels, stickers all that kind of stuff, will be collectors items now as they are all Heather Ale Ltd, before they became Williams Brothers.

Guinness send the wort over to Nigeria and several other places in Africa & Asia and then local ingredients are then added to make each one unique to that country, so I've read.
