St Austell Brewery is launching Cornish Best (3.4% ABV) in supermarkets for the first time, with 500ml bottles now available in Tesco stores.

It will be stocked in Waitrose from April and will also be available in Asda stores nationwide this summer.

Cornish Best is a well-balanced, easy-drinking ale. Boasting rich malt and biscuit notes, with subtle fruit and toffee flavours, and a hint of bitterness, it has been available on cask in pubs across the South West since 2015.

As well as the beer being bottled for the first time, the branding has a fresh new look, too, inspired by the vibrant colours of the Cornish coastline.

“We’re very excited to be launching Cornish Best in supermarkets for the first time, so people can enjoy it at home,” said St Austell brewing director, Georgina Young.

“It’s a well-balanced and sessionable beer that has been a long-time favourite for cask fans in the South West. We’re pleased to be bottling it to make it more widely available, and introducing it to new drinkers, too.”
