With the 'Value Beer' does the Supermarket name have to be clearly seen on the 'main label' or would a 'neck label' be acceptable on a bottle beer (for example)?

Good question...

Anything with Christmas, Xmas, Holidays or pictures of Christmas themed items... trees, holly, reindeers etc etc I'd say would be safe enough

Has to have something Christmasy on it

Ahhhh fair enough, thought it would be sensible asking now instead of entering something I was given that was originally brewed at christmas but doesn't have anything making it obvious, will get something sensible instead

Should really brave the value beer soon, terrified how bad it will be.... (did my research think I know what I need to get now)

I've had a search but can't find anything conclusive:

So, providing a supermarkets name is on the label then it's a valid entry for V? Am I correct? Brewed for Sainsburys is OK?

Ahleckz · 28 Dec 2012 at 18:19

This is the ruling which I'm following:

Name has to be on the front (main) label in easy to read lettering ie. something thats doen't require you pull the bottle against your nose in a vain attempt to read it...

Time to go shopping!

Just as long as you don't have to press the bottle or can against your nose to be able to read the supermarket name.... Oh and the name must be on the front label / can not hidden away at the back. The bigger the better

So the supermarket name has to be on the main label? Not for example on the neck and back? (I have a really nice one if the supermarket name is allowed clearly on the neck)

If the neck is on the front

ie. NOT back label then neck shall be fine.

great news! One fairly enjoyable thing bought and speeding home to enter...

Mine has the name on the front at the bottom of the drinking vessel. It is quite small writing but is clearly visible. Going to try one soon as I bought 4.

Not got too much hope for it though and it was not really that value, considering my usual brand cider is 25% cheaper.

....hope you didn't enter cider :eek:

Entered V, hopefully it's all fine there. Great beer too! One of those own brand beers that turned out to be really nice

No, but the beer is not all that good after one. A bit insipid. Might combine it with cider and blackcurrant. :eek:
