The retailer’s search for Scotland’s best home bar follows the success of last year’s competition, which crowned Dumfries-based Bob Carter’s ‘Garage Bar’ the winning landlord, thanks to its rustic charm and detailed touches, including horse saddle bar stools and traditional hand-pulls.

Whether it’s a garden shed transformed into a classic pub or a unique cosy corner in the home, Aldi Scotland will gift a 12-month supply of beer to the most inspired spot to enjoy an ice-cold beer at home.

The winner can collect a selection of beers from the multitude of brewers who feature in the retailer’s Scottish Beer Festival, giving them a chance to try locally produced, top-quality craft brews from all over Scotland.

The ‘Best Home Bar’ competition coincides with the launch of Aldi Scotland’s Spring Scottish Beer Festival, which launches today (Thursday 25 April) and will showcase everything from citrus IPAs to chocolate stouts, with prices starting from just £1.89.

Aberdeen’s Fierce Beer is one of the first hero brewers to feature as part of the campaign. Focused on producing unique and flavourful beers, Aldi was the brewery’s first-ever customer.

Fierce Beer will be showcasing a range of fruity craft beers, including a light and zesty tangerine pale ale and a lemon meringue pie sour.

The lineup also features beers from Cold Town Brewing, Loch Lomond Brewery and Glen Affric, with all products available to purchase in-store this week.

Graham Nicolson, Regional Managing Director, Aldi Scotland, said: “We were so pleased with the popularity of our ‘Best Home Bar’ competition last year which shone a light on the creativity of Scottish consumers. The competition is a great way for us to introduce home bar owners to the very best Scottish brewers available on Aldi Scotland’s shelves.

“Entries will be judged based on creativity, originality, functionality and overall aesthetic appeal. The competition is open to all set-ups, from extraordinary garden bars to the more understated kitchen table.”
