The SA Brains website appears to have a list of participating stores, see my replay to Barm above…

They were in the aisle that runs between the clothing and the fruit and veg aisles. It was just luck that I went in that way and found them.

For the last two years I have trailed around all the local branches looking for these special beers, seeing neither hide nor hair of them ”

There is a huge Sainsbury’s near me. Went in yesterday and guess what? Nada. Nil. None.

I guess somebody likes them, somewhere.

I’ve pestered Sainsbury to redirect http://www.sainsburysbeerhunt.co.uk/ (and .com!) to
http://www.j-sainsbury.co.uk/media/latest-stories/2012/20120831-new-regional-beers-to-hit-sainsburys-shelves-nationwide-this-autumn/
but they’re just not interested. Or too busy. Or don’t use computers.
