BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! ALDI RETURNS ‘DELICIOUSLY CREAMY’ YORKSHIRE PUDDING BEER AFTER SELL OUT SUCCESS

• Malton Brewery was one of seven suppliers to be awarded a life changing contract in Channel 4’s hit show Aldi’s Next Big Thing
• Back on shelves nationwide from 25^th May, it was the supermarket’s fastest selling product of the series

Supermarket Aldi is returning Malton Brewery’s Yorkshire Pudding Beer (£1.75, 500ml) following sell out success last year.  

The delicious tipple, made with real Yorkshire Puddings, hit the headlines following its big win in Channel 4’s ‘Aldi’s Next Big Thing’ – a six-part series which gave small businesses a chance to be listed on Aldi’s shelves nationwide.  

Father and son duo Harry and Howard Kinder wowed Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, Julie Ashfield, with their intriguing creation, which was described as ‘deliciously creamy’.  

A solid shopper favourite, nothing was off-pudding about this beer as it almost sold out within the first week alone¹. 

Promising to be a popular choice once again as it hits shelves from 25^th May, the beer is made in the foothills of North Yorkshire with real puds to give its creamy, light quality that is both soft and delicious on the palate. 

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK says: “The innovation behind Malton Brewery’s Yorkshire Pudding Beer is outstanding. Shoppers absolutely loved its unique taste, so it’s only right that we return it to stores.” 

Howard Kinder, of Malton Brewery and creator of the Yorkshire Pudding Beer says: “Appearing on the show was absolutely life changing. Not only did we land our biggest ever contract, supplying one of the nation’s favourite supermarkets, but orders also went through the roof. It catapulted us into a whole new chapter.” 

The launch comes as Channel 4 confirms a second series of Aldi’s Next Big Thing.   

The supermarket is calling on suppliers of all shapes and sizes to get involved. Applications can be made via https://www.aldi.co.uk/next-big-thing. Entries close on 12^th June.   

Malton Brewery’s Yorkshire Pudding Beer will be available in stores nationwide and via Click & Collect from 25^th May, while stocks last.
