Best Beers at Aldi
A beer is a drink made from water, grain and hops. The alcohol in a beer is produced during the fermentation process of the grain and hops.
Across the country, breweries are redefining their craft, with a burgeoning number of regional styles and a growing emphasis on experimentation. These innovations have fueled a wave of distinctively American beers.
While IPAs may have overtaken lagers as the most-brewed style, there are still plenty of old-school, adjunct domestic lagers that deserve a place in every beer lover’s fridge. One is Miller High Life, a crisp, refreshing American-style pale lager that’s easy to enjoy in any situation.
Another is Newcastle Brown Ale, an English brew that’s been around since 1927. It’s a can’t-fail classic that’s brewed with pale and crystal malts, giving it a bready and soft texture.
And there’s Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen, a modern twist on an essential German wheat beer that takes the banana, clove and bread flavors of a traditional hefeweizen and brightens them with a splash of tart grapefruit.
Nonalcoholic beers are making a comeback, with big-box and craft brands producing low-alcohol options that offer plenty of flavor and style diversity. They’re also a great option for people who want to avoid the calories and booze of regular beer.
Regardless of your preference, you’re sure to find something to satisfy at Aldi. We enlisted certified cicerone Eric Sadovnick to blind taste test 12 of their cheapest and most robust beers, ranking them based on flavor, aroma, pairing-possibilities and overall enjoyability.
