I performed an experiment tonight! I tried these four Aldi UK beers, all imitations of branded Beers available in the UK. What did I discover? All performed well, I have my favorites and honestly do not find the branded ones worth the extra money! I personally rate them :- 1. Rossini 2. Birra Mapelli 3. Pilsner 4.RheinBacher Results will be subjective, yet I can say it is worth giving them a try for yourselves. #DigitalMarketing #Creativity #Beer #Lager #Value

A story to illustrate you CAN realise your dream … My son John has a passion for making craft beer. So, 15 years ago, he wrote to a brewery in London to see if they had a job for him. That’s how it all started.     In November 2022, he opened, together with two beer-loving friends and experienced brewers, a small craft beer brewery in Hoxton, London: Great Beyond Brewing Company.   And now, in April 2024, they are among the four 2024 winners of the Raise The Bar Award, a national competition organised by We Are Beer for the best new breweries in the UK and beyond.   These four winners will pour alongside the industry’s best at the Bristol, Manchester, and London Craft Beer Festivals.   Congratulations, guys, what a remarkable Team achievement! ____________________________   😎 Hi, I am Reinoud. 👉 I am helping you to grow as a manager or leader. 👍 No nonsense, practical, results-oriented leadership coach.   If you like my posts, ring the 🔔 on my Profile, and share this post with your network!     #leadershipcoaching #creativeleadership #leadershipdevelopment  #resilience #psychologicalsafety #leadershipcircle #selfawareness #personaldevelopment #growth
