I knew the Downingtown invasion was coming to a Safeway near me (NW
U.K.) what I can't believe is the price of HopDevil - 0.69UKP per
355ml bottle.

For comparison in a bar a half pint (284ml) of massbrew lager would
generally cost you about 1.25UKP!
most peculiar mama,

It's about twice that up here in Scotland. Looks like the beer-loving
price code fairies were having a bit of fun again. I tried the HopDevil
a few weeks ago (even at that price *g*) and it was pretty good,
although I like Goose Island IPA better.

I do hope that whoever ends up buying Safeway has the good sense to let
their beer buyer carry on as before. They have the best selection of
basically any major retail chain in the UK, which doesn't say much for
the off-licences (Whatever went wrong at Oddbins??)
