More reasons to shop at Morrisons<\/b>, or so the advertising
\njingle goes, and whilst Morrisons <\/b>is not up there amongst the market leaders in
\nthe grocery trade, it can occasionally surprise its customers. Northern-based Morrisons <\/b>is the 5th<\/sup> largest <\/b>supermarket chain in the UK<\/b>, known for
\nits competitive pricing and commitment to sourcing British <\/b>produce. Whilst not
\npositioned as a premium supermarket, Morrisons<\/b> is known for its high standards
\nin fresh food categories like meat, fish, and vegetables, and is a favourite
\nfor those who don\u2019t want to break the bank.<\/p>\n

For many years, Morrisons<\/b> had a presence locally, with a
\nmedium-sized store in Tunbridge Wells,<\/b> next to the town\u2019s rail station. That
\nclosed several years ago, but now the company is making something of a comeback,
\nby setting up a number of small, one-stop-style, convenience stores. We have
\none of these outlets in Tonbridge,<\/b> a store that was run as part of the
\nInternational<\/b> chain, a group that was the successor of the Home & Colonial
\nStores. <\/b>As the name suggests, the company dated back to the days of empire. The
\nTonbridge International<\/b> became a Gateway<\/b>\u00a0store and then a Somerfield<\/b> store, before eventually morphing
\ninto one of the Pound Shop<\/b> chains.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The latter eventually closed, as after all there\u2019s a limit
\nto the amount of cut-priced tat that the market can support, and this is when
\nMorrisons<\/b> stepped in. The majority of the building was demolished and then
\nre-built as flats and apartments, to suit Tonbridge\u2019s<\/b> growing status as a
\ndormitory town, but the ground floor unit, fronting onto the High Street,<\/b> has remained
\nas a retail unit, which is now occupied by Morrisons.<\/b> With a High Stree<\/b>t
\nposition suited to attract impulse buyers and lunchtime shoppers, this Morrisons Daily<\/b> is deservedly doing very well, but imagine my surprise when the
\nChristmas <\/b>before last, I called in for some last-minute shopping and discovered
\nthe store is now selling beers from one of Britain\u2019s<\/b> most respected family
\nbrewers.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking about a range of bottled beers from Harvey
\n& Son (Lewes) Ltd,<\/b> a situation that is very unusual, because Harvey\u2019s <\/b>used
\nto have a policy of not supplying their beers to national chains, or supermarkets.
\nStaunchly conservative, Samuel Smith <\/b>of Tadcaster<\/b>, still operate such a policy,
\nand used it as one of the USP\u2019s<\/b> that set them apart from off-licence chains, or
\nsupermarkets. I remember one of their sales managers explaining this to me,
\nover the phone, when we first opened our own, staunchly, independent
\noff-licence!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Fast forward to a couple of days ago, when a message on the
\nlocal CAMRA Beer Social WhatsApp <\/b>group, alerted me that 5 litre, metal kegs,<\/b> of
\nHarvey\u2019s XXXX Old Ale<\/b> were being sold at Tonbridge Morrison’s, for the bargain
\nprice of \u00a324.99 <\/b>each. In other words, \u00a35 per litre<\/b> of this dark, and delicious,
\nseasonal old ale! The following morning, I called in at the store, on my way to
\nwork, and grabbed one of the two kegs remaining on the shelf, along with a
\nselection of Harvey\u2019s<\/b> bottles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

At the till, I expressed my surprise (and
\npleasure) at seeing these mini kegs on sale. The person serving me, said they\u2019d
\nbeen selling quickly, and the store was looking to order in some more. Today, I
\njust happened to call and saw they had all gone although, in their place were a
\nnumber of Harvey\u2019s Best Bitter <\/b>kegs.\u00a0Earlier in the week,\u00a0 I mentioned the Harvey\u2019s<\/b> kegs to a work colleague,
\nwho thought that the smaller, Morrisons Daily <\/b>stores operate on a franchise basis,
\nwhich allows quite a bit of autonomy for managers\/franchisees. I’m not sure how accurate that is, but it might explain the very welcome appearance of Harvey’s<\/b> beers, in one of our local supermarkets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

I shall leave broaching the keg until a few days before Christmas,<\/b> but earlier today I called in at the town’s Organic Village Market<\/b>, an interesting establishment that often carries an interesting range of beers. The shop is normally a good bet for Westerham Brewery <\/b>bottles, and occasionally you might come across Samuel Smith’s.<\/b> Even rarer, are the German<\/b> beers that are sometimes in stock, and today, I was even luckier, as the Organic Market<\/b> had just received a shipment of beers from Bamberg.<\/b> Needless to say, I bought a few, despite their \u00a33.99<\/b> price tag. As with the Harvey’s kegs<\/b>, I shall be adding the German<\/b> bottles to my Christmas <\/b>stash. Much as I detest that corny old, crooner’s song, I can safely say “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
