Best Fruit Beers You Can Buy in UK Supermarkets

If you have ever seen any of my fruit beer reviews on YouTube, you know that they have always been a bit of a mixed bag for me.

Some of it tastes artificial, overly sweet, or just doesn’t feel like beer at all. But every now and then, you come across one that gets it right, proper fruit flavour, balanced with a base that still feels like a beer.

The good news is you don’t need to go hunting around specialist bottle shops anymore for these beers, supermarkets are starting to stock some genuinely decent fruit beers, if you know what to look for.

Here are a few I’ve found that are actually worth picking up.

Jubel (Peach, Mango, and others)

Jubel is probably the most widely available fruit beer in UK supermarkets right now, and for good reason.

You’ll usually find it in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, or Morrisons, often around £1.80–£2 per can depending on the deal.

It’s technically a lager cut with fruit, so it drinks very easily. The peach version is the standout for me, light, refreshing, and genuinely fruity without tipping into artificial sweetness.

It’s not complex, but it does exactly what it sets out to do.

Radler-style beers (Stiegl, Schofferhofer, etc.)

If you’ve never tried a Radler, it’s basically beer mixed with fruit juice, usually lemon or grapefruit.

They’re lower in ABV, very refreshing, and perfect for warmer weather or when you just want something lighter.

Schofferhofer Grapefruit is one you’ll see fairly often, I liked really liked this beer and reviewed it very early on in my beer discovery journey, and while it leans more towards juice than beer, it’s still a solid option if you go in with the right expectations.

These aren’t beers you sit and analyse, they’re beers you drink cold and enjoy.

Supermarket specials and seasonal finds

This is where it gets a bit hit and miss, but also where you can find some hidden gems.

Lidl and Aldi in particular will occasionally bring in fruit-led beers as part of their rotating ranges. Some are forgettable, but others are surprisingly good, especially when they’re brewed in collaboration with established breweries.

It’s worth keeping an eye out, but I wouldn’t rely on these being available all the time.

What to watch out for

Fruit beer sounds simple, but it’s easy to get wrong - the biggest issue is balance. Too much fruit and it stops tasting like beer. Too little and it feels pointless.

You also get a lot of artificial flavouring in cheaper options, which can give that slightly syrupy, synthetic taste, I also often get a horrid bitterness in the aftertase from some of these, and I think it's when they are using artificial sweetners to get some element of sweet fruit into their beers!

Price can be a clue here, but not always. Some cheaper beers are great, others feel like soft drinks pretending to be beer. BrewDog used to be very guilty of this, but they have improved over the years.

If in doubt, stick to brands that are already doing things well.

Where fruit beer fits

I don’t reach for fruit beer all the time, but when I’m in the mood for something lighter, more refreshing, or just a bit different, it does the job.

It’s not about complexity or depth. It’s just about drinkability and usually sessionability (if that is even a word!).

And that’s where the better supermarket options are starting to get it right.

If you want more traditional styles, I’ve also put together a guide to good beers you can buy in UK supermarkets that covers everything from stouts to IPAs.

But if you’re after something fruity that still feels like beer, these are a good place to start.
