UNUSUAL beer-flavoured crisps are landing on supermarket shelves this week.
Fans of savoury snacks that break the mould are in for a treat, with the crisps returning by popular demand.
As part of its Oktoberfest range, Aldi is stocking its Specially Selected Handcooked Crinkle Crisps in German Pilsner Beer flavour.
The crisps are “carefully hand cooked for crunch worth savouring” and boast a unique lager-inspired flavour.
Set to land on Aldi shelves on September 10, bags of the beery snacks are ideal for adding a salty side dish to a traditional German pint.
They cost just £1.15 for a 150g bag and are well worth a try if you love giving odd treats a taste.

The beer crisps have been part of the Aldi Oktoberfest range in previous years and fans have been divided by the “weirdly accurate” taste.
Described by one shopper as “yeasty”, she admitted: “I’m not sure if like them or not! I didn’t instantly hate them but they’re a weird one…”
Another described them as “lovely” and said: “They actually taste like beer!”
Another Aldi fan wrote online: “I tried these last time they were out and loved them. I usually like crisps with more flavouring than potato, but these have a very subtle beery flavour and are delicious!”
