All ten beers made by Liverpool-based Cains are to be sold by the multiple as part of ASDA's promise to stock more locally produced food and drink.

Joint managing director Ajmail Dusanj said:

"This gives us huge confidence to continue innovating and bringing out new beers. Cains is genuinely challenging preconceptions about regional breweries and showing that it is possible for British beers to fight for shelf space with major retailers if they have quality products.

"We are determined to become Britain's favourite brewer."
