The Toast Brewing Another Round Session IPA, priced at £1.99, has been crafted using 4,000 loaves of Aldi's tiger bread that would have otherwise gone to waste.
This refreshing citrusy IPA boasts a 5 per cent lower carbon footprint compared to traditional malt-brewed beers.
The collaboration has saved three tonnes of bread from being wasted, transforming surplus bakery products into a sustainable beverage.
The Freedom Brewery Misfits Summer Fruits Beer, priced at £1.49, incorporates nearly a tonne of rescued wonky fruit from Aldi's stores.
This vegan-friendly IPA combines strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries to create a tangy and refreshing brew.
The innovative beverage demonstrates how surplus fruit can be transformed into an affordable, sustainable product.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: "We know our shoppers are increasingly passionate about sustainability and are looking for ways to make a difference when shopping."
"By partnering with incredible innovators, we're transforming surplus food into delicious, high-quality products that our customers can feel good about buying - all at Aldi's every day amazing prices."

The supermarket has implemented new stocking density requirements, giving chickens 20 per cent more space than the industry standard.
