Around 790 Tesco stores around the country are now stocking what was once one of Britain's most popular beers.
In a post shared to the Allsopp's Beer instagram, the brand announced the return of the Double Diamond after its hiatus, which generated great response from fans.
One user wrote: "It's a classic brand.
"Great to see it back."
Another commented: "My old man mentioned Double Diamond before, so definitely need to try."
In reflection of the beer's well-known slogan from the 90s, a third person added: "Double Diamond works wonders, works wonders, so drink one today."
The beers reached sales of 50 million at their peak in popularity in the 90s, after first being brewed in 1876.
The brand, owned by Allsopp's Brewery, is a vegan and gluten-free beer, that was know for its bright red and yellow label.
It is an Indian Pale Ale that fizzled out in 2000s before eventually collapsing from the market in 2003.
The Double Diamond beer did make return to pubs last year, and saw a growth in popularity to the point of success where it could be again sold at the supermarket.
Britain's best beer ranked
Re-founder of Allsopp & Sons, Jamie Allsopp, said: "Double Diamond is our A-list star.
"This sessionable Pale Ale is the next iteration of Double Diamond and we hope will find a place in the affections of new drinkers, as well as those that haven't tasted it in 30 years."
It is currently available at 12 pubs around the UK, with plans for expansion to more locations soon.
They are being sold in packs of four 440ml bottles at Tesco, for £5.75 or £5 with a Tesco Clubcard.

Warm friendship can counteract hot tempers. Single? The One has many study qualifications. DESTINY DAYS Deep thinking is something to make time for on Monday, especially in love. Keep a cash promise on Thursday. Sample a new outdoor activity on Saturday. What is your star sign's element? In astrology, the elements — Air, Water, Earth, and Fire signs — serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviours associated with the twelve star signs. Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn The Earth signs are grounded in the tangible and practical aspects of life, embodying the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. These signs are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world, often excelling in matters that require patience and persistence. Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius The Air signs are characterised by their intellectual, communicative, and social nature. This reflects the light and dynamic essence of their elemental influence. Overall, these signs tend to excel in the realms of ideas, relationships, and innovation, bringing a breath of fresh air to their interactions and thought processes. Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces The Water element signs are profoundly impacted by their element. With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection. Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius Fuelled by the element of Fire, these fire signs in astrology are known for their passion, boldness, energy, enthusiasm, courage, and a zest for life that often leads them to adventurous and creative endeavours. LUCKY LINKS A painting of a familiar place. Your favourite sweet snack. A store that's being refurbished. ASK YOUR NEPTUNE QUESTIONS Neptune hits retrograde this week, for the next five months, at the top of your chart - and starts a time of closer scrutiny of your goals, in both love and life. Am I aiming too low? Or expecting too much? Do I give up too easily and how can I gain more willpower? The answers you need are already there in your mind and heart, but only by asking yourself these difficult questions, can you access them. The smallest successes can mean the most going forward, so do take time to celebrate them.
