Several Irish pubs in Great Britain have reported running out of Guinness due to supply limitations imposed by its owner, Diageo, in response to heightened consumer demand ahead of Christmas. Pubs in England, Wales, and Scotland are affected, with some managing to restock but facing uncertainty about availability. Landlord Steven Crosbie described the situation as a ‘shambles,’ noting a decline in customers seeking the iconic drink. Other establishments, like Katie O’Brien’s, have experienced similar shortages but have begun to stabilize supplies after a few days.
