As Christmas approaches, some Irish pubs in Great Britain are experiencing Guinness shortages due to supplier limits imposed by Diageo in response to heightened consumer demand. Pubs in England, Wales, and Scotland have reported running out of the popular drink, with some managing to replenish their stocks but facing uncertainty about future supplies. The landlord of the Liffey pub in Liverpool described the situation as a ‘shambles’, noting that the scarcity is affecting customer behavior and sales. Meanwhile, other establishments, like Katie O’Brien’s, have also dealt with temporary shortages.
