Guinness shortage hits UK pubs

Britain's pubs have faced significant challenges in recent years, including the pandemic, staff shortages, and the cost of living crisis. The Sheephaven Bay pub in London, for example, has reported a substantial increase in sales of Guinness, with the Irish stout accounting for over 50% of draft beer sales. However, despite this growth in popularity, Diageo, the parent company of Guinness, has begun limiting the number of barrels of Guinness that British pubs and bars can order each week, citing a surge in demand.
