The biggest issue ive seen is with the Nitrosurge cans. Loads of people get the surger for Christmas so all the cans are out of stock til about February, happened last year too

I was at the grocery store here (NY) last week and they had a ton of boxes of the nitro cans just sitting on a pallet. Must be some supply chain mixup, my sense is the cans don't even sell much here bc of the price.

What a clever marketing trick and everyone is falling for it.
There was a story on the radio yesterday blaming it on a group of social media influencers making it popular.
No it's thick fucks like you on the radio giving them free publicity.
There's loads of Guinness just like there is loads of thick fucks.


Anyway Uncle Wally has already started a thread on it.

No guinness in my local robbies pub, hasnt been for weeks and landlord just told me that guinness arent selling any direct to uk anymore
 
The great guinness shortage update!!!

Just spent an hour with my pal who owns 4 pubs and ive not seen for ages.
Demanded to know immediately what the fuck is going on.

So robbies pubs are fazing out guinness to sell there own stout.

The massive shortage is due to a 30% increase in guinness consumption down to, they think, the tiktok fad of splitting the G i kid you not!!!
The 30% increase is down to younger people drinking it and younger women all trying to split the G!!

If splitting the G was an invention of a marketing guy at guinness then hes a fuckin genius

I’ve heard horror stories of groups of a dozen or so lads going to a bar and asking for 12 pints of Guinness, all videoing themselves trying to ‘Split the G’ with half of them then putting their pint back on the bar after getting to the ‘G’ saying ‘errrrwwww I hate Guinness’ ‘yeah me too it’s rank’ ‘yeah bloody horrible stuff’…

Yet us proper Guinness drinkers have had to suffer all Winter not being able to get it in some places, others giving you a ration card where you can only have three pints. Tib Street Tavern ran out of Guinness last Saturday evening before the end of the Brighton-Arsenal game.

Yeah, they split the G and then leave the pub with a table full of half-drank pints. Because they can't actually drink the stuff.

I was at pub in Didsbury, before Christmas, and literally every table was full of abandoned pints. And they were going up to the bar to buy more Guinness, only to do the same again.

Oddballs.

There wasn't a a Guinness presence in Warrington.
However, there is one a few miles down the road in Runcorn (Preston Brook).

Both Park Royal and Preston Brook are keging, bottling and caning sites. The Guinness that's drunk in mainland UK, is tankered over here as a syrup to these sites (afaik)

Never understood the hype.
Been to Dublin 6 or 7 times to see Morrissey and each time friends saying “oh you should taste it…. It never travels….. it’s great in Dublin”
It’s over hyped shite

Over hyped, over priced and living off the advertising from years ago and the inability of drinkers to try one of the alternatives around.
