    The Official DOOM: The 'spoon

    "Wetherspoon’s short on some beers as Brexit affects deliveries

    Pub chain confirms shortages of Carling and Coors, with one notice blaming ‘lack of lorry drivers and strike action’

    The pub chain Wetherspoon’s is experiencing shortages of some beer brands, including Carling, Coors and Heineken, amid a Brexit-induced shortage of delivery drivers and industrial action.

    Parent company JD Wetherspoon, which is led by vocal Brexit-supporter Tim Martin, confirmed on Wednesday that some of its pubs did not have the beers in stock, after customers flagged the issue on social media.

    One such post included a picture of a notice put up by the pub chain blaming “lack of lorry drivers and strike action”.

    Molson Coors Beverage Company, which owns the Carling and Coors brands, confirmed that driver shortages had led to difficulties in supplying Wetherspoons: “Like many in our great British brewing and pub sector we have been hit by the HGV driver shortage,” it said.

    “While overall our availability is good, there are intermittent pockets of pressure in our supply network that are unfortunately affecting a number of Wetherspoon’s pubs. We’re working around the clock with our customers and third-party logistics partners to ensure we minimise any impact to our customers.”"

          Oh no its Gexit/Fexit & Iexit causing a lorry driver shortage, why weren't we told everyone important had left the EU!

          https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...l-400-000.html

          Now lorry driver shortage hits Europe: Germany, France and Spain suffer total shortfall of 400,000 HGV drivers sparking claims Brexit is NOT to blame for UK crisis
          • Mainland Europe is experiencing an estimated 400,000 lorry driver shortage
          • Germany was missing between 45,000 and 60,000 HGV drivers last year
          • France has faced a shortage of around 43,000 lorry drivers since 2019
          • The shortfall in Italy in 2019 was estimated to be around 15,000, analysts said
          • Port closures in China during pandemic have sparked a supply chain crisis
          nothing to do with crap wages and zero hour contacts then? Or is that only in the EU?

            There might have been a long-term shortage of drivers, but I bet you can still get a milkshake in France. The very fact it's a long-term shortage, but the current news is of acute shortages, tells us that's not the problem. Typical FUD.

              My mate texted me and said he was in Wetherspoons If I fancied a pint.

              There was a sign on the door, no Carling or Coors. So I had a beer.
