No more Guinness

antjos1 · 11-03-2018, 06:13 AM

Hi all
What else will brexit be blamed for.

British pubs could run out of Guinness following Brexit, claims Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable

Sir Vince Cable warned an extreme scenario caused by a no deal - or a very bad deal - could lead to the supply 'drying up'.

They could always re-open the Park Royal Brewery they operated from the 1930's until 2005. Had they not moved local production from UK to the EU it wouldn't even be a consideration.

(No idea, but its probably trendy flats by now!)

LOL well if it does England is probably one of if not there biggest market outside of Ireland so that will have a bigger impact on the Brewery than anything...

I seem to recall the same guy pledging No rise in Uni fees....Hes pretty discredited now.

I view that as a bonus, plenty British based breweries such as those in Burton would welcome it.

He's a silly old man and best ignored.

I think that was Nick Clegg and he lost his seat at the last election to Labour.

Thing is it doesn't matter who loses most, we all lose and this isn't a time for beggar thy neighbour policies it's actually a time to come together (oddly enough) and more than ever we'll need friends and so will they.

No it's not bonus at all, we need to keep it all going as before, free trade is the goal with anyone that has stuff we want and why wouldn't we want Guinness? ROI are a very close partner and we need to keep them very close and we will, hence Vince is talking nonsense as usual.

That sounds like a sensible and reasonable idea - how dare you suggest that re Brexit?!

soulboy · 11-04-2018, 01:42 AM

its brewed in 48 countries so no chance of a shortage
best in my opinion being the belguim export tout at 8.5%
the draught is nitrogen filled and weak

It is if a bunch of Irish lose jobs and bunch of people in Burton employ more people.

While I voted remain, I am all for the likes of Black & Decker moving back to UK, if Guinness lose jobs in Ireland tough titties.

If they want to see Guinness in one of their biggest markets, open a brewery in Wales, England (Scottish are not cultured enough for Guinness, they are happy with 70 shilling and tennents super strength, oh and Buckfast).

It was all of them. They all made the pledge and it was in there manifesto.
Vince the Cable also lost his seat but was voted back in when they realised the new person was worse..
I think we have had so many votes we have lost count..

There has been a MASSIVE increase in the number of breweries in the UK over the last couple of years, so I'm sure we will all cope.

Consett Mag · 11-05-2018, 05:31 AM

To warn people that the pubs might run dry if we leave the EU is a rather low, and alarming tactic.

If Vince wasn't a politician I'd know that there's at least hope for my liver.
