Wetherspoon to Discontinue San Miguel Lager by November 2024
JD Wetherspoon has announced that it will discontinue the sale of San Miguel lager at all its pubs by the end of November 2024. This decision marks a significant change for patrons who have long enjoyed the popular beer, which was recently voted the nation’s favourite by a YouGov poll.
The pub chain will replace San Miguel with Poretti, an Italian lager brewed since 1877, which will be priced at approximately £3.99 per pint. Reactions from customers have been mixed, with many expressing disappointment over the loss of San Miguel, while others are open to trying Poretti.
The move comes as San Miguel transitions from its former distributor, Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company, to Budweiser Brewing Group, prompting Wetherspoon to seek alternatives for their clientele. Some pub staff have raised concerns about potential customer complaints due to San Miguel’s popularity.
Wetherspoon’s chairman, Tim Martin, has highlighted the ongoing pressures of rising costs, suggesting that price increases may be imminent across the chain. As regulars brace for the change, the coming weeks will allow them to enjoy their last pints of San Miguel before it is withdrawn from the menu entirely.
