Wetherspoons Boss Trolled After ‘Running Out Of Beer’

Wetherspoons has apparently run out of several types of beer, and it’s fair to say not everyone has that much sympathy for the company’s owner.

Tim Martin has been one of the most prominent backers of Brexit over the past few years, and many on social media couldn’t help but point out the irony of his business being negatively affected by the very issues he’d previously dismissed as part of ‘Project Fear.’

The rumoured beer crisis was first brought to light by Twitter user Graham Hughes, who posted an image of a notice outside his local Spoons telling customers ‘we regret to inform you that we are out of stock of Carling, Coors and Bud Light. Due to supply issues regards to [sic] lack of lorry drivers and strike action which are out of our control.’

Twitter duly piled on, with users suggesting the issues were a classic case of chickens coming home to roost.

Supply chain issues stemming from Brexit and pandemic-related shortages have hit the restaurant and supermarket industries particularly hard in recent weeks, with major companies including Nandos and McDonalds also announcing they had temporarily run out of certain menu items.
