There is apparently a Guinness shortage. “Over the past month, we have seen exceptional consumer demand for Guinness in Great Britain,” said a spokesman for owner Diageo. “We have maximised supply and we are working proactively with our customers to manage the distribution to trade as efficiently as possible.”
Stunt? Crisis? Who’s to say. I’d rather not divulge this information but I am probably obliged to, professionally. And so may I point you in the direction of the Ramble Inn, Tooting, a true independent pub where the Guinness remains plentiful and is also only a fiver a pint. Tir Na Nog in Wandsworth has a few barrels left. And The Devonshire, of course. We’ll stop talking about the place when it becomes irrelevant, which will be never.
