Fears Old Speckled Hen and Abbot Ale 'could run out' as brewery workers stage strike action

Supplies of well-known beers and ales could be impacted as brewery workers stage industrial strike action this festive period.

Unite the Union confirmed that its members at Greene King will stage a total of seven days strike action following a "refusal to offer a fair pay increase". Workers have taken three days of action from December 21 to December 23 with a further four days planned.

These will be held between December 28 and December 31 as staff fight for a fairer pay deal. The union confirmed that supplies of well-known beers and ales to pubs, restaurants and shops including IPA, Old Speckled Hen and Abbot Ale will likely be affected.
