Publicans have slammed multinational brewer Heineken for hiking prices to “unprecedented” levels for pint drinkers just as the cost of living begins to bite hardest in the run-up to Christmas.
Ronan Lynch, owner of the popular Swan Bar on Aungier Street in Dublin, said “people have just had enough” and that it is “terrible timing” for the price rise.
Mr Lynch said that pubs are only just getting back on their feet after being shut down for Covid and that many need a good Christmas just to survive.
