Northern Ireland avoids Guinness price rises as Republic of Ireland to face more expensive pints

Northern Ireland pubs have avoided a Guinness price rise as punters in the Republic of Ireland are to face more expensive pints from next month, it has been confirmed.

Drinks company Diageo, which owns Guinness as well as Rockshore, Carlsberg, Harp, Hop House 13 and Smithwicks, said the price of its draught beer would increase by at least 12 cents in the Republic from February 1.

A spokesperson for the company has confirmed the price rises will not be implemented in Northern Ireland. Diageo said the price rises are due to a rise in input costs.
