Brits have been warned that they could face a "beer shortage" as hundreds of staff at the world's largest brewery are set to go on strike. Workers at the Budweiser Brewing Group's Lancashire site are walking out over a real terms pay cut which could result in a "lager drought" across the UK.
A strike could see the company facing a shortage of popular beverages such as Budweiser, Becks, Stella Artois and Boddingtons. In total, 225 union members working at the site, which is located in Samlesbury, near Preston, on a series of dates in June as the GMB union announced employees will strike over the cuts.
It will be the first time industrial action has taken place in its 50-year history.
