November 12th 2024.
Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye to one of our favorite beer brands. The nation's army of Wetherspoon fans will be disappointed to hear that the pub chain has decided to ditch a popular beer option. San Miguel, the beloved Spanish-themed beer, will no longer be available for order after this month. It's a sad farewell for those who enjoy its cheap and cheerful taste.
But don't fret, my dear pub-goers. Wetherspoon has a new offering for us - Poretti. And the best part? It will cost less than £4 a pint at most locations. So while we may have to say goodbye to San Miguel, we can welcome Poretti with open arms and wallets.
Interestingly enough, recent research has shown that San Miguel is actually the nation's favorite beer. YouGov researchers asked the public for their opinions on 164 well-known brands between July and September of this year. San Miguel came out on top with 61%, followed by Guinness at 53%. Surprisingly, it was the ciders - Kopparberg, Strongbow, and Thatchers Gold - that tied for third place at 51%.
A spokesperson for Wetherspoon confirmed the change, although the reason behind it has yet to be revealed. But one thing is certain, San Miguel will only be available in pubs until the end of November. So make sure to get your fill before then.
Of course, the news of their favorite beer disappearing from Wetherspoon has stirred up mixed feelings among drinkers. Some took to Facebook to express their disappointment, with one commenter saying they were "gutted it's going" and another more bluntly stating they were "p*ssed off". On the other hand, there were some who weren't too bothered by the change, with one unbothered drinker calling San Miguel one of the "nastiest lagers out there". Another even suggested that there are better Spanish lagers out there.
But let's not dwell on the loss of San Miguel for too long. In other exciting news, a huge new Wetherspoon has opened at a London train station. For the roughly 250,000 people who commute into London every day, this will surely be a welcome addition. The Lion and the Unicorn, located in The Sidings which was once Waterloo's Eurostar terminus, opened its doors on Tuesday September 3rd. Wetherspoon has invested a whopping £2.8 million into its development, making it a must-visit spot for grabbing a post-work pint.
The pub's name, The Lion and the Unicorn, was inspired by the Festival of Britain held at the nearby South Bank in 1951. This event celebrated British achievements in the arts, architecture, science, and technology. And with its new opening, The Lion and the Unicorn is just another example of how Wetherspoon continues to make its mark in the pub industry.
