Wetherspoon Brings Back Murphy's Irish Stout Nationwide at £2.99 a Pint

The chain is adding a lower-priced rival to Guinness across about 800 pubs.

Overview

  • Wetherspoon, which began a six-week rollout Monday, expects about 800 pubs to pour Murphy's by the end of June.
  • The 4% ABV stout, often described with coffee and chocolate notes, will average £2.99 a pint across the chain.
  • Customers will still be able to order Guinness, which often costs about £3.50 to £5.50 in Wetherspoon pubs.
  • Wetherspoon says every eligible pub earned a 100% Guinness accreditation this year after Diageo training and unannounced checks.
  • The return revives a beer the chain removed in 2014 following a dispute tied to Heineken's ownership.
