Wetherspoons Replaces San Miguel with Italian Angelo Poretti Lager

The pub chain shifts its beer offerings amid rising costs and changing supplier dynamics.

Wetherspoons will stop serving San Miguel beer, replacing it with Angelo Poretti, an Italian lager, in its pubs.
The decision follows the end of a long-term contract with San Miguel, which is now set to be brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev in the UK.
Angelo Poretti, owned by Carlsberg, will be available at Wetherspoons for the next decade, with prices starting at £3.99 a pint.
The change comes as the pub industry faces fierce competition in the world lager market, with brands like Madrí Excepcional seeing significant sales growth.
Wetherspoons' owner, Sir Tim Martin, has warned of potential price increases due to cost inflation and recent budget impacts on the hospitality sector.
