A “Guinness dupe” will be introduced in every Wetherspoon pub at the United Kingdom.
All of the chain’s locations will carry Murphy’s Irish Stout, a rival to Guinness with a sweeter flavour.
The drink will be available in all of the company’s pubs by the end of June, with a six-week rollout beginning today.
A pint will cost £2.99 on average.
Fans of the authentic Black Stuff need not worry, though, since Guinness will still be sold in every Wetherspoon.
“We aim to offer our customers the best choice of drinks at all times,” stated Tim Martin, chairman and founder of Wetherspoon. “I am sure they will welcome the arrival of Murphy’s Irish Stout in the pubs.”
In terms of serving the ideal pint of Guinness, Wetherspoon pubs were found to have an impeccable record.
In a well-known pub chain in the UK, Guinness is about to welcome a new rival.
Starting today, all Wetherspoon bars will offer the £2.99 substitute.
In terms of pint-pulling, every qualifying Wetherspoon pub has attained the highly sought-after Guinness accreditation of 100% pass rate.
For nine years, Diageo, a supplier of Guinness to Wetherspoons, has collaborated with the teams of the pubs to make sure that employees have everything they need to serve the ideal pint of its product.
An unannounced visit by a Diageo assessor is part of the annual Guinness accreditation exam.
This year, all Wetherspoon pubs in England, Scotland, and Wales have obtained the accreditation for the first time since it was initially launched (Northern Ireland and Ireland are not included in the accreditation).
Wetherspoon’s reputation and dedication to providing the ideal pint of beer are unmatched.
In order to provide customers a fantastic pint of “the black stuff,” the collaboration with Diageo continues to guarantee that the commitment to perfection is put to the test.
Draught Guinness takes 119.5 seconds to pour and serve when following the six-step instructions for a flawless pour.
“We are proud to have achieved a 100% pass rate, with every pub gaining its accreditation,” stated Mark Latham, head of retail audit at Wetherspoon. It’s an amazing group accomplishment.
A “Guinness dupe” called Murphy’s Irish Stout is scheduled to debut in pubs.
He went on: “Wetherspoon provides training, including a video on how to pour the perfect pint, to all bar employees prior to the annual accreditation.”
After that, employees must score 100% on a knowledge test in order to pass this yearly (as well as new-starter) training.
“The training helps to ensure that customers are served a perfect pint of Guinness, in a branded glass, every time.” It goes beyond simply obtaining accreditation.
“The Guinness accreditation initiative is a welcome addition to our own regular high-standard quality checks,” Mark continued.
“At least once a month, a team of auditors visits the cellars of every Wetherspoon pub to make sure that standard operating procedures are being followed and that high standards of quality and hygiene are being achieved and maintained.”
