Wetherspoons to Replace San Miguel with Poretti

Wetherspoons, a popular pub chain in the UK, has announced it will stop selling San Miguel, the nation's favorite beer according to a recent YouGov poll, by the end of November. San Miguel, which boasts a 61% popularity rating, will be replaced by Poretti, an Italian beer priced at £3.99 a pint or £3.20 on Mondays as part of a special deal. The change comes amid speculation that the switch is related to San Miguel's licensing shift from Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company to Budweiser Brewing Group. The decision has elicited mixed reactions from customers, with some expressing disappointment and others welcoming the change. Staff at Wetherspoons anticipate customer complaints due to the beer's popularity, but the chain continues to see strong sales growth, despite potential price increases following recent economic changes. The introduction of Poretti, characterized by its heritage and distinct flavor, aims to offer customers a new experience in the wake of the San Miguel phase-out.
