Budget pub chain Wetherspoons has announced a controversial change to its menu - and some fans will be livid.
The pub has decided to axe some of the nation's most popular drinks from its menu.
From December 15, pub-goers will no longer be able to order Strongbow and Strongbow Dark Fruits, or John Smith bitters.
The change comes after the company signed a new 20-year deal with Budweiser Brewing Group to become its largest supplier.
The agreement will see drinks including Budweiser, Stella Artois, Corona, Leffe Blonde and Bud Light - as well as Bathtub Gin, Bud Light Seltzer and Mike’s Hard Seltzer - feature in all 860 Wetherspoon pubs.
But draught ciders Strongbow and Strongbow Dark Fruits will be replaced by Stowford Press Apple and Stowford Press Mixed Berries, made by Westons Cider.
John Smith's bitter is being replaced by Worthington's bitter, supplied by brewer Molson Coors, says the Mirror.
The changes will come in on December 15 across all Spoons' pubs after a 41-year association with Heineken and other predecessors.
Wetherspoon says demand for Budweiser Brewing Group drinks has increased during the pandemic and its menu change will reflect this.
Tim Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said: “Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I will now become our biggest supplier, with new beers Budweiser, Corona and Leffe Blonde, in addition to their existing products, Stella Artois and Bud Light - as well as a range of bottled beers.
“We are also pleased to have agreed long-term supply deals with BrewDog, Westons Cider, Carlsberg and Molson Coors.
