Wetherspoons selling off real ales at 99p/pint ahead of lockdown


The Wetherspoons concept is fast going downhill at an alarming rate. Rarely use them nowadays, but went into the one in Manchester the other day, thinking it might serve a better selection of real ales than its NE counterparts, wasn't to be, yet again only Doom Bar and Ruddles on sale, the worst beers known to man, even at 99p a highway robbery, The place was empty as well , unknown 15 years ago, even at 11 in the morning.

So you rarely use them and popped in one and it was quiet so "The Wetherspoons concept is fast going downhill at an alarming rate."

I think you need to get out more bud.🤔

Wetherspoons isn’t universally popular with punters, but there’s no doubt the group’s business model is highly effective. Sales have risen by £1bn since the last recession in 2008. Pre-tax profit has risen from £58m to £102m over the same period — an increase of 75%.

The few i pop in locally at weekends are always chocker. So I can't understand where the not popular comes from, a few haters on here means nothing tbh.. The bairns 18 and always in with her mates for some bait and a few drinks appreciating the value.

Someone posted the other day that spoons had lost a fortune in recent years. I wonder why.🤦🤣

About 5 years ago, they were really great on ales and craft compared to most.
Then they seemed to pack it all in and go for something else, possibly gin? All I know is that they didn't seem to have 4-5 beers on that I fancied, so I stopped being arsed about going there anymore.
And now, with him being a massive prick, I don't go much at all.
Iv never had a pint of john smith’s in my life, im a lager lout for my sins. Any good?
Its literally the worst beer imaginable.
Shit beer, filtered to an inch of its life, then pumped with nitrogen gas to make it look interesting at point of sale, and tastes of nowt.

I'd rather drink Green King IPA. And that's saying something!

Sounds rank, probably a good move then getting shot. The younger crowd wouldn’t touch it anyway id imagine.

Their real ale selection is usually awful.

Thankfully they have some decent bottles and cans still
