BRITISH tourists are in a black mood — as pubs in Majorca run out of draught Guinness.
Barrels of the stout are in short supply, much to the dismay of those on holiday.
Sunseeker Geoff Edwards, 47, of Portsmouth, said: “All the busier Irish pubs I’ve tried are out.
“We’re here another week so hopefully the suppliers get their finger out or I won’t be happy.”
Sonia Rioja Brennan, who owns the Dubliner Bar and Brennan’s, said: “I sell 15 kegs a week in both bars and ran out a week ago.
“More than the money aspect, it’s a reputation thing.
“How can an Irish pub not sell Guinness on tap?”
Eduardo, who manages All Blacks Irish Pub in Torremolinos, expressed to The Sun: “We’re currently facing a shortage of Guinness. I don’t have sufficient supply to last until the end of the week.
“We sell Murphy’s too but it’s not the same.
“I know I’m going to have a lot of unhappy customers if the problem doesn’t get fixed soon.”
Pubs as far away as Canada have reported running out in what appears to be a global shortage.
Heineken, which supplies Guinness in Spain, said demand across Europe had exceeded forecasts.
The surge in sales is partly attributed to a game called Splitting the G, where patrons attempt to drink a pint until it reaches the halfway mark of the letter G found on the Guinness-branded glassware.
