Landlords issue 10 pint of Guinness warning as maker hikes prices again

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"Pub landlords are warning that Guinness risks becoming the the first 10 pint after its maker revealed an incoming price hike. Guinness draught prices are set to surge by 5.2 per cent in April, Diageo revealed, as operational costs continue to rise for the business after the company upped the price last year by 4.2 per cent. A spokesperson confirmed the changing prince to The Independent, insisting that it allowed Diageo to continue investing in its brands."

"Like all businesses, Diageo must carefully manage the rising cost of doing business through regular pricing review of our products, they said. We have kept today's cost price increase to a minimum, reflecting the rising costs in our supply chain. This increase allows Diageo to continue investing in our brands to bring high-quality stout and spirits to market, and to support investment in initiatives to drive mutual growth for our customers across the hospitality sector."

The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech while avoiding paywalls. The outlet emphasizes sending reporters to speak to both sides and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' to spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. Pub landlords warn Guinness could become the first ten-pound pint as Diageo plans a 5.2 percent draught price rise in April after last year's 4.2 percent increase. Diageo states the increase reflects rising supply-chain costs and enables continued investment in brands and hospitality-sector initiatives. Sir Dave Lewis has been appointed as Diageo chief executive to boost performance.
