Company spokesperson Eddie Gershon told TheJournal.ie that you will, however, be able to get stout in the form of Beamish and Murphy’s.
He added that the company is not worried that the absence of the black stuff will affect business.

The company, which sells Guinness in the UK, says that pints will be priced at €3.95.
