In addition to Heineken, the brewing giant also makes Coors, Murphy’s and Beamish as well as Orchard Thieves, with all of its draught products impacted. The decision will see the wholesale price of a pint of one of its products climb by around 7 cent although when taxes and publican margins are included, consumers are likely to see the cost climb by around 20 cent. Publicans expressed dismay at the latest price hike and said it would increase the pressure on pubs that are already struggling to survive.
