This month sees the selling of more British drinks and less from the other countries in the EU at Weatherspoon’s.

The 880 pub chain will be selling more UK beers from Thornbridge Vera in Derbyshire and SA Brains Atlantic from Cardiff, along with sparkling wines from Denbies in Surrey. These will be cheaper for Weatherspoon’s customers, says Chairman Tim Martin, and replace wheat beers and champagne from Germany and France. This, he says, is the start of Wetherspoon’s transition to non-EU trade.
