Pubgoers have been sharing their delight as popular pub chain Wetherspoons has confirmed that a once-axed drink is returning to menus.
It comes as Strongbow and Strongbow Dark Fruits have been added back to pub menus.
Previously, the cider had been dropped from Wetherspoons back in November 2021 as part of a major shake-up of its drinks menu.
The deal saw the pub chain sign a huge 20-year deal with Budweiser Brewing Group, becoming its largest supplier, seeing the end to Strongbow.
Strongbow returns to Wetherspoons
Wetherspoons and Budwesiers deal meant that Strongbow and Strongbow Dark Fruits were left in the dust along with John Smiths.
The ciders were instead replaced by Stowford Press Apple and Stowford Press Mixed Berries, whilst John Smiths bitter was replaced by Worthington’s bitter.
But now the pub confirmed to LadBible that the popular cider drink would be back on menus.
Telling the outlet: "All pubs will stock Strongbow Dark Fruit starting from Wed 2 Aug.
"The majority of pubs will also stock Strongbow original cider from the same date.
"With any draught, rollout installation timings will vary by pub depending on technicians who visit the pub and set up the dispense - we hope to be complete in August."
If you missed the drink from your local Wetherspoons, you can order the cider from the bar or through the service app.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
