What is a PET bottle?If it’s Carlsberg it probably means it was filled by a pet dog.
If only Carlsberg did beer deliveries.

Hmmm. How else can you serve beer other than via a plastic bottle?

PET is a type of plastic that is easily recycled.

I work in a very broad/loose sense in the industry and global supply chains are on fire at the minute.

It’s predominantly Covid related….the effect with a lag.

Commodities prices rising steeply, global freight rates remaining 8-10x what they were pre-pandemic, bottlenecks and congestion in the supply chain (ports clogged up, Suez issue, Yantian effect, etc), Shortage of materials (down to lots of different factors), huge uptick in demand as the world opens up again. Brexit has meant the UK is worse affected than our European colleagues, but the pandemic is the main thing.

I cannot see how inflation won’t take hold in 2022. Christmas will not be normal this year from a shopper perspective.

This news doesn’t surprise me.

As long as the Guinness doesn’t run out in the blue and white bar I’ll be happy.

No Carslberg, you say? Then I’ll have 10 pints of Guinness instead. That’ll be fun.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

A national shortage of beer is probably about the only thing that will make the idiots that voted for Brexit understand what a stupid and pointless thing they've done.

Yeah, but as Hunterhoop says, it's really a Covid supply chain issue not a Brexit one.

The 'blame it on Brexit' tag has become a bit like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything these days.

I wish we had Guinness is Ellerslie! Its Carlsberg from a can or Tetley from a can.
Think they put shipyard on the other day.

So many microbreweries around London a bit of publicity would do the world of good. The portobello brewery is about a 5 minute drive away!

They've got Shipyard, which I really like, but it's only served from one stall which has massive queues. To be fair to them, they actually know what they're doing and pre-fill glasses 2/3rds, so they quicker to pour when you order.

The club is "seeking additional options from the Carlsberg portfolio".

Have crueler words ever been spoken?

Suffering since 1978.

What exactly does the 'Carlsberg Portfolio' mean?

Because according to their website, they are responsible for a huge range of beers ( https://www.carlsberggroup.com/products/) including Kronenbourg, Brooklyn Lager, loads of other craft.

If we could get some of that in, I'd be over the moon!

Yeah this looks interesting:

But I'm sure it'll be this:

Why don't they contact Fullers?

Up the road and every beer/lager tastier.

The Club should just be going somewhere and getting 2000 or cans and bring them back to HQ....sell them and make profits.

Or let us bring our own intoxicants in until this is all sorted. Could be a moving cultural celebration. (Or sodom and gomorrah, granted.)

There’s a Tesco just around the corner.I can lend them my clubcard and they’d get 15% off this weekend as it’s payday.

QPR should brew its own beer at the stadium. It can be done relatively easily these days and doesn't need a massive amount of space or equipment. Loads of people are doing it and I'm sure there'd be a good few QPR fans that brew beer. One of my sons and his mates regularly brew pretty decent stouts, IPAs, bitters etc. and they're far superior to the tasteless fizzy slop that companies like Carlesburg churn out.

It could make the club some money and would certainly please the many ale drinking supporters like myself!
