Pub chain JD Wetherspoon has boycotted all Heineken products in its 926 pubs in the UK and Ireland after an extraordinary row over pricing.

Wetherspoon fell out with the Dutch brewing giant when Heineken refused to supply its lager and Murphy’s stout to Wetherspoons’ new pub in Dun Laoghaire, a town south of Dublin and demanded a personal guarantee from Wetherspoon’s chief executive, John Hutson, in order to supply any other of its products to the pub. The guarantee would make him liable for any debt the pub group had with the brewer.

The relationship between the two companies is worth around £60 million a year.

The spat means Strongbow cider, John Smith's bitter and Foster's lager are also off Wetherspoon's UK menu.

Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said: “We have been trading with Heineken for 35 years and they have never requested personal guarantees before. It’s obstructive to do so now, especially when we made record profits of around £80m last year.”
