In a move likely to infuriate beer lovers around the world, landlord and landlady Peter and Debbie Gibson have been suspended for serving pints ‘too full’ of beer.
Peter and Debbie, who have run the Junction Inn in Greater Manchester, England, for 12 years were ordered to close the pub on New Year’s Eve of all days, the Mirror reports.
Brewery owner Humphrey Smith showed up and, in front of all the customers, told the Gibsons that he was shutting the Junction Inn because the heads on the pints of beer were not big enough.
The couple said they were told they owed brewing firm Samuel Smith $15,859 in lost stock for topping up costumers’ beers.
“It’s disgusting they’ve been treated this way,” their daughter, Lisa Gibson Hunt, told The Mirror.
“They’ve worked for Samuel Smith’s for 16 years. They’ve never been down in their stocks, they’re just not reaching the stock targets the brewery wants, it’s not right.”
