A member of staff holds up a "Guinness Ration Card" behind the bar inside The Old Ivy House public house in Clerkenwell, London on December 15, 2024. At her London pub, landlady Kate Davidson has taken to issuing Guinness ration cards, but still the beer has run out amid a UK shortage of Ireland's national drink. Bars across Britain, even Irish ones, have reported limited supplies of the black stuff since Guinness owner Diageo announced earlier this month that it was experiencing "exceptional consumer demand".
