A SUPERMARKET has pulled more than half of a company's beer and cider range from its shelves after the brewer tried to increase prices following the Brexit vote.
It has been reported that Tesco will no longer sell 31 of Heineken's brands, and is now only stocking 22 of its products rather than the 53 it was selling at the start of the year.
The Dutch-based brewer announced earlier this year that it planned to increase prices by an average of 6p a unit and reportedly blamed "prevailing economic conditions" following a 15 per cent fall in the value of sterling since the EU referendum.
A national newspaper reported that Amstel, Sol, Tiger and Kingfisher have disappeared from Tesco's shelves.
