The new increase will be applied to all drinks produced by the company including Heineken, Coors, Birra Moretti, Tiger, Orchard Thieves, Murphy's and Beamish.

A pint will now set you back an extra 7c approximately, depending on the brand, averaging a 3.1% increase as Heineken Ireland said it "continues to face cost increases".

In a statement, a spokesperson said that while the company is "committed to finding and acting on ways to reduce costs, we unfortunately need to amend our pricing.

"A blended 3.1% increase will take effect from February 16, 2026, across our draught product range.

"As strong supporters of the on-trade market we will continue to invest in a range of supports that meet our customer and consumer needs."

It's believed pubs across Ireland will be charged the new prices on any deliveries made on or after that date but as an independent business, publicans can decide whether to charge customers the new increase at their own discretion.
