A widespread shortage of beer has been reported in the Ashanti Region due to the Christmas festivities celebrations.

According to 3news.com, drink operators have reported a shortage of Mini Club beer in parts of the Ashanti Region over the past two months.

An unusual increase in demand for the beverage by residents has caused frustration among bar and pub operators, who struggled to meet the high demand from their customers.

Many of them have gradually become accustomed to seeing empty shelves in their bars.
