The drinks firm Diageo is reportedly planning to impose a 2% price hike that could put an extra 10 cents on the cost of a pint of Guinness.

Reports this morning say the company is planning the move in response to the rising cost of raw materials.

The price increase would also affect other Diageo-owned brands like Budweiser, Carlsberg, Smithwicks and Harp, as well as Smirnoff vodka, Bailey's and Johnnie Walker whiskey.
