The French tipple, described as refreshing, crisp and golden with floral notes, costs £3.99 at the vast majority of Spoons pubs.

Punters can also get it for £3.20 at most branches on Mondays through the Monday Club deal, which it brought back last May.

Bear in mind, prices may vary depending on which pub you go to. You can find your nearest via jdwetherspoon.com/pub-search.

Wetherspoons confirmed the Kronenbourg beer has been added to menus permanently.

Plenty of punters have taken to Facebook in recent days buzzing about the ale being added to pumps.

One said: “Great stuff. I miss 1664 being on tap. You can’t get it anywhere now round my way.”

Another said: “Lovely lager is 1664.”

Meanwhile, a third commented: “A good move IMO (in my opinion). Kronenbourg’s a good lager.”

And a fourth simply added: “YAY.”

The latest announcement comes after Spoons slashed the price of 30 real ales as part of its Spring Beer Festival.

The annual festival runs from March 5 to March 16, offering punters the chance to try some never-before-seen international beers.

Prices start from £1.69, but some pubs may charge you £1.99 or £2.49 a pint.

Customers can choose from The Wallaby, from Australia, or the Estuary Session Ales, a Canadian tipple.

There’s also a chocolate porter from Italy and “Hey Pal” from the USA.

Spoons also recently shook up its food menu, introducing a £2.99 breakfast deal for customers last month.

You can choose from a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with a soft or hot drink.

There are also veggie options available, which is served between 8am and midday.

Meanwhile tea and toast, which comes with two slices and either jam or marmalade, is just £2.49.

WETHERSPOONS HIKES PRICES

The Sun exclusively revealed in January Spoons had upped the price of a host of popular drinks and menu items across its pubs.

The chain hiked prices on drinks by 15p while meal deals were bumped up by 30p.

The price rises saw the cost of a Guinness at the London and South Western branch in south west London go from £4.66 to £4.81.

Meanwhile, the price of a Strongbow increased from £3.24 to £3.39.

The average price of a meal deal at Spoons without an alcoholic drink was £4.99 and with a drink was £6.52 before the change.

But the 30p rise means they now cost £5.29 and £6.82, respectively.

Spoons said a number of drinks had not gone up in price, including all draught lagers such as Budweiser, Carling and Coors.

Boss Tim Martin said: “Wetherspoon has always tried to remain as competitive as possible.

“We hope that our prices will still be reasonable in spite of these increases.”
