Gloucester will stop selling a beer owned by two former Saracens players.

The club announced that they will dispose their stocks of the Wolfpack Lager “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

The craft lager is the brainchild of former USA international Chris Wyles and ex-Springboks lock Alistair Hargreaves, who named it after the Wolfpack mantra at Saracens.

It comes after Saracens were found guilty of breaching salary cap rules by Premiership Rugby this week for failing to disclose payments to players and exceeding the limit in the last three seasons, which has seen them handed a suspended 35-point deduction and £5.36million fine.

Before Gloucester confirmed that they would no longer be selling the product one fan asked chief executive Lance Bradley on Twitter: “with the Saracens announcement this week, can we remove @Wolfpack_Lager from the bar at Kingsholm? Please!”

Bradley responded by saying: “Yes. We made that decision yesterday. We will sell the stock we currently have and then replace it with a different lager.”

The decision has caused a big reaction with over 100 replies, 83 retweets and over 500 likes on Twitter at the time of writing.

Former Gloucester and Saracens lock Jim Hamilton was among those to respond, saying: “What’s the reason?”

Premiership Rugby undertook a nine-month investigation into Saracens after reports emerged that owner Nigel Wray invested in a number of businesses with current and former players.

Gloucester meet Saracens in the Premiership on Saturday and Wolfpack lager will be sold at the reduced price of £3.50 in order to get rid of the remaining stock.
