British beer lovers brewing beer for British beer lovers.
Englishman William Worthington began brewing in Burton on Trent in 1744 and his fellow countryman William Bass started brewing in the town in 1777.
Devoted to bringing the world great beer.
Burton brewers saw the potential for beer brewing as a global business, dispatching British ales to St. Petersburg, Russia, the Baltics, and North America. In 1877, four years after the Adolph Coors Company had set up shop across the Atlantic, the Bass brewery was turning out more than a million barrels a year.
Turning the science of brewing into an art. In 1926, the Bass and Worthington breweries merged to create Bass Brewers. In 1954, Bass Brewers launched Carling Black Label, the beer that would eventually become the U.K.'s best selling beer brand. In 1998, Carling Black Label was reintroduced as simply Carling.
A global brewer with a global commitment to quality.
The company is the U.K.’s second largest brewer and its portfolio of brands includes the best selling Carling, Coors Light and Worthington’s. Molson Coors UK owns three brewing facilities and employs 2,300 in the U.K. In 2011 Molson Coors began transformation of its Burton Brewery by investing an additional £15 million per year for the next five years as part of the global brewer’s Brewing Renaissance programme.
