Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC) has ditched eight classic British cask beers this year. The decision went down badly with real ale enthusiasts and fans loyal to the brand. The Campaign for Real Ale was the first to spot the de-listing, slamming the decision as "another example of a globally owned business wiping out UK brewing heritage".
They said: "I hope that this change will mean space on the bar for licensees to stock guest beers from local independent breweries, but realistically, I suspect this isn't what CMBC plans. "This loss of consumer choice is the inevitable outcome of a brewing conglomerate run by accountants and the bottom line.".
The beers axed included:. At the time, fans took to social media to share their devastation, with one writing: "I am boycotting all of these mega-corporations like Marstons.". The manufacturer has confirmed that the beers will be discontinued at the end of December, so you may see them disappear over the Christmas period.
