About this investor
Carlsberg's UK beer business combines international lagers with British ale brands including Hobgoblin, Pedigree and Wainwright. The former Marston's brewing joint venture is now wholly Carlsberg-owned. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Carlsberg acquired Marston's remaining 40% interest on 31 July 2024; the older 60/40 joint-venture split is historical. Marston's plc's pubs are separate. The UK business now trades as Carlsberg Britvic. Ringwood brewery closure did not itself dispose of retained beer brands. Jennings returned to independent ownership in 2025 and is excluded. Brooklyn is included only for territorial brand rights in Carlsberg markets, not as a wholly owned brewery. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
