Marstons Share Price (MARS)

FD,,,,dont forget Mansfield brewery,i worked there 30 years and when marstons (W&D) took over and closed it,they tried brewing mansfield bitter at burton,and yes there was a difference

Having closed Wychwood Brewery, Jenning and Ringwood. All Marstons Breweries, does it make sense?

Wychwood brewed one of the best beers in Hogoblin which may have transferred to Northampton or Burton. Many say the brew does not taste the same, maybe it is the water, which historically has influenced the taste and flavour of local brews.

I would suggest buying up Adnams. A family run and owned business that producers good beer and wine. Like the Marston offering I also like the Adnam's Ghost Ship low alcohol beer. Infact me I would rather they had Adnams than Green King. ATB.

Marston did not have any interest before in the Carlsberg Brewery but they do now hold 40% as part part of the JV.

On their Website we can now see they are operating out of the Old Marston Brewery at Burton On Trent, What they call the old Bank's brewery at Wolverhampton, and the Carlsberg Brewery at Northampton. To me this makes the JV worthwhile, as the trend has been towards younger people drinking Lager. So we have a traditional Lager Brewer and a British Beer maker together in a JV. I am happy with this.

It may be simple as was my question. Do you beleive Carlsberg have included their established Brands in the JV agreement?.

I have the agreement ( a lengthy document) and will peruse over the weekend, given time.
