Carling Original Lager

Carling is a historic beer brand with deep roots in North American and British brewing history. Originally founded in 1840 by Thomas Carling in London, Upper Canada (present-day Ontario), the brand eventually expanded to the United Kingdom, where it became the nation's best-selling lager. Its primary production hub in the UK is located in Burton-on-Trent, which is renowned for its brewing heritage.

Today, Carling is owned by Molson Coors Beverage Company, a multinational giant formed through the merger of various historic brewing identities. While the brand maintains a strong British identity and is produced using 100% British barley, its corporate parent is headquartered in the United States and Canada. Molson Coors manages Carling through its regional subsidiary, Molson Coors Brewing Company (UK) Ltd, ensuring that the lager remains a staple in British pubs and retailers.
