Known for Pale Lager

Carling is a lager brand of Canadian origin that reached the United Kingdom in 1952 and was sold there as Carling Black Label until 1997. Today it belongs to Molson Coors, and the beer for the British market is brewed in Burton upon Trent with British barley. The core of the range is the standard lager, joined by the nitrogenated Carling Premier, a smoother and somewhat stronger version. A separate, stronger Carling Black Label has since brought the old name back to British shelves.

Only what these two beers agree on — a full signature needs at least three.

Two beers isn't enough to tell how they differ from comparable breweries.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
