Marston's Brewery

★ Award winningKnown for English IPA

Marston's has brewed in Burton upon Trent since 1834, when John Marston started at the Horninglow Brewery; in 1898 the business moved to the Albion Brewery on Shobnall Road, where it still operates. Its beers rest on well water drawn through gypsum-rich rock. For decades the flagship Pedigree fermented in Burton Unions, linked rows of oak casks; the last four working sets were retired in 2024 and one is kept on site as a showpiece. The brewery now belongs wholly to Carlsberg and is the group's only remaining site for cask ale.

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.
