The Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC) has stopped selling its Pedigree as a bottle-conditioned beer due to declining sales and rising costs.
A CMBC spokesperson said: “CMBC takes pride in brewing our beers to the very highest standards. The recipe for brewing Marston’s Pedigree has not been changed, and in all other ways this is the same, excellent ale that drinkers have enjoyed for over 70 years.
“Bottle-conditioning is technically complex and, as the demand for bottle-conditioned beer has declined and the challenges associated with production have increased, it has become no longer viable to continue to bottle-condition Marston’s Pedigree.”
“Fortunately, many other brewers across the UK still embrace bottle conditioning, and CAMRA’s One to Try scheme helps consumers identify these brews.”
