History

Burton-on-Trent was the engine room for brewing in the 19th century, with 26 brewers and 20 cooperages.

The secret of Burton's brewing success lies in it's water, the perfect blend for brewing bitter with its unique combination of sulphur, calcium, magnesium and low sodium levels.

John Marstons made his first uncompromising decision when he chose Burton as the place for his brewery in 1834.

The tradition of not compromising still continues today with Marston's being the only brewer in the UK to still employ coopers and use the Burton Union System.
