About Carling
Carling is one of Britain's most iconic lager brands, brewed in Burton-on-Trent and owned by Molson Coors. The brand's origins trace back to 1840 when Thomas Carling, a Yorkshire farmer who emigrated to Canada, began brewing ale in London, Ontario that he sold from a wheelbarrow to local soldiers. Carling lager was first introduced to the UK market in 1952 through a joint venture that eventually became Bass Charington. By the early 1980s, Carling had become the UK's most popular beer by volume sold, a position it maintained for decades until 2024 when Birra Moretti overtook it as consumers shifted toward artisanal alternatives. As Molson Coors' flagship UK lager brand, Carling Original Lager is known for its refreshing, crisp taste and accessibility. Available in various pack sizes including 10-packs and 18-packs of 440ml cans, Carling remains a staple at pubs, barbecues, and social gatherings across Britain. Grocefully helps UK shoppers compare Carling prices across supermarkets, ensuring you find the best value on this British lager institution.
