Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (CMBC) announced its proposal to close the brewery in Wolverhampton next autumn 2025, as part of a restructuring of its brewery network.

Paul Davies, CEO of CMBC, said: “This has been an extremely difficult decision, however it has been necessary to restructure our business to maintain our competitiveness in a challenging UK beer market."

The proposed restructuring comes in response to the decision by Mahou San Miguel not to renew its long-term exclusive licence partnership from 2025 and the decline of cask ale volumes over several years.
