Marston's Old Empire IPA 500ml

Marston’S Brewery was founded in 1834 at the Horningblow Brewery in Burton-on-Trent, England as the brainchild of brewer John Marston.

In 1898, following a merger with John Thompson and Son Ltd, the brewing moved across town to the Albion Brewery where it became famous for its use of the Burton Union system, a traditional fermenting apparatus based on fermentation in oak barrels. The brewery claims that this system adorns Marstons’s ale with a distinctive signature fruity dryness and accentuates the renowned sulphurous “Burton Snatch” aroma.

The brewery was on-sold to Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries in 1999, and is now Britain’s largest independent brewing group. The beers are famed for their full, rich flavours and enjoyed all over the world.

Old Empire is a memorable and deceptively easy-drinking IPA. This is an authentic recreation of the beer style created for, and enjoyed throughout, the Empire. Goldings, Fuggles and American Cascade hops combine to give a crisp, citrus hop aroma, with a balanced, bittersweet finish. 5.7% abv.

Fantastic value at this price. Be quick!
