Horninglow No.2 celebrates a style that boosted the Midlands brewing town of Burton Upon Trent long before John Marston established the Horninglow Brewery in 1834.
In the 18th Century stout was at the height of its popularity in a rapidly industrialising England. It was reputedly favoured by Russia’s Tzars, Peter The Great and Catherine The Great, earning the strong, dark brews their ‘Imperial’ moniker.
The burgeoning Baltic trade combined with a newly navigable route from Burton to the Baltic via the Trent allowed Burton brewers to really scale up. Without a successful Baltic trade, it could be argued that Marston’s might never have been established.
