Exploring Britain's Highest-Selling Beer Brands

John Smith's

Seventh place goes to John Smith's Extra Smooth, which was first launched way back in 1928 by Tadcaster Brewery (founded 1758). This smooth, low-ABV beer managed to pull down £44m last year.

Grolsch

Grolsch takes eighth place on our list – a Dutch pilsner originating way back in 1615 when Willem Neerfeldt established his brewery near Groenlo, Netherlands. Grolsch is 5% ABV pilsner that manages annual sales figures totaling around £41m.

Staropramen

Taking ninth place we have Staropramen Premium Czech Lager – first produced by Budejovicky Mestansky Pivovar brewery (founded in 1869) and now owned by Asahi Group Holdings Ltd since 2012. The company produces around 80m litres per annum amounting to nearly 218m units sold.

Becks

Finally completing our top ten is Becks Vier Premium German Pilsner – another offering from Asahi Group Holdings Ltd who produce around 39m liters every year of this popular brand.      

So, there you have it – Britain's ten most popular beer brands according to estimated units consumed and revenue earned. Many of these beers have also won accolades due to their high quality as well. Of course, this list could easily change over the next few years, with the recent influx of Italian and Spanish beers onto the market such as Moretti, Peroni and Madri. So, keep your eyes peeled for when this list is updated next.
