Des Gallagher, Managing Director of Matthew Clark (Scotland) has announced that Molson Coors brands will increase in price from March 9 although it’s craft beer range will be exempt from any increases. He said, “’As distributor of Molson Coors brands in Scotland, we are conscious of the ongoing pressures facing our customers and have tried to keep our price increase to an absolute minimum. Carling (11 Gal) will increase by £2.75 per keg with effect from March 9th, which is the first increase since 2013, and we believe to be the lowest Brewers increase on standard lager brands in Scotland. Our other brands in the Molson Coors portfolio, will increase proportionally, with no increase being applied on our Molson Coors draught ‘Craft’ range.”
He continues, ““Working in partnership with Molson Coors, we have exciting plans for the brands in the year ahead, geared to supporting our customers and driving consumer footfall, via a range of innovative outlet activities.”
