Carlsberg-Tetley Brewing Ltd is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Wrexham MP, Martyn Jones over the future of Wrexham Lager. Carlsberg-Tetley will sell the brand into Trust under the care of Martyn Jones, for a nominal sum, in a bid to sustain the brand's future.

Commenting on the developments, Colin Povey, Chief Executive said: "All credit should go to Martyn Jones for his determination to keep the Wrexham lager project alive. I wish him success in his search for new backers, to help develop a viable business plan."

Martyn Jones added: "I welcome Carlsberg-Tetley's commitment towards ensuring that this cornerstone of Britain's lager brewing heritage can survive.

This agreement will provide Wrexham Lager with vital breathing space, as it offers the brand the possibility of continuing into the future under new ownership.

I will be actively seeking a new brewer - preferably with local connections - to offer Wrexham Lager the possibility of a new beginning."
