Hensol Castle secures UK on-trade distribution deal with Molson Coors
In a statement, Hensol Castle Distillery said the nationwide deal is a 'significant step' in its growth beyond its south Wales and will make its spirits accessible to a 'broader on-trade audience'.
Initially, the tie-up will focus on gin and rum sold under the Hensol Castle brand and vodka and gin marketed under the Benjamin Hall brand.
Chris Leeke, managing director and co-founder of Hensol Castle Distillery, said the deal is a 'game-changer for us'.
He added: "Working with Molson Coors allows our spirits to reach new audiences and brings our castle-crafted quality to bars and restaurants right across the UK."
Molson Coors, the owner of brands including Carling and Staropramen, is one of the largest brewers operating in the country.
The UK is Hensol Castle Distillery's main market but it has distribution in Canada, Belgium and through travel retail.
In the UK, the distiller also supplies supermarket chains Tesco, Asda and Morrisons.
The company also offers a white-label service supplying retail and hospitality customers
Martin Anderson, a regional sales controller at Molson Coors, said: "We are excited to add Hensol Castle to our extensive on-trade distribution portfolio, bringing the unique offering of their portfolio to customers near and far."
"Hensol Castle secures UK on-trade distribution deal with Molson Coors " was originally created and published by Just Drinks, a GlobalData owned brand.

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: (1) US President Donald Trump called Vladimir Putin and urged the Russian leader to begin making plans for a summit with Volodymyr Zelenskiy, after meeting the Ukrainian president and European leaders at the White House on Monday. (2) The Trump administration is in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel Corp., according to a White House official and other people familiar with the matter, a move that could see the US become the beleaguered chipmaker's largest shareholder. (3) The yield on long-dated inflation-linked bonds surpassed the highs seen during the gilt-market meltdown three years ago, the latest unwanted market milestone for the UK government. (4) The Treasury is examining the possibility of replacing stamp duty and introducing a new tax on the sale of UK homes worth more than £500,000 ($676,000), according to the Guardian. (5) Apple will no longer be forced to provide a so-called backdoor to American users' data to the UK government, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in a post on X on Monday.

Petition against EV chargers as residents say parking spaces are 'already rammed'
RESIDENTS of Oak Road, Rogerstone, have launched a petition opposing the loss of parking spaces caused by Newport's electric vehicle (EV) charging scheme, which will introduce 98 new chargers across the city to support the Net Zero 2030 goal. Rodney Beacham, a resident of Oak Road, said: 'EV charging bays are wide, and we'll clearly lose space we can't afford to lose. 'It's already rammed here. We're going to see fewer spaces, and people from elsewhere could come here to charge in spots we used to park in.' Paul Griffiths, another resident, added: 'It's a ridiculous idea. They've made their decision without thinking about us. 'Parking is already constrained here. If they're encouraging others to park here, where are we going to park?' On the broader rollout, he said: 'Fewer than 100 spaces, what impact will that really have in the context of global carbon emissions? Why are they making our lives difficult just to achieve some token effort?' Newport City Council began installing EV chargers in April 2025 as part of its Net Zero plan. Rogerstone is among the first areas to receive the new infrastructure, with compact chargers fitted into existing streetlights to minimize disruption. The streetlight-style units, installed by Urban Fox, are designed to avoid the need for dedicated bays or pavement space. The council say the chargers will be placed in areas where driveways are scarce, aiming to provide practical options for residents considering electric vehicles. Rogerstone's inclusion reflects the council's goal of equitable access across Newport's communities. While the rollout has been welcomed by some, concerns persist about the impact on parking. Residents worry that converting bays to EV-only use could worsen parking pressures, especially in densely populated streets. The council has not yet released data on how many spaces will be affected throughout the Newport authority area. Chargers are operated by providers such as Dragon Charging and PodPoint. Users can access them via RFID cards or mobile apps, with costs varying by operator. Standard parking fees apply in off-street car parks. Newport also aims to meet national standards for inclusive infrastructure. The rollout in Rogerstone is seen as a step toward making EV ownership more viable for suburban residents. The success of the initiative will depend on balancing convenience, accessibility, and community impact. Newport City Council has stated the charging points will be among the first streetlight-style units installed in Wales. A spokesman said: 'These charging points will be installed on streets where homes lack off-street parking, such as driveways or garages. 'They're ideal for residential areas, allowing us to expand the network without taking up valuable street space.'
