History
[edit]I'm a little confused/surprised with the Canadian origin - at some point the UK drink Carling (Black Label) was owned by Bass, then sold off to Coors when Interbrew bought it in 2000, as detailed on the Bass page. Two Carlings?? or has ownership passed over the Atlantic more than once? Paulbrock 00:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Carling in the U.S.
[edit]Carling was sold for many years in the U.S. and I seem to remember corporate sponsorship of something called the Carling Conservation Club. Dalriata (talk) 01:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I think you can buy Carling Black Label in Minnesota as well; I saw it just a week ago at a liquor store in Minneapolis. 75.27.208.38 (talk) 19:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I have seen Carling Black Label in the United States. Can't remember if it was US brewed or Canadian import. tim in Canada —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.225.122 (talk) 21:25, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
I can remember drinking Carlings Black Label in my early years in Cincinnati, Ohio —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.102.93.82 (talk) 05:57, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Australia?
[edit]I have never seen this beer in Australia. Mustard Pot (talk) 03:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Poor Lay-out
[edit]Is the lay-out of this page not pretty poor? It seems to be told like a story, and it's a confusing order chronologically —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.154.22.74 (talk) 08:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Not only is the page poorly laid out, it is poorly written. It repeats itself, and in several places sounds like it was written by Molson Coors marketing people. It gives little in the way of history, ie, how did it come to be that it became well-known in the "former British Empire", and when. In Canada it was for a long time a very minor brand, considered a niche market for old men (as was Red Cap, which was originally brewed by Carling too) when all of a sudden it became hip. It was one of those things where everyone started drinking it because nobody had been drinking it. Thirty years ago, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bar in Canada that carried it. Tim in Canada —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.225.122 (talk) 21:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. It remains a poorly written and unreferenced mess. --Ef80 (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
carling festival reading and leeds UK
[edit]until 2007 carling was the sponsor and title head of the twin music festivals in Britain, the Leeds branch ran i think from 1999, but reading has been going since the 70s, although i assume the carling sponsorship is more recent. I'm fairly sure that carling at least sponsored Leeds from the start, and they were known officially, as the Carling weekend, Reading/Leeds, it may be worth including this as it seems a notable point in the companies history. sorry i have no real idea of how to put together a piece so I'll let someone else do it, as it needs research. hope this helps.
p.s. i agree with the other post, the article does need rewriting anyway, it's very much a linear story, than an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.56.12 (talk) 18:57, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]Black Label
[edit]The Black Label article is about exactly the same topic, and this article seems like the right place to put the info to me: the brand is called "Carling" in the UK, and "Carling Black Label" in some other places. --Slashme (talk) 14:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- Agree. But there are several "Carling" brands (see revision history - this info should be restored), so the intro should not make Black Label the primary focus. The history section should also include info on the independent brewery before it became Carling O'Keefe. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 16:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree. There are several different Carling brands of which Black Label is only one so it is better to keep it separate.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:32, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Carling Black Label and Carling are exactly the same. 82.43.52.147 (talk) 20:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Carling O'Keefe
[edit]I'm not sure about whether this article should be merged: the one is about a brewery, the other is about a brand owned by a different company. --Slashme (talk) 14:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose - the Carling article is about the Molson brand, once owned by Carling O'Keefe, but they made many other beer brands as well. In stead of merging, the articles should have clearer focus and expanded histories (especially Carling O'Keefe, which has a long separate history before bought by Molson). -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 16:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
- disagree with merger proposal -- however, a lot of info on John Carling could be excised, and placed in the John Carling article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Feldercarb (talk • contribs) 21:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to keep Carling, add O'Keefe, keep Carling O'Keefe. I suppose I grew up in the Carling O'Keefe era. Feldercarb (talk) 04:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose, a Disambiguation page would fit better. 82.43.52.147 (talk) 20:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

"Ireland" doesn't need "the"
[edit]In the Ireland and the United Kingdom the same beer has been sold as Carling (without 'black label') since 1997
Ireland doesn't need "the" in front of it. NotYourFathersOldsmobile (talk) 22:57, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Snakebite
[edit]Have you ever thought about doing a snakebite drinks brand ,you sell lager and cider ,why not make a new brand of drinks ,mixing the two,for my idea I'd like some royalty and small payment, just thinking there's no market in making snakebite in a can ,bottle, or even cask u could make many versions ie like start with plain snakebite just normal cider and lager ,and for versions reasons do snakebite, but with dark fruit calling it black mamber ,or lager with pear calling it rattle snake ,the possibility are endless, ill save my message, just a poor person trying to find a way to live better, thanks shane yapp . If you think my ideas worth exploring call me on 07709835051 thanks 2A00:23C7:CA8A:6D01:2029:B7B5:641D:EE4D (talk) 23:46, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
