John Marston, a man of good Shropshire family and son of John Marston, a member of the Middle Temple, was probably born, and certainly educated, in Coventry.
Marston began his literary career as a satirist, changed his muse and entered the dramatic field in the last year of the sixteenth century, but deserted the theatre for the church in 1607.
Marston was thus faithful to the sentiment which, in derision of the ambition of most poets, induced him, in his earlier life, to dedicate his works to forgetfulness.
Marston's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (312 words)
In 1999, Marston's was acquired by Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries PLC.
Marston's is also the only remaining brewer to use Burton Union Sets; a system whereby fermentation barrels and troughs are linked together by a complex system of copper and brass pipework.
Typically Marston's uses the standard combination of Maris Otter barley and Fuggles and Goldings hops.
