In the mid-1980s Holsten became the UK’s number one selling premium packaged lager. Up until 1999, Holsten UK had been operated as a joint venture between Holsten Brauerei and S & N. In 1999 the joint venture was dissolved and Holsten UK took over responsibility for the on trade, followed in 2000 by the off trade.
