Burton is set to make an appearance on our TV screens next week as a top show will be taking a look into the brewing heritage in the town.

The BBC Two show, Inside the Factory, paid a visit to Britain's biggest brewery, located in the town, while learning about the brewing process and why Burton has become world famous for its beer.

It will see Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace and television presenter Cherry Healey visit the town made famous for brewing, Burton Live reports.

The BBC has not revealed which brewery they have visited but in a teaser played at the end of this week's episode, hundreds of Carling cans could be seen in production - which is brewed at Molson Coors.

The presenters will be taking a peek behind the curtain at the brewery including watching the machine that can fill 165 cans full of beer in just 5.5 seconds.

Experts from the brewery will also be sharing their secrets on brewing a perfect pint in a scientific study which shows drinking beer from a curved glass can make it feel fruitier, while a frothy head and higher temperature can improve flavour.

Describing the show, a BBC spokesman said: "Gregg Wallace is in Burton upon Trent at Britain's biggest brewery, where they produce three million pints of beer a day.

"Meanwhile, Cherry Healey is learning how four basic ingredients - water, malted barley, hops and yeast - can be manipulated to make dark, heavy ales, light, fragrant lagers and everything in between.

"Historian Ruth Goodman is asking why Burton became the centre of brewing in Britain in the 19th century.

"The answer is that it is all in the water. The hard water there was perfect for brewing flavourful stouts and porters.

"She is also finding out how beer got its stereotypical blokey reputation, despite the fact that brewing was traditionally a female tradition."

The area has already been featured on the BBC Two show, as last year, the Nestle factory in Hatton took centre stage on the programme as the team looked into the complex production of coffee.

It comes after the town was featured in the newest Carling advert which features a view of the Molson Coors brewery, where Carling lager is brewed in Station Street, as well as a panning view crossing the picturesque River Trent including Burton Bridge and Burton Rowing Club.

It has a voice over talking about Burton being the "most famous brewing town in the country" and that staff feel part of a "really, really big family".

Inside the Factory will air on BBC Two on Tuesday, March 12, at 8pm.
