The name comes from ‘Cock-a Hoop’ which is the act of removing the spigot/cock from the barrel and putting it on the hoop of a cask before drinking. This was then changed to ‘cocker’ to reflect the Brewery’s location, along the river Cocker in Cockermouth, Cumbria.

A renowned pale golden bitter brewed with Jennings well water, Maris Otter Pale malt, and a blend of wheat and oats to create the crisp golden colour and deep head. Goldings hops provide a subtle spicy bitterness and Celeia hops provide a noble floral citrus aroma. First brewed 30 years ago, this classic Golden Ale looks set to become a firm favourite once again.
