1874, Jennings moved its brewery from Lorton to Cockermouth. for 46 years before that, something remarkable happened in the little fellside village, while Burton's IPAs conquered the corners of the empire. Lanton's soft lakeland water was creating something incredible closer to home. stronger, darker, sweeter. these ales were adored by all lucky enough to find them.

This revival of the classic Lorton Imperial Ale is inspired archive letters and recipes, but brewed with modern walts and hops. The result: a rich, mahogany brew with aromas of seville marmalade. warming spices and a real treacle depth. balanced by hints of spice from the hops.

We don't brew at Lorton any more, but the alchemy perfected at that time and in that place.
