An award winning beer, a strong, satisfying ale, wonderfully warming and full of complex flavours, which create an intriguing beer of great character.
This dark beer with a reddish tinge, derived from the use of coloured malts, perfectly balanced with specially formulated brewing sugars and English aromatic hops.
First introduced in 1990 as a winter warmer, Jennings Sneck Lifter has become a firm favourite in the portfolio.
In northern dialect sneck means door latch and a sneck lifter was a man’s last sixpence which enabled him to lift the latch of a pub door and buy himself a pint, hoping to meet friends there who might treat him to one or two more.

Mahogony brown color with faint tinges of red. Bananas, apples, toffee, slightly vinous nose. Wood, cherries, peaches and cream, very smooth, slightly sweet mouth. Lingering milk chocolate, woody finish. A bit too dry in the finish, but still great stuff.
