Description
Jennings is back! Brewing independently and, once again, family owned and brewing in Cumbria.

The brewery is now there again, at the foot of Cockermouth Castle, surrounded by the River Derwent and the River Cocker. This water source is integral to our brewing, as our water is drawn direct from the castle well. This pure, Lakeland water, is considered our secret ingredient and gives Jennings beer its distinctive Cumberland flavour.

This listing is for beers produce by the independent brewery from Summer 2025
