Description
2005 saw the acquisition of Jennings Brewery by Marston’s PLC.

In 2009, the Cockermouth floods had a huge impact on the business and the site, forcing Marston’s to implement flood safety features and barricades throughout the site. A few short years after the floods, brewing transferred out of the town and a mass rebrand occurred.

Marston's retrained ownership of the brewery (through Carlsberg UK) until it closed its doors in November 2022

Bottle at home. Pours deep golden with thick, quickly disappearing head. Nose is faint grains and some moderate bitterness. In taste it's extremely similar to a pilsner, perhaps a little bit too flowery (by macro measures at least) for that, but similarly bitter and altogether quite lager-like. Light bodied and easy to drink. Huge meh.

Clear copper pour, medium white head. Your basic bitter, aroma of soft bready malts, some pungent goldings and fuggles, and some soft minerals. The finish is more of the same. Medium bitterness pungent hops. Pretty basic.
