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

500ml bottle; BB 30th Apr 2019. Shared during a tasting session (between four) on 16th Dec 2018. Blush blonde body, weak white crown. Aroma and taste dominated by strawberries, late on a raspberry tartness appears. A lot better than I expected to be honest.
