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 from Home Bargains. Clear gold with small white head; pretty standard but looks ok. Aroma of artificial strawberry, metal, some light dusty hop; doesn't bode well. Taste of pale malt with a hint of confected strawberry becoming tangy near the finish, dust, reasonable bittering hops at the end. Easy drinking to be fair. Light bodied, dry. Tastes better than the aroma suggested. Not great though.

Clear deep gold with a frothy / creamy white head and a cereal aroma. There's a little kick of bitterness ahead of a light malt and fruity taste
