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

Cask at Borrowdale Youth Hostel. Deep gold with a thick white head. Dusty at first, develops a decent sweet berry and lemon flavour before a mildly dry, mildly bitter finish. Overall just OK.

Cask pint in a Blackpool Wetherspoons on 8th Sep 2016. Clean and clear golden body, full white head. Decent enough blend without actually having any real aromas or flavours. So, nothing special and nothing upsetting for the palate, nose or eyes.
