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 M&S Stratford and drunk at home. More of a golden bitter. Very traditional, very English. Some ok tasty malt some English hops. The kind of quenching beer you would enjoy after a long walk in the Lake District and then have a pint of this in the pub. In the bottle it’s fine, no effects of pasteurisation. The kind of beer I grew up on. Tasty though.

Thnx to Adam and Anna! Pours clear blonde, small white head.Smell is full-on malty, yeasty, typical english - which I like . Taste is bitter, with a crispy undertone as well as some lager-like qualities - in a good way . Full on maltyness in the aftertaste. Quite a good one ! Like a pils in the best way imaginable.
