About
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

Cumberland from Jennings (Marston's)

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
500 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a medium sized white head. Weak aroma of pale malt and some fruit. Flavor is light, pale malt, some kind of general fruit, a touch of white sugar and low bitterness. Medium body and weak aftertaste. Drinkable and some kind of refreshing, this one gives me a feeling of ordering any kind of golden ale at a British traditional pub and being lucky to get one without diacetyl. Nothing extra, but no faults.

Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Shared with Marko and hrabren. Dark golden coloured, small off-white head, slightly sulphury nose. Water with notes of sulphur or similar chemical compound with touch of caramel and herbs. Something is wrong here...

0.5 l bottle from Pivoteka Zagreb. Shared with Marko and Ogi. Clear golden, almost invisible off white head. Industrial malts and hops, watery. No distinct taste, no finish. Like a watered down soup cooked in dirty water or something. Terrible.

Shared with Ogivlado and Hrabren. Golden body. Smells burnt... matches. Burnt hay. Something like that. Sulphury, cabbage. Oh, and malt. What the.... Burnt apple taste. Sweetish, vaguely bitter, vaguely sulphury... unappealing. Saved by a tiny touch of lemon pith. Oh great...
