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

Cask pint at the Sand Martin (a Marston’s pub), Cardiff. Jennings was not mentioned on the pump clip, but the bartender said they were the brewery. Deep golden colour, moderate and lasting creamy white head. Malty and slightly nutty flavour, tolerable English hops and a hint of malt vinegar in the finish.
