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

500ml bottle - Deep russet body, thin white head. Nose is a little nondescript, some maltiness, some caramel, a bit of nuttiness. Taste picks up a little, some bitterness, a bit of toffee, some sour fruits, with a long bitter finish. Not bad really.
