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

0,5 bottle in Kosovo, courtesy of an English colleague. Pours golden-orange, clear. Medium tick frothy head, white and creamy. Nose: chicory, basic lager notes, some malts far away. Mouth: distinguishable bitterness which embraces the palate, maltiness and nothing more. Good to go for sessions, but nothing new.

Cask at the Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is malt, yeast and lots of badness. The flavour is light bitter with a light watery malt yeasty, light medicinal palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Way too light and lacks body. It was approaching the end of the cask too.

Bottle from the Spar. Appearance - dark amber with some red chinks. Nicely proportioned head. Nose - honeycomb some smoke and some chocolate biscuit. Taste - toffee and burnt biscuit. Palate - medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - quite gnarly but good complexity.

500ml bottle from a local Tesco store. Lasting, frothy beige head leaving spotty lacing to the glassware. Clear dark brown body colour. Malt driven aromas, mid-sweet. Dark malty flavours, hints of liquorice, caramel, and ash. Mild roasted bitterness to a prolonged ending. Fine bodied. Nice, a bit unvaried though (hotel room at Leeds University Campus 08.07.2014).

50cl bottle from the Spar. Appearance - golden with some head which then quickly disappears. Nose - unfortunately the first thing i get is butterscotch. Then some toffee and a light citrus nite comes through. Taste - caramel and lemon. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a decent finish considering the richness at the beginning. Overall - not like the typical blondes I’m used to drinking.
