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

Cask: Deep golden, smaller white fluffy head; "woody" hops and a vinous fruitiness in the nose, a bit "corky", too; dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; the same flavours dominate the dry bitter-sweet flavours. O.K., nothing to complain.....

A touch of maltiness comes through both in the aroma and in the taste. A plain beer but in no way unpleasant.
