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

From cask at Market Porter. Pours clear and golden orange to yellow witha small, dense and slight off-white head. Aroma is vague butterish to light caramelish. Mild ashtray like hops note, dry and grassy. Bitter and dry finish. Leaving a nice persisting lacing on the glass.
