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

Bottled (thanks tbone_!). Copperish golden colour, mediumsized white creamy head, lacing. Aroma while pouring was very much cooked vegetables. When settled in the beerglass it’s woody, honeyish, sweet fruity with some notes of cooked vegetables underneath. Flavour is sweet malts with spices and hops coming in. Quite watery and empty.
