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. Dark chestnut colour. Large, big-bubbled, stable head. Very malty flavour, but also quite sour. The flavour also has some fruitiness, but the sourness and bitterness overpower ir. Very roasted aftertaste with barley bitterness.
