Jennings (Marston's)
Regional Brewery
in Cockermouth,
Cumbria,
England 🏴
Owned by
Carlsberg Britvic
Established in 2005
Closed in 2022
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

500ml bottle. Golden beer, whit head. Nice slightly yeasty creamy aroma, cut grass. Good brisk bittery hops, some citrus then drying finish. For a golden beer, bitterness dominates than the normal citrus flavours. Not a lot of fruit but extremely bitter. Not bad at all and would like to try the cask version.

Cask at Yew & Ewe, Brookland, Kent Mid brown beer which I kind of quite like and will normally have a pint if I see it on. It has some interesting malty tones to it, but has enough hops to keep it balanced
