Recovering from the horrendous floods of late 2009 took great courage and stamina, but Jennings and its strong team pulled through. Other Lakes breweries helped out where they could to ensure local pubs didn't run dry. The news of both the brewery's reopening and tours beginning again was greeted with a cheer. For this is a regular staple on the itinerary of those visiting the Lake District.
Originally established by John Jennings in 1826, it landed at its current site in the shadow of Cockermouth Castle and near where rivers Cocker and Derwent meet in 1874. Take the tour to see how brewing has continued since, using Lakeland water, Maris Otter malt, and Kent and Herefordshire hops. End up in The Old Cooperage bar to sample a few halves of its ales.
