Sample ale on a tour of Jennings Brewery
At the foot of Cockermouth Castle lies this brewery that has been churning out beer for more than 180 years, and still employs the same traditional methods it used in the 19th century. It stands at the meeting point of the River Cocker and River Derwent, whose pure waters supplying the castle well help to give Jennings ales their distinct flavour.
