No doubt brewing many products at Banks, and serving them as 'guest beers'
in ex Ringwood pubs! Viz, Jennings Dark Mild recently at the Angel in Poole
at �3 a pint recently. For a 3.1% beer?!###.

Which doesn't actually say whether they have any damage. Are they
closed because they have water in the works or because the workers
can't get in?

Water in the works. :-(

Mess to clear up and no electricity.

Very positive though. Recalling beer stored elsewhere to serve the
locals, expect to get back to it as soon as poss.

Great Gable has trouble too. They were moving into new premises at
Egremont - but that has been flooded.

The Bitter End moved into new premises in Cockermouth, in an
industrial estate next to the Derwent, a few weeks ago, and have been
flooded but the brewer says it isn't too much - not very high. Just
can't get in because of power to electric doors.

Keswick brewery had a lucky escape - had to evacuate before getting
trapped - put all they could as high as they could, and left. Went
back to find it had reached the door but not gone in.

I was talking to a Marston's landlord today (Marston's of course are
the owners of Jennings these days). He, and no doubt many other
landlords, has had an e-mail from HQ asking them not to order any
Jennings' beer until further notice. The brewery is expected to be out
of action for about four months. Some of the beer that is in stock now
is going to be bottled.

Jennings' website now has pictures of the flooding: <http://

I was told by a Marston's director that they expect to be up and running in
eight weeks!
