Jennings Sneck Lifter
A dark beer with a reddish tinge, derived from the use of coloured malts, perfectly balanced with specially-formulated brewing sugars and English aromatic hops.
A strong satisfying ale, wonderfully warming and full of complex flavours which create an intriguing beer of great character.
First introduced in 1990 as a winter warmer, and has become a firm favourite in the portfolio.
Award-winning beer, recently receiving a bronze at the Brewry Industry International Awards held in Munich.
What's in a name?
In northern dialect 'sneck' means door latch, and the 'sneck lifter' was a man's last sixpence which enabled him to lift the latch of a pub door and buy himself a pint, hoping to meet friends there who might treat him to one or two more.
Tasting notes
A very individual style of beer - that has a fullness of flavour created by the chocolate and amber malt. A rich full-bodied ale with a good mouth feel. Easy to drink, but beware at 5.1% ABV.
