The name ‘Spindrift’ comes from a British term for the spray blown from cresting waves during a gale and is so called due to its drifting in the direction of the gale. An appropriate name for this modern ale produced at a seaside brewery and designed to be served chilled.

The emerald blue bottle has silver livery and the neck features the curl of a breaking wave with spray being blown black from its crest.

Brewed with malted barley and wheat and hopped with English hedgerow and other aromatic hops.
