SALCOMBE BREWERY LAUNCH VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE BEER

After what feels like forever, most pubs have reopened and now that barbecues and picnics are in full flow, there's no better time for Salcombe Brewery to launch their vegan and gluten free pale ale, ‘Sun Drop’.  
 
Using a blend of American hops, ‘Sun Drop’ has a fruity, citrusy aroma of melon, orange and pink grapefruit, mmmm lovely!  It's absolutely guaranteed to pack a punch and quench the thirst.  Although proudly gluten free and vegan friendly, this dry-hopped ale is simply bursting with all the flavour you would expect from a regular ale.  Of course it is tops when drunk  on its own, but it is also delicious when served with food, including for example,  a sweet potato curry or barbequed marinated vegetables.  Ale lovers, you will be delighted, I promise.

Owner of Salcombe Brewery, John Tiner says, “We’ve spent a considerable time creating the perfect gluten free and vegan friendly beer using the finest ingredients. We want as many people as possible to enjoy our beer and ‘Sun Drop’ has made this possible. It’s been a difficult few months for the brewery industry and its trade customers; we’re delighted that pubs and restaurants are getting back to normal. We are very grateful to our household customers who have been extremely supportive by purchasing our beer and Ocean Cider from our online shop for nationwide delivery or making use of our free local delivery.”

●      Salcombe Brewery Co. was founded by John and Gerry Tiner in 2016. After 35 years of holidaying nearby, they decided to move to the area and soon discovered that the local area’s favourite beer, Shingle Bay, might be under threat.  They decided to set up a new brewery and acquire the recipe. 
 
●      John and Gerry had a vision to create a company ethos of an eco-friendly, locally supportive brewery producing a rich variety of mouth-watering beer. They secured investment nationally and internationally by shareholders who shared the same sense of belief in the high quality of the beer. 
 
●      The seahorse logo (isn't it lovely?) behind the brand of Salcombe Brewery Co. is representative of the fact that the Salcombe estuary is one of the few places in the UK you can find the rarer of the two species of seahorse! Inspired by local surroundings, Salcombe Brewery Co. takes pride in its local roots, which is reflected in the branding. Unique, fresh and contemporary, the seahorse is a seal of high quality represented by the beers.
 
●      SIBA award winning Island Street Porter is a hand crafted, sumptuous porter. Its blend of eight malts produce hints of dark chocolate, coffee and black cherry which, combined with British hops, creates an aroma reminiscent of Black Forest gateaux  (ABV 5.9%, 330ml bottles).
 
●      Salcombe Pale Ale is a fresh, full-bodied and powerfully hopped pale ale.  Its orange, pink grapefruit and anise flavour raises a glass to Salcombe’s 19th century fruit trade.  Dry hopped with Summit and Simcoe for a robust, complex beer that’s bursting with flavour (ABV 4.6%, 330ml bottles). 
 
●      Devon Amber is, as you might expect, an amber coloured classic best bitter from Devon. This easy drinking malt driven bitter has a dry, yet sweet aftertaste (ABV 3.8%, 9,18 & 36 pint bag-in boxes and 500ml bottles).
 
●      Seahorse is another amber coloured  ale with a name which reflects the fact that the Salcombe estuary is a breeding ground for two species of seahorse.  This sweet,  smooth ale has a gentle spicy hop character with hints of burnt toffee, caramel and a smoked malty finish - yum. (ABV 4.4%, 9,18 & 36 pint bag-in boxes and 500ml bottles).
 
●      Lifesaver is a bronze coloured ale with a pleasant malty flavour  and added smack of citrus and orange peel. The initial citrus flavour gently fades into a subtle liquorice and toffee character with a floral finish (ABV 4.8%, 9,18 & 36 pint bag-in boxes and 500ml bottles).
 
●      Shingle Bay is a delightfully easy drinking golden ale with a pleasant fruity aroma and a subtle crisp bite. The use of the pacific gem hop adds a complexity to the aroma with notes of blackberry and spiced fruit (ABV 4.2%,9,18 & 36 pint bag-in boxes and 500ml bottles).
 
●      Salcombe Gold is a light harvest gold ale with a long hoppy finish. Using some of the best hops the USA has to offer in Citra, Amarillo and Chinook, results in a citrus driven aroma and flavour supported by hints of melon, apricot and peach (ABV 4.2%, 9,18 & 36 pint bag-in boxes). 

I was sent three bottles of Sun Drop for the purpose of highlighting the product on my site if I felt it was worthy of inclusion.  It certainly is,  more than worthy.  Thank you Sun Drop!  Your gluten free vegan ale is impressive.
