Sales of Salcombe Brewery Co’s Seahorse amber ale have generated a big charity donation to The Seahorse Trust.

Through sales of the 4.4% ABV ale, Salcombe has raised just over £2,000. It’s a sweet and smooth ale, with a gentle spicy hop character, hints of burnt caramel, and a smoked malty finish.
The Salcombe Estuary is one of the few places in the UK where one can find the rarer of the two species of seahorse. The brewery partnered with The Seahorse Trust four years ago to raise funds to support these endangered creatures. For each bottle sale, 5p goes to the trust.
The Seahorse Trust was founded in 1999 by Neil Garrick-Maidment to preserve and conserve the natural world, especially the marine environment, with the seahorse as its flagship species. The trust makes a difference through education, conservation, and campaigning for protected areas.
