Bays Brewery has added a new beer to its local line-up , Madgull Lemon Lager, a vibrant and refreshing small-batch special inspired by the iconic seagull.

With punchy citrus lime and grapefruit notes, available in 330ml bottles, it has been described as a ‘passion project’ by the three brothers who founded Torbay-based Bays Brewery 17 years ago.
“As a family-run brewery that has been crafting beers the Devon way for almost two decades, we’ve always wanted to launch a beer that bottles up our passion for the place we are fortunate enough to call ‘home’,” said director Mark Salmon.
“And what says Torbay more than the iconic seagull — a winged resident synonymous with seaside life. Love them or hate them, nothing says ‘summer’ more than a seagull soaring above the shoreline with a stolen chip, and Madgull Lemon Lager shares in its zest for life.”
The lively lemon lager is available to buy on the Bays online shop, with thirsty folk also able to get their hands on Madgull at selected bars, restaurants and pubs in Torbay as part of a soft launch.
Head brewer, Will Freeland, said: “Madgull Lemon Lager is a bright, punchy beer that’s easy to drink, with a refreshing citrus kick balanced by a smooth malt backbone, making it an ideal companion for outdoor activities and warm-weather gatherings.
“Whether you’re relaxing at the beach or just looking for a refreshing drink after a long day, Madgull Lemon Lager offers a zesty, invigorating experience and we can’t wait to see it in the pint glasses of thirsty punters in Torbay and beyond.”
The lemon lager is the latest addition to the brewery’s award-winning range of established ales and lagers, all of which are crafted to perfection the Devon way at its Paignton brewery.
Throughout 2024, Bays is also supporting a number of top Devon charities with the release of four limited-edition charity beers, all of which aim to give something back to the local community.
