Salcombe Brewery’s popular seasonal beer Rip Tide is back, in cask, and with bottles available online and direct from the brewery.

The 4.9% ABV beer is a deep chestnut colour, with a sweet chocolatey aroma, and a hint of citrus fruit, aided by the addition of orange zest. The use of torrified wheat and oats bring body and depth to the winter ale.

Brewer, Chris Lang, said: “It is a real pleasure for me to be able to create seasonal beers to complement our core range. Rip Tide is the perfect winter beer, with plenty of depth and a sweet fruity finish, married with a pleasant bitterness.”

Rip Tide is part of Salcombe Brewery Co’s seasonal range, which includes the festive ale, Christmas Tide, and autumnal favourite, Stormwatch. They compliment the brewery’s year-round beers, Seahorse, Salcombe Pale Ale, Lifesaver, Devon Amber, Shingle Bay and Salcombe Gold.
