Salcombe Brewery Co. announces new listing with Sainsbury’s

Salcombe Brewery Co. is delighted to announce that it has secured an agreement with Sainsbury’s to sell two of its much loved beers, Seahorse and Shingle Bay, in twenty stores across the South West.

Jordan Mace, Salcombe Brewery Co.’s Managing Director, said: “We are thrilled that Sainsbury’s stores across the South West are now stocking Shingle Bay and Seahorse. We have a huge fan base across the area and this will make it even easier for them to stock up on their favourite pint. It is also a great opportunity to introduce our beers to an even wider audience.”

Jordan explained: “Shingle Bay is our best-selling bottled beer and one that holds a special place in all our hearts. It is because John Tiner, the founder of Salcombe Brewery, loved Shingle Bay so much that he bought the brewery in the first place.”

Jordan added: “Seahorse is also very important to us at Salcombe Brewery Co. because the Salcombe estuary is a haven for both British species of seahorse and, as part of our commitment to our local environment, we are trying to help conserve these amazing animals by donating 5p a bottle towards The Seahorse Trust.”

Shingle Bay (ABV 4.2%), is a very easy-drinking golden ale, with a crisp bite. It has a fruity aroma of blackberry and spiced fruit.

Seahorse (ABV 4.4%) is a sweet and smooth amber ale with a gentle spicy hop character, hints of burnt caramel and a smoked malty finish.

Salcombe Brewery Co., founded in 2015, is based at its innovative Estuary View brewery which nestles in the Devon countryside above the world famous Salcombe Estuary.

Award-winning, SALSA accredited Salcombe Brewery Co. produces a range of premium cask ale and keg products.
