Adnams Brewery has collaborated with Cheltenham's Deya Brewing Company to launch 'Boat Trip,' a gold ale that uses oats and pale ale malt to provide hints of orange and lime. The beers come in 440ml cans and have flavors of elderflower, peaches, limes, and orange, making them ideal for the summer weather.
“Rumour has it that late in life, while living in South Africa, one of Adnams foundin brothers, George Adnams, came across a crocodile. The details of what happened will never become clear, but the story became legend," commented Fergus Fitzgerald, Adnams production director.
'Boat Trip' will debut at Adnams' pub estate, in addition to pubs, bars, taprooms, and select beer retailers across the UK.
