Salcombe Brewery Co has announced the launch of Atlas (ABV 4%), a new Session IPA that celebrates the South West’s seafaring heritage.

It will be available from 1st July on tap in pubs and from 11th July in 330ml cans from retail outlets, including the brewery shop and online for nationwide delivery from its website.

Head Brewer, Sam Beaman, commented: “We are thrilled with the latest addition to our small batch range. Atlas showcases a combination of hops from across the globe, featuring British, US and Australian varieties.

“When it came to naming our new beer we took inspiration from the many maritime explorations and adventures that have set off from Devon, across the Atlantic, and returned with exotic ingredients. Atlas is the Greek god after whom the Atlantic is named.”

Atlas (4.0% ABV) is a session IPA created from a winning combination of British, US and Australian hop varieties. The result is a fruity ale with flavours of peach, blueberry and papaya.

These tropical notes are complemented by a hoppy citrus finish and balanced bitterness. It is the perfect pint to enjoy with an ocean view and the ideal accompaniment to BBQ food.  

Sam continued: “Atlas is the second beer in our new small batch range. Our first, Belgica, won gold at the SIBA awards so the pressure is on to follow it with something just as outstanding. I am confident that we have hit the mark with Atlas and it will be a fantastic addition to our range of award-winning ales.”
