In 2017, Drifter Brewing Company was the first brewery in the world to age beer in the sea and now they are back with their second limited batch of bottles aged on the ocean floor in Cape Town over a 12 month period.

The concept originated in 2016 while owner, Nicholas Bush, was scuba diving through an old shipwreck off of Cape Point.

“Due to the darkness and cold temperatures, the ocean here is ideal for this unique fermentation process. It also goes with our tagline of adventure and creativity. I love thinking outside of the box…or under the sea! ” says Bush.
