Ocean Beer

The world's oceans are a huge source of resources. Tons of fish and other sea creatures are caught every day to satisfy our hunger. We take water, algae and shells from the blue expanses and go to them when we need peace, a clear head or to cool down. We bathe, swim and snorkel in it, ride its waves, dive into its unfathomable depths and let ourselves be carried by them. We love water and yet the world's waters are in a precarious situation. Three friends from Madrid also came to this conclusion and decided to no longer sit idly by and watch the tragedy.

From the surfboard to the brewhouse

While surfing together, the boys noticed that the amount of trash in the water and on the beaches of their homeland was increasing rapidly. More and more waste washed up and found its way to the coast. To rid beaches of pollution, the three brewed an India Pale Ale and used the proceeds to organize clean-up operations. This venture went so well that in 2020 they founded the Ocean Beer label and were able to expand their actions throughout Spain and the world. From an ethical and sustainable perspective, the friends now brew a small but fine selection of beers and use all of their profits to support projects and campaigns for the benefit of the world's oceans. The good causes that the brewery supports include efforts to reduce black carbon in the Arctic, a foundation that advocates for the preservation and sustainable use of seaweed, dolphin rescues and all sorts of other institutions.

Well thought through

In order to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible with its own company, the brewery has come up with a sophisticated concept for the sustainable use of resources. The use of plastic and environmentally harmful colors and inks for bottle design has been reduced to a minimum or completely, all raw materials are of natural origin and the CO2 footprint is reduced every day and offset at the end of each year. The brewery has a deposit system and a circular economy in which hardly any waste is generated. Fernando Escribano is responsible for the beers: the experienced master brewer shares the passion for the sea and does his best every day to brew delicious drinks for the benefit of the oceans. In a three-year process, Fernando developed recipes that combine excellent raw materials with craftsmanship and a good cause. The brewery and its fans have already achieved a lot and you too can be part of this good cause. All you have to do is grab a cold beer!
