Ocean Lab Brewing Co. just dropped something rich, roasty, and straight from the tank; British Driftwood Brown Ale, a limited-edition twist on their fan-favorite classic. Brewed exclusively with London Ale Yeast from White Labs, this version leans all the way into traditional British brown ale territory.
A Malty Masterpiece with a British Soul
Pour it and you’ll notice the deep brown color first. Then, those ruby-red highlights glint through the glass. Topped with a creamy ivory head, it looks like it belongs on a pub counter in Camden.
Take a whiff roasted malt, toffee, caramel, and dried fruit hit the nose first. There’s even a nutty warmth in the background that rounds out the aroma.
The first sip? Pure balance. It’s malty but not heavy, with a medium-light body, a touch of bitterness, and a clean, smooth finish. It drinks easy, but never boring. Think of it as the kind of ale you’d nurse over deep conversation—or just loud music and a good laugh.
From London Vibes to San Patricio Nights
This is a brown ale with British soul and Puerto Rican swagger. It’s the pub vibe without the plane ride. Launching Thursday, June 5, the first pours start flowing at Ocean Lab Brewing Co.’s San Patricio Plaza location. And yes, there’s live music from 8 PM to make the night even better.
Can’t stay? Grab a crowler or growler and bring that English-inspired malt magic home.
