Sharp's Offshore Pilsner launching in shops and supermarkets

The beer was originally only available in pubs, bars and restaurants since its release in 2018.

But now the Rock-based brewery has expanded its distribution to a national scale.

Available in six and ten-can multipacks, the rollout is expected to complete by end of April.

James Nicholls, marketing controller at Sharp’s, said: "Being based here on the Cornish coast, myself and many of the team are keen surfers.

"We created our Offshore Pilsner to celebrate those amazing days when the wind turns offshore, creating the amazing clean waves that we all love so much.

"We know Offshore Pilsner has proven a hit with consumers across the country since launching in pubs and bars in 2018, and we’re excited to carry this momentum into the retail space and give drinkers even more access to this 'discovery' beer."

The clean-tasting brew's execution was driven by Cornwall's love for surfing and those unique moments when the offshore wind creates pristine waves.

With its tropical fruit and herbal lemon aromas, the beer has, over time, gained significant popularity, becoming the best-selling discovery lager in the South-West.

On top of this, Sharp’s Brewery is celebrating a significant milestone - its 30th anniversary.

Mr Nicholls added: "For three decades, we have remained dedicated to pushing boundaries, innovating, and delivering exceptional brews that reflect the spirit of Cornwall.

"We look forward to many more years of brewing excellence."

Since its inception in 1994, Sharp's has become the largest brewer of cask beer in the South West, boasting multiple award-winning beers, including the UK’s number one amber ale, Doom Bar.

The brewery has received more than 150 international brewing awards to date, including the Country Winner title for Camel Valley Pilsner at the 2023 World Beer Awards.

From the end of April, Offshore Pilsner can be found at leading retailers, or purchased from Sharp’s Brewing Co’s online shop.
