"Since 2018, SeaGrown has been sustainably growing and harvesting seaweed right here on the Yorkshire Coast.This planet-friendly crop can be used for many wonderful things, including beer.In 2022, they invited us to brew a seaweed beer, Hold Fast, for them to serve in their café and restaurant and we have recently brewed a second beer, Down the Hatch. We're looking forward to tasting these and other Wold Top beers alongside some delicious snacks on board the Southern Star," said Mrs Ward.
