In January 1992 the space shuttle Discovery carried hops on board, travelling over 3 million miles during 128 orbits. Upon touchdown, the hops were conveyed to Spinnakers and employed in two special casks, tapped by the commander and then shared amongst the crew, their colleagues and a collection of Spinnakers’ regulars.

Discovery Ale is a celebration of all of all of the flights of the discovery and the end of the shuttle era. Discovery Ale has a taste which defies gravity.
