Cheddar Ales Continental Drift Helles Lager is a beautifully crafted German-style Helles lager, brewed in Somerset using traditional methods and premium ingredients. Inspired by the monumental movement of continents over geological time, and the more recent movement of people and cultures across Europe, this award-winning lager offers exceptional balance, clarity and refreshment.

Brewed with the finest Pilsner malt and a touch of Vienna malt, Continental Drift is generously hopped with classic Tettnang and Saaz hops to create delicate floral aromas, subtle spice and a gentle, refined bitterness. After a cool, slow fermentation, the beer is matured for an impressive eight weeks, allowing its clean, crisp character and smooth finish to fully develop.

The result is a refreshing premium lager with a light golden colour, soft bready malt flavours and a delicate hop profile that makes it incredibly easy to drink while remaining full of flavour.

Winner of the Gold Medal in the Premium Lager & Pilsners category at the SIBA South West Regional Bottle & Can Beer Awards 2021, Continental Drift is a superb example of traditional Helles brewing.
