Ocean Potion APA by Triggerfish Brewing

Founded in 2010 in Somerset West, Triggerfish Brewing is one of the pioneers of South African craft beer and the second-oldest craft brewery in the greater Cape Town area.

Brewing in small, meticulous batches, they focus on mastering complex classic styles while boldly exploring innovative hybrids. Known for powerful, high-gravity beers like Barley Wine, Belgian Strong Ale and Imperial Stout, Triggerfish has built a reputation for depth, balance and intensity.

Nestled in the heart of wine country, they launched a pioneering Sour Beer Programme in 2013, using aged wine barrels to create distinctive, character-driven brews. With over 60 beers across 34 recognised styles — including unique fynbos-infused creations — Triggerfish continues to showcase the very best of South African flavour and craft.

Ocean Potion is Triggerfish flagship beer. It is a classic American Pale Ale that pours pure gold with a solid lasting head that laces beautifully. Its trademark is the huge tropical fruit and citrusy aroma. This hoppy component is underpinned by a solid yet complex malt base. The first surprise is that this beer, after the aroma, is all beer. It's light bodied and finishes surprisingly bitter. Ocean Potion pairs well with aromatic dishes like Boboti, Thai and Indian curries.
