Some fish themed drinks.
These are Aerodrome 'crossovers'.
Something decidedly fishy about this one too.
Rob.
Pelicans seem a popular subject for drinks. Perhaps it is because of the large bill.
Here are a couple of ales to go with your Pelecan Dave.
Rob.
If you have been consuming ale, keep a more careful look out for shoals.
One for the road.

If you are at sea, you may observe many seagulls.
Scapa Flow was an important base for the Royal Navy during the two World Wars.
The Nore was a naval anchorage in the Thames estuary usually remembered for the mutiny there in 1797.
This ale is not local to the area. It just has the same name.
Great David
I will go further south...
Morten
...put him in the brig until he's sober...
Let us also remember the Cape of Good Hope.
Another famous Cape.
Here in Christchurch New Zealand a craft brewing company produce a Spruce Beer which uses a recipe used by Captain Cook. The website reads:
"Captain James Cook was the first person to brew beer in New Zealand. He brewed ale style beers here during his visits in the eighteenth century. He used molasses with Manuka and Rimu foliage in his beers. The same ingredients are used in our version of this ale. A dark copper colour and clean distinctive spicey finish. 5%"
It's an interesting flavour and one of my friends occasionly turns up with a bottle or two. Manuka and Rimu are trees, if you have not heard of them.

Some of those ales would be appropriate for a thread like this over at the Aerodrome, if anyone ever starts one.
I have found another couple of New Zealand ales with sea associations.
Let's move to another island.
Rob (Bligh) will be back soon so you'll get some help keep this rolling.
Some drinks named after a fictional naval hero.
Another fictional seafarer with his own ale.
Back from Praag at last here is my latest.

Here is another drink associated with a sea bird.
Thanks Dave.
