A break from the pirate theme because I came across this intriguely named ale.
Attachment 25905
Although I am quite partial to Haggis, somehow the idea of mixing it with the sea and beer does not excite me at all. Nevertheless another extraordinary find Dave.

Her is another for today.

There is no haggis in the Sea Haggis drink, Rob. :)

Njord (Niord, Njordr) was the Norse god of winds, sea and fire. Nowadays, he seems to make gin. :)

Not sure about the fire bit, but the Gin part seems O.K.

In Norse mythology, Ægir (Old Norse "sea") is a sea jötunn associated with the ocean. He is also known for hosting elaborate parties for the gods. So it is appropriate that a Norwegian brewery is named after him including one of its products.
Attachment 25968Attachment 25969
An English brewery also named one of its products after him.
Attachment 25970
Another great find you have dug out there Dave.
I will have to seek carefully to try and continue this sea Deity theme that you started.:clap:

Manannán mac Lir (Mac Lir meaning "son of the sea"), is a sea deity in Irish mythology. Some say that the Isle of Man is named after him.

Tiamat
This ocean goddess, revered by the Sumerians, Assyrians, Akkadians, and Babylonians, could give birth to sea serpents and merpeople.

Tangaroa is the Maori god of the sea. There is a pale ale and a Sauvignon Blanc named after him.

Still on the Greeks.
Homer spoke of a single Gorgon—a monster of the underworld. The later Greek poet Hesiod increased the number of Gorgons to three—Stheno (the Mighty), Euryale (the Far Springer), and Medusa (the Queen)—and made them the daughters of the sea god Phorcys and of his sister-wife Ceto.
