Years ago I accidentally ruptured my inner ear scuba diving off the California coast and since that day I’ve found myself a bit more susceptible to the adverse effects of motion. Not liking how most of the over-the-counter medications made me feel, I sought out alternatives. In 1945, my grandfather, petty officer third class Glen Claypool, was a landing craft pilot in the South Pacific. Just after his 98th birthday I asked him what he and the soldiers he ferried to the beaches did about sea sickness. He promptly quipped, “Well, you just hung yer’ head over the side and let her go!”
Well, I don’t like to “let her go” so it became my notion to create a tasty, natural, soothing beverage to help tame the rough seas within. With the guidance of an herbalist friend and utilizing the picky palate of my soda-slurping teenage son, we blended ginger with other traditional, stomach-soothing herbs as well as a pinch of cane sugar. We then added some bubbles for sparkle …Voilá! SeaPop was born. SeaPop’s unique flavor profile and subtle sweetness is a taste to behold. In a world saturated with energy drinks, SeaPop is here to help mellow things out.
Ahoy & Enjoy,

Original Ginger-Créme flavor. Hints of ginger beer, vanilla cola and root beer. Lightly sweetened with no preservatives.
SeaPop contains chamomile, an herb that comes from the daisy-like flowers of the Asteracae plant family. Loaded with antioxidants, it has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for a variety of health conditions including gastrointestinal disorders.
Lemon balm plays a role in optimizing immune health, digestive health and providing a sense of balance for the nervous system. In the digestive system, lemon balm has historically been used to calm occasional discomfort associated with indigestion, gas and bloating.
Native to Europe and Asia, peppermint has been used for thousands of years as a muscle relaxant and pain reliever that helps soothe upset stomach and indigestion and is believed to have calming effects on the nervous system as well.
COMING SOON.
Along with hints of ginger beer, vanilla cola and root beer, SeaPop Brite contains the same soothing and calming herbs as SeaPop Original. Chamomile, Lemon Balm and Peppermint are brewed together to create our proprietary botanical blend.
SeaPop Brite contains 54% less sugar than SeaPop Original with less than 10g of sugar and a hint of Stevia to balance the subtle sweetness on the palate.

Along with hints of ginger beer, vanilla cola and root beer, SeaPop Pep contains the same soothing and calming herbs as SeaPop Original. Chamomile, Lemon Balm and Peppermint are brewed together to create our proprietary botanical blend.
SeaPop Pep contains the addition of green tea. The bioactive compounds in green tea help sharpen brain function, burn fat and adds another element of antioxidant to the already health conscious mixture.
Beyond any ginger brew or cola, SeaPop is a whole new bubbly beverage. Like a gingersnap dipped in vanilla ice cream, SeaPop has a unique flavor profile all its own. Yes, it is a ginger based beverage but much like Dr. Pepper emerged onto the scene many decades ago, SeaPop stands alone. Though it hints of ginger beer, vanilla cola and root beer, SeaPop tastes like SeaPop.
SeaPop falls into the new and ever expanding category of nutraceutical beverages because of the combination of historically soothing and calming herbs that are brewed together to make the fundemental ingredient called the botanical blend. That blend is instrumental in making SeaPop the perfect beverage to drink when feeling any of type of digestive distress. Be it nausea from motion, reflux or just sour stomach, these herbs have been used for centuries for their soothing properties.
Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper and 7-Up all started as medicinals and SeaPop was developed with that model in mind. The notion behind the SeaPop flavor profile was to create a beverage that not only serves a particular function, but is also compelling, unique and delicious. In an era where highly sweetened sodas are being roundly villified, SeaPop is made with low levels of organic cane sugar and high quality, exotic health ingredients.
SeaPop is also a spectacular mixer. Having experienced many testimonials first hand as well as through social media, SeaPop has been found to blend well with a number of spirits, including vodka, whiskey and rum-- to name a few. And with SeaPop's inherent properties, it's as if one is soothing the impending hangover prior to receiving it.

My loving husband dragged me, his 8 1/2 months pregnant wife, to the 25th Bay Area NYE Les Claypool and Friends concert at the FOX theatre in Oakland, and all I can say is, Thank god for SeaPop! Not only was this the best tasting nonalcoholic beverage a pregnant lady could drink - it really soothed my tummy from all that horrible music! Primus sucks! ;)

I can now ride as a passenger on Highway 1 between Bodega Bay and Fort Ross. I was never able to enjoy the view until I drank a Sea Pop to calm my stomach. Now my wife can drive every time we go! Thank you!

This product genuinely stopped me from barfing in the car.

There are so many "energy" drinks in the world but this is the first "anti-energy" drink designed to calm & sooth rather than amp up. The flavor takes me down a memory to an old timey wooden candy store in the Appalachian mountains, where all the candy was made with pure cane sugar and flavored with items from the earth. The candy was made right in front of you by an old man in a funny hat who no child could distract. No idea if that store still exist today.

Mal de mer has gotten the best of many a young seafaring lad and fair maiden. This doesn't make you any less of a sailor but alas, there is a tasty solution that serves many purposes---to refresh the headstrong angler while quenching their thirst, while also relieving their motion sickness, thus enabling you to focus on your goal: to vanquish the beasts that lay in wait, looking for a meal. You need not be concerned with the stony lonesome anymore--for Sea Pop has arrived. It also goes great with booze; whiskey to be exact. Your wandering eyes will search no more, throw away that Dramamine and Bonine and crack an ice cold SeaPop. Did I say it really goes great with whiskey as well?

My wife and I attended the very first Claypool Cellars Annual Vintage Cars and Wine show in Sebastopol, Ca, and had such a great time, that we had a pachyderm size hangover the next day! (From the bar crawl afterwards of course, not from the World class wine) What saved us? One SeaPop in the morning to regain our sober legs!!

Driving through the mountains in West Sonoma County SeaPop brought the smiles back to my kids this Father's day. Car Sickness Sucks! SeaPop sure doesn’t.

It tastes soft, almost like the corners have been rounded. I'm a fan.

SeaPop saved half our charter yesterday (including 2 little ones) in some rolling swells off of Fort Ross. It was a blessing that Captain Aaron had some of your tasty beverage! I wish I had this when I was in the Navy. We lost 1/2 of the crew due to seasickness going into Cape Horn. This surely would have helped!! Great product!!!
Living on a tour bus is not unlike living at sea: musicians are shipmates, America is our ocean, and when the riding gets rough we crack the cooler and suck down a few bottles of Sea Pop. There's nothing better than that gingery brew to quiet a queasy sea dog. When there's mutiny in your midsection, or an uprising in your abdomen, this Admiral knows to rely on Sea Pop to put down the rebellion.
