Shipyard Bourbon Barrel Aged Double Scottish Ale Brewed by Shipyard Brewing -
Portland Maine
Portland’s 32
inches of snow did not slow the brew crew down one bit. With Applehead on
shelves and the new Bourbon Barrel Aged Double Scottish Ale on its way to
stores, the crew has been working on a new addition to the Pugsley’s
Signature Series and a few other brews you will not want to miss. Stay tuned
for more details on these delicious new ales in the coming month. Double
Scottish Ale is the next variation to be released in our Bourbon Barrel Aged
Series.
This 11.6% ABV,
smooth, malty ale has a nose of black licorice and clove, and finishes dry with
a subtle yet lingering spiciness. A great pair for any to any meal, but
complements spicy dishes particularly well. You will find this beer popping up
in select markets and in our Brewery Store in the coming weeks.
 
Shipyard Brewing Company
Shipyard Brewing Company is an American craft brewery and soft
drink manufacturer based in Portland, Maine and founded in 1994.
Maine ranks among the top five states in the U.S. for craft
breweries, with Shipyard the largest brewer. Shipyard is also
the 15th largest microbrewery in the United States, and the
third largest in New England after Boston Beer Company and
Harpoon Brewery.
Shipyard first began in 1992 at Federal Jack’s Restaurant and
Brew Pub in Kennebunk, which is one of Maine's original brew
pubs and working breweries. Within two years, demand for
Shipyard beer outpaced the small operation and, in April 1994,
businessman Fred Forsley and brewer Alan Pugsley opened the
Shipyard Brewing Company in the heart of the waterfront in
Portland, Maine on the site of the former Crosby Laughlin
Foundry.
In 2012, Shipyard Brewing Company brewed over 125,000 barrels of
ale. Its products are available in 40 states. Shipyard operates
several restaurants and contract breweries, and is active in
many community projects around New England. Shipyard is partners
with the Sea Dog Brewing Company and Casco Bay Brewing Company.
Shipyard also produces beer under contract for Gritty McDuff's
Brewing Company and brews an American version of Old Thumper
under license from Ringwood Brewery.
