The Shipyard Brewing Company was founded by master brewer Alan Pugsley and entrepreneur Fred Forsley.Shipyard 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, Forsley and Pugsley opened the Shipyard Brewing Company in the heart of the waterfront in Portland, Maine on the site of the former Crosby Laughlin Foundry.

Shipyard India Pale Ale

The Shipyard IPA is a single hopped ale that satisfies the discriminating India Pale ale enthusiast. Wonderfully balanced and deceptively smooth. Fuggles, a traditional variety of English hop, are used in this beer for their mild spicy aroma and are highly prized by brewers. These classic hops were first propagated in 1875 and are named after the farmer who cultivated the strain in East Kent, England. The hop is a vine and the part used to aromatize and flavor beer is the cone-like flower. Its complex aromas predominate in a dry, crisp ale. 5.8% ABV
