Shipyard Brewing Company’s Pugsley’s Signature Series to launch with two new products: Barley Wine and Imperial Porter

PORTLAND, MAINE – (October 27, 2008) – Shipyard Brewing Company announced the release of two products in its new Pugsley’s Signature Series line.

Barley Wine Style Ale and Imperial Porter will be available in November. These two beers will be exclusively in 22 oz. bottles and on draft and are the first releases in Shipyard’s new Pugsley’s Signature Series.

Pugsley’s Signature Series is named after Shipyard’s master brewer, Alan Pugsley. Pugsley is from Hampshire, England where he worked with Peter Austin at the world-famous Ringwood Brewery before moving to the United States in 1986.

Barley Wine Style Ale is a big beer made with six different malts (Pale Ale, Crystal, Caramunich, Wheat, Chocolate and Roasted Barley) and balanced with a very full hop charge of Summit, Challenger and Fuggles hops. It is a deep reddish brown color with a complex fruity nose, a very full body, and an interesting balance between grains and hops which ends with a pleasing dry taste. To fully enjoy all the flavors, this ale is best drunk at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 8.5% alcohol by volume.

Imperial Porter is a full bodied, very dark, malty beer with a good roasted character coming from the Crystal, Chocolate and Black Patent Malts used in the mash. Warrior, English Fuggles, and East Kent Goldings Hops balance the malts with a good hop bite. The beer has an OG of 1.070, rounding out after fermentation with just a slight residual sweetness and cutting dry at the finish. 7.1% alcohol by volume.

Shipyard Brewing Company is located on the historic waterfront in Portland, Maine and produces 14 varieties of award-winning English style and seasonal beers. Its products are distributed in over 35 states.
