The American state of Maine is known for its numerous attractions: along the rugged coastline there are cozy fishing villages, breathtaking beaches and deep forests that almost reach the roaring surf. The clear, cold waters are home to specialties such as oysters and lobsters, an essential part of New England cuisine. If you go a little further out to sea, with a bit of luck you can see whales or dolphins in their natural habitat. The picturesque landscape is ideal for hiking, cycling, climbing, boating, hunting and fishing, and in winter the mountains with their finest powder snow entice you to go skiing, sledding or snowboarding. However, a highlight far away from exercise is the beer from Maine, so we would like to introduce you to our favorite brewery from Portland.
A happy coincidence
The story of the Shipyard Brewing Company does not begin in Portland, but in the town of Kennebunkport, not too far away. Fred Forsley and Alan Pugsley started their brewing venture there under the name Federal Jack's Restaurant & Brew Pub. The two are passionate beer connoisseurs - but the real reason for the brewery was to bring friends and family together with their beer and to give them a piece of joie de vivre and enjoyment. Parallel to the founding of Shipyard, the first American craft beers saw the light of day. Perfect timing for Fred and Alan! The two jumped straight on the bandwagon and were among the first craft brewers in New England. The hoppy new beer hit like a bomb and soon exploded the limited space in Kennebunkport. Just two years after the first brew, the team had to look for a new, more spacious home. They found what they were looking for in Portland and founded the Shipyard Brewing Company as part of the move.
Tradition, innovation and a heart for the people of their region
The brewery is still in family hands today. At Shipyard, great emphasis is placed on tradition - but at the same time, the brewers value innovation and advances in technology. Using the latest equipment and young, fresh ideas, the brewers reinvent themselves day after day and brew beers that inspire with craftsmanship, heart and character. The range consists of a mixture of down-to-earth classics from the craft beer scene, extraordinary creations and seasonal specialties. Many beers have already won prestigious awards and have given the brewery a good reputation in the international beer world. In addition to excellent beer, the community is particularly important to the team: the brewery supports good causes, events and its community with joy and generous donations.
