Drinktime: Shipyard Summer Ale

As many of you know I love to support local New England breweries whenever I can. One of my favorite New England breweries is Shipyard based out of Portland, Maine. While my favorite beer from Shipyard is their Pumpkinhead, which is their autumn seasonal pumpkin, Shipyard has a wide variety of delicious beers to choose from. As summer is approaching, summer seasonal beers are starting to fill the shelves of liquor stores and taps at your local bar. Shipyard's Summer Ale is one of my favorite summer seasonal beers on the market. An American wheat beer, Shipyard's Summer Ale is one of the best beers to drink during the hot and humid days of summer. The Summer Ale is the perfect beer to drink during the summer if you are not a fan of hoppy beers. The Summer Ale has a very subtle hoppy flavor profile and has more of a sweet malt flavor profile which works during the summer. With an ABV of 4.8%, the Shipyard Summer Ale is a beer that you can enjoy throughout your night without being knocked down by the alcohol content. When pairing with food, the Summer Ale is the perfect beer to drink with your fried clams and lobster rolls this summer by the beach. This summer, give Shipyard Summer Ale a try. I guarantee it will become a part of your summer relaxation once you try it.
