All About Beer Magazine

Shipyard Brewing Company will join forces with Marston’s Brewery to make the collaboration beer Independence Ale. Shipyard’s master brewer Alan Pugsley is originally from England. Pugsley used to work at Ringwood which is now owned by Martston’s and Shipyard exclusively brews Ringwod’s Old Thumper Extra Special Ale for the U. S. market so there has been a long relationship between Shipyard and the Marston’s crew. The two breweries will make 300 barrels of the ale, a blonde best bitter at 4.2 ABV, and release it on July 4.
