Shipyard Independence Ale is a blonde best bitter with a good hop bite and 4.2% alcohol by volume. The idea for this collaborate beer stemmed out of Shipyard Brewing Company’s relationship with Marston’s. Alan Pugsley, who is originally from Hampshire, England, moved to Maine in 1986 after working with Peter Austin at the world-famous Ringwood Brewery. Marston’s Beer Company now owns Ringwood and the brewery’s Old Thumper Extra Special Ale is brewed in the United States solely by Shipyard.
