Every once in a while my favorite brewery in Maine sends an email out to mock my lack of beer keep me informed of their comings-and-goings.
Just got this today:
Shipyard Export Wins Best of Show and Gold Medal in San Diego
Shipyard Brewing Company's Export Ale was named Best of Show at the San Diego County Fair's Commercial Beer Competition on Saturday, June 9. Export Ale is Shipyard's flagship beer and this month marks the 15th anniversary of this popular brew.
Export Ale was also awarded a Gold Medal for English Ales and Shipyard's Chamberlain Pale Ale took home the Silver in the same category.
Additionally, Silver medals were awarded to Sea Dog Brewing Company's Riverdriver Hazelnut Porter and Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat Ale.
Last month, Shipyard's Chamberlain Pale Ale won 1st place in the English Pale Ale category at the prestigious West Coast Brew Fest's Commercial Craft Competition in Sacramento, California.
