Shipyard Brewery - Brewery on the waterfront

Shipyard Brewery USA is based in Portland, Maine, and is a family-owned brewery producing award-winning beers with their team of craftsmen who learned their trade from Alan Pugsley, the world-renowned master brewer. They continually experiment with new brews at their pilot system in Portland and their 7-barrel system at Federal Jack’s Brew Pub which is in Kennebunk Harbor 20 miles away.


One innovative feature on the Shipyard Brewery USA website is their beer finder. You simply select a city, select how many miles from that city you wish to cover, and the website then instantly shows you all their retail outlets in that area that have recently purchased their beers. To give you an idea of the popularity of Shipyard Brewery USA beers, we entered the city of Bangor, which is the third largest in Maine and 130 miles from Portland, entered “10 miles from Bangor” and up came exactly 50 retail outlets within that area that stock Shipyard Brewery beers. It also showed which beers were stocked, unless there were three lines or more, in which case it simply stated the number of lines, which in some cases were as many as seven.

The Shipyard tasting room has a rotating line-up of the brewery’s core beers, seasonal offerings at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and so on, and also features new brews and pilot beers that have not yet reached the market.

The Use Of Hydrogen Peroxide For Cleaning Beer Lines

Image
Most people these days think about the environment and protecting it in as many ways as we can, such as the campaign by a national newspaper which has resulted in a huge reduction in the number of plastic bags used by supermarkets. If you run a pub and have to clean your beer lines, you may wonder about environmentally friendly line cleaning , because many of the cleaners that are available are caustic.  However, there is one type of cleaner which is not, and that is stabilised hydrogen peroxide (the same material used to bleach hair). It makes for extremely environmentally friendly line cleaning, and in addition is fully bio-degradable and non-toxic.  Chemically known as H2O2, hydrogen peroxide uses an oxidation reaction to kill bacteria through destroying the walls on contact, and can take as little as a minute, depending on the concentration used. When it has encountered bacteria it immediately breaks down into water and oxygen, so it leaves no ha...

The Importance of Beer Line cleaning

Image
Cleaning beer lines is a chore, no doubt about it, but is something that every pub landlord must undertake on a regular basis. The brewery may take up to several months to brew and finish a keg of beer and yet it can be ruined in few seconds it takes to travel from the keg to the tap if the beer lines are not cleaned and have become infected with yeasts or mould. A number of things can affect the quality of beer, and one of those is yeasts. This may be small amount of yeast that is left over from the brewing process, or it could be wild yeasts that float in the air around us. Yeasts are usually found on parts of the system which are exposed to the air such as taps, keg couplers, and drains. Moulds are also found on the parts of the system exposed to air, and they may also grow on cellar walls. These are usually brown or black in colour and produce an off-taste in the beer. Bacteria can be another problem and may grow on the inside of the beer lines. They...

A Couple of Ways to Make Beer Usage Savings

Image
One of the biggest questions that many pub landlords and bar owners have is how to make beer usage savings . All of us know that we lose beer when we clean the beer lines, and that it can’t be helped. Pouring two or three pints of perfectly good beer down the drain is against all logic, but it can’t be helped. Or can it? There is a system available that actually reduces the cycle of beer line cleaning and that will result in huge beer usage savings. Imagine if you only had to clean your beer lines once a month? Or even as infrequently as every seven weeks? Just think how much time that would save, and even more importantly how much beer you would save. There is actually a product that you can rent that will do exactly that. Another way of making beer usage savings is to install FOB detectors. These are designed to keep your beer lines filled with beer, and nothing but beer – not foam. When you get to the bottom of a keg or cask your tap starts to spit foam...
