Last week a package arrived from Shipyard Brewing, containing these:

Those are the two beers in the Pugsley’s Signature Series of beers being offered by Shipyard: Barley Wine and Imperial Porter. You can read more about them from their blog:

Pugsley’s Signature Series is named after Shipyard Brewing Company’s master brewer, Alan Pugsley. Alan is from Hampshire, England where he worked with Peter Austin at the world-famous Ringwood Brewery before moving to the United States in 1986.

(An aside. The fact that they have a blog redeems their less-than-user-friendly website. Somewhat. But their main site really needs some work.)

Handsome bottles and packaging, for sure. Look for my reviews this week.
