I have to agree with you. This is a nice beer that makes up for the past shipyard beers I have had. Starting to look forward to this future brewery release.Inkling wrote:Shipyard Smashed Blueberry - I go to Maine many a summer and have always been underwhelmed by Shipyard but I am very impressed by this one that I found at the LCBO. Much better than their pumpkin beer to my taste.

Shipyard Pumpkin was odd - maybe the Ringwood yeast made it so earthy and rotting-leaf tasting - I will try the Blueberry, thanks bros.phat matt wrote:I have to agree with you.

A blending of Fuller's London Porter and Black Creek Pale Ale, but only about 1 part the pale to 6 of the porter. It gives a bitterness and slightly vegetal hop accent that the Porter on its own needs IMO, but the overall porter profile is preserved and enhanced.
The result is quite a bit like Hop Head Black IPA but a few points lower in ABV.

I've got one that I'm going to open up in a while and try it out. Maybe ten months in the bottle did something positive to it.Belgian wrote:Shipyard Pumpkin was odd - maybe the Ringwood yeast made it so earthy and rotting-leaf tasting - I will try the Blueberry, thanks bros.phat matt wrote:I have to agree with you.
