Since 1994, Shipyard Brewing Company has been brewing fine quality products with a wide range of style profiles. We use only top quality ingredients and pride ourselves on the consistency and freshness of our products. All our beer is hand crafted from recipes developed by master brewer Alan Pugsley, one of the most influential people in the craft brewing movement in North America.

Award-winning Shipyard beer is available in 38 states and markets for our freshly brewed, hand-crafted ales continue to expand.

In 2009, Shipyard Brewing Company shipped 1,137,465 cases (82,558 barrels) of our award-winning, hand-crafted ales.

We also shipped 45,750 cases (3,321 barrels) of Capt'n Eli's Soda.

The total brewing capacity of the brewery is 140,000 barrels so we have the ability to double our production in the years ahead.

At peak production, we fill 144,000 bottles per day (6,000 cases).

Shipyard Brewing Company is ranked as the 16th largest craft beer company in the U.S. and 31st overall - http://www.modernbrewery.age

Maine's largest brewery produces 14 varieties of award-winning English style and seasonal ales and 7 flavors of hand-crafted Capt'n Eli's Soda.

The Shipyard Brewing Company was founded by master brewer Alan Pugsley and entrepreneur Fred Forsley. Shipyard first began in 1992 at Federal Jack's Restaurant and Brew Pub in Kennebunk, which is one of Maine's original brew pubs and working breweries. Within two years, demand for Shipyard beer outpaced the small operation and, in April 1994, Forsley and Pugsley opened the Shipyard Brewing Company in the heart of the waterfront in Portland, Maine on the site of the former Crosby Laughlin Foundry.
