Brewery Chatter
   brewhouse 
June was a very busy month here at the brewery, and so far July looks to be about the same!  We took part in a few very successful events, held many in-store tastings, and brewed a lot of quality beer.
 
June also marked the exciting arrival of our new brewhouse.  It rolled into town in early June, on one of the rare sunny days, and is now in in its new home at the Ipswich Ale Brewery.
 
As we look ahead to July, our event and brew schedule is busy as ever.  In fact, we are brewing the Hosiery Mill Double IPA as we speak!  The double IPA is the 3rd in a series of 4 strong ales that we have been brewing to celebrate Ipswich's 375th birthday.
 
Take a look at the rest of this newsletter to learn about all of our upcoming events in July.
 
Happy 4th!

Summer Seasonal Brews
 
summer 6 pack    Ipswich Summer Ale
    Our light-bodied, unfiltered blonde ale retains the flavor of the Original Ale, but is light enough to enjoy on a hot summer day.  The beer's subtle hoppiness comliments summer meals like chicken and salmon.

Availability: 6-packs, 12-packs, and on tap at your local bar or restaurant. 
 
 
 
Stone Cat Hefeweizenhefe
Our Hefeweizen is a classic, unfiltered, Bavarian style wheat beer.  The unique yeast used in the brew creates the aromas of banana and clove.  Our summer wheat pairs well with fresh fruit, or with a salad sprinkled with fresh & local feta or goat cheese.
ABV: 5.4%
IBUs: 14
Availibility: available in the Stone Cat Summer Mix Pack, and for the first time ever, in 6-packs as well.  Ask for it on tap at your favorite local restaurant!
