I just received word that two Maine Breweries have won awards at a major beer competition Down Under. Sea Dog and Shipyard Brewing Companies each took home a medal at the 2008 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) in Melbourne, Australia.
Shipyard Brewing Company’s Chamberlain Pale Ale won a Silver award (no gold was given) in Class 3 – Ale Packaged - British Style Pale Ale. Last year, Chamberlain took home a Bronze medal in this same category.
Sea Dog Brewing Company’s Sea Dog Bluepaw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale was awarded a Bronze (no gold or silver was given) in Class 17 – Fruit Beer Packaged. Bluepaw received this same award in last year’s competition.
Congratulations to master brewer Alan Pugsley, who oversees the brewing for both these companies, and all of the folks at both Shipyard and Sea Dog. It’s great to see Maine beers gaining recognition around the globe.
