Shipyard Summer Ale Is Here [VIDEO]

If you like summer seasonal beers, but don't want the fruit flavors or the unfiltered haze, consider Shipyard Brewing Company Summer Ale. I've had this one over the years, and it's a filtered ale with a mild flavor but no lemon, lime or anything extra to swallow.

Here's more about Shipyard Brewing Company, according to shipyardbrewing.blogspot.com:

Its products are distributed in over 40 states. The Brewers Association ranks Shipyard as the 15th largest craft brewery in the U.S. and 23rd overall."
