Day 153 - Old Thumper



Shipyard Brewing - Old Thumper
Portland, ME (USA)
ABV 5.9% Calories 180*


Old Thumper is actually an English beer brewed by Ring Wood Brewery (as seen on the bottle); however the story is that the master brewer's apprentice was allowed to brew this beer for an American brewery (Shipyard Brewing Co.) and has been doing so for the last 15+ years. I've never heard of this beer and don't believe I've had a beer from Shipyard yet. I do like Old Thumper, which is a non-traditional English bitter (great, I'm not too fond of those 'traditional' English beers); it is malty with just the right amount of bitterness. All around decent beer.
