Shipyard Brewing Company is an American brewery founded in 1994 by Alan Pugsley in Portland, Maine. Shipyard was first brewed in 1992 by Pugsley and Fred Forsley. Initially, the beer was brewed at the Kennebunkport Brewing Company in Kennebunk, Maine, one of the state's original breweries. Within two years, demand for Shipyard's product outpaced the capacity of the small facility at Kennebunk, and in 1994, Forsley and Pugsley opened the Shipyard Brewing Company in Portland.
In 2003, The Shipyard Brewing Company shipped over a half-million cases (45,255 barrels). The Shipyard Brewing Company produces 12 varieties of award-winning English style ales. Their products are distributed in 25 states around the country.
