Pugsley’s Signature Series is named after Shipyard Brewing Company’s master brewer, Alan Pugsley. Alan is from England where he worked with Peter Austin at the world-famous Ringwood Brewery before moving to the U.S. in 1986. Since then, Pugsley has assisted with the establishment of more than 65 brewpubs and microbreweries throughout the world. To fully experience all the flavors, these ales are best drunk at 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
