Portland, Maine — Maine craft brewer Gritty McDuff’s Brewing Company (www.grittys.com) announced today that its seasonal favorite, Vacationland Summer Ale, will be hitting store shelves throughout New England by the end of March. 

 

“Every year, Gritty’s Vacationland Summer Ale is released just about the time we New Englanders all start to need a strong dose of warmer weather,” said Gritty’s Vice President and Master Brewer Ed Stebbins.  “Springtime coming at the end of a long, cold winter is reason enough to celebrate with an excellent, warmer-weather brew.”

Vacationland Summer Ale is a light-colored, full-bodied ale made with
generous portions of pale malt and a touch of wheat malt, along with
Cascade leaf hops for a delicate and forward hop character.  As a
result, Vacationland Summer Ale offers a unique flavor that’s richer
than most summer brews, with a snappy finish, according to Stebbins. 
The seasonal ale is available in 6- and 12-packs of 12-ounce bottles,
22-ounce bottles and 5-liter mini kegs.

 

Gritty McDuff’s beers are available in a growing number of bars,
restaurants, pubs, taverns, supermarkets, beer and wine shops,
convenience stores, and other beer retailers in Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
