Summer Starts April 1st at Gritty McDuff's

Start Summer Early: Gritty McDuff’s Brewing Company Puts Vacationland Summer Ale On The Shelves Ahead Of Schedule

Maine craft brewer Gritty McDuff’s Brewing Company announced today that it’s well known and loved Vacationland Summer Ale will hit stores about two weeks earlier than normal this year.

The popular seasonal favorite will be on retailers’ shelves beginning April 1 and continue through early fall.

“It’s been a long, cold winter,” said Gritty’s Vice President and Master Brewer, Ed Stebbins. “What better way to start dreaming of summer on the beach, hiking in the mountains and all the other great summer activities than by sipping some great Gritty’s Vacationland Summer Ale? We’re very pleased that our production schedule allowed us to get it on the shelves early this year.”

One of Gritty’s most popular seasonal beers, Vacationland Summer Ale is a light-colored but full-bodied ale with a snappy hop finish. Made with generous portions of pale malt with a touch of wheat malt, Vacationland Summer Ale offers a unique flavor that’s richer than most summer brews. Cascade leaf hops add a delicate and forward hop character as well.

Vacationland Summer 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 throughout New England in a growing number of bars, restaurants, pubs, taverns, supermarkets, beer & wine shops, convenience stores, and other beer retailers in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
