Mayflower Brewing

We just brewed our 500th Barrel!!!   We are very excited with the reception our beers are receiving in both bottles and draft.  Everyday we get calls from restaurants, bars and package store asking for our beers.  This ROCKS!!!  Our Sales Director, Jeff is very busy hitting the road hard with samples in hand.  He also can be found a tastings pretty much every weekend.  ”Hey Jeff!!! - Your family called, they wondered if they can schedule a meeting with you sometime…”  On a side note .. we are very exciting to have been asked to ship our beer to Great Britain.  We are sending a firkin of Porter dry hopped with East Kent Goldings to the Great British Beer Festival.  That is so cool.  My first beer to be shipped across the pond.  We also are working on some firkins of porter aged with Hungarian wood to be served on gravity at a few local beer bars.  Keep an eye out for those for sure. Gotta go… we are brewing porter today and i have to go shut the whirlpool down and let the wort rest.  Then we’ll send it through the heat exchanger. Cheers,Matthew

Our third release, Mayflower Porter, found itself in a bottle for the first time this morning.  We were only able to package up 80 cases or so… we get right back on it tomorrow, and expect to have the full batch bottled by the end of the day.  Package stores will start taking delivery on Wednesday.  So keep your eyes out for it!  And as always… ask for it, if you don’t see it.  

I am proud to say that the first deliveries of Mayflower Golden and Pale Ale have left the safe confines of our beer cooler.  Now…let the feast begin.  Check your local package stores throughout the Greater Plymouth area for our beers.  If they don’t have them yet, ask for it.

In the Boston area, select accounts have taken deliveries and we certianly will be adding accounts every week. 

Thanks for the continued support.

Matthew

We are very happy to say that we successfully bottled 120 cases of Pale Ale.  Many thanks go out to Michael Labbe, brewer at Milly’s Tavern in manchester, NH for his help on getting the machine running smooth.

We also are bottling the Golden Ale tomorrow and expect to deliver our first cases of both beers to local retailers on Friday.   The next several weeks will prove to be tons of work and we hope to get Porter bottled soon.  Be sure to ask for Mayflower Six Packs at your local package store if you don’t see us.

Cheers to Bottled Beer!

Here Ryan and I sit… dreaming about Mayflower beers in 12 oz bottles.  We are so close.  In fact, the last step is nearly complete.  Glynn Electric’s, Master of Electrical Man of Mayhem is connecting relays and working his 3-phase magic.  If all things go the way we hope, we will be bottling tomorrow, Friday, May 9th. 

The first run of the bottling machine will bring us Mayflower Pale Ale.  Followed very soon by Golden Ale.  Our much saught after Porter will be ready to go in a couple weeks.   As far as IPA… we will keep you posted.

 Look for our six-packs at your local package stores in the coming weeks.  Check out our beer finder page at http://mayflowerbrewing.com/beers.htm for a list of retailers.  We will be updating the list every week, so stay connected.  Also… ask for Mayflower Brewing Co.’s beers at your favorite bar, restaurant, and package store, and we will be sure to bring them beer.

Cheers!

GREAT News…  we just finished loading in our bottling machine.  As of now, we are putting it together and expect to run some trials and make sure everything is working properly.  You never know what may happen, but may have some bottled beer to drink by very early MAY. (maybe even APRIL!)

In the brewhouse, Ryan filtered our second batch of Porter today , and it is tasting great.  That entire batch will go into kegs tomorrow.  The next batch of Porter is going to be brewed next week and will most likely be all bottles!  The third batch of IPA is getting brewed tomorrow.  No change to the recipe, but working on it being a ‘hair’ drier.  The first batch finished a little higher than we want, so a little mash temperature tweek, and it should be spot on.

All this is very exciting. 

More later,

Matthew
