Ipswich Ale Introduces Sunset Mix 12 Pack, Launches Cranberry Beret

Ipswich, MA — After its wildly successful limited draft release in 2016, Ipswich Cranberry Beret is back and now available in four packs of 16 ounce cans. The cans are the first new product to hit shelves from the brewery’s newly installed canning line. The canning line was made in Germany by Leibinger and has a rotary filler with 18 heads that can fill up to 100 cans a minute. The line has the versatility to switch between twelve and sixteen ounce formats.

“Releasing the Cranberry Beret in a 16 ounce can is a perfect way to launch our new canning line, and highlight one of the many diverse styles we’re been brewing here at the brewery” said Brewery Owner & President, Rob Martin. The beer is brewed using fresh cranberry puree and kettle soured with a special lactobacillus blend leaving your pallet with bright, tart, citrus notes. At 5% ABV, it’s a refreshing beer to enjoy as we cruise our way into the summer months.  Quantities are limited and will be available in cans and on draft in most states that distribute Ipswich Ale beers.

Also debuting for the summer season is, Ipswich Sunset Mix, our new 12 ounce bottled variety pack. The new package has a little something for everyone with 3 Summer Ale’s, 3 Blueberry Shandy’s, 3 Riverbend Pils, and 3 Route 101 IPA’s.

Summer Ale: No fruits. No spices. Just an ideal blend of pale malt, Cascade, and Mosaic hops. A perfect addition to a hot summer’s day. 4.9% ABV
