<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe release of Vacationland means that summer is coming,\u201d said Gritty\u2019s Vice President and Master Brewer Ed Stebbins. \u201cAnd the new labels add a little extra excitement for us this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gritty\u2019s introduced new packaging for Original Pub Style and Scottish Ale in December 2010. The new packaging is a nod to Gritty\u2019s three brew pubs, their customers, and incorporates subtle details that fans of Gritty’s will recognize and appreciate. The new Vacationland Summer Ale packages continues that theme, featuring brighter colors, a beer-thieving bear and summer campers traveling through Maine.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce summer arrives, campers, summer renters and day trippers come to Maine,\u201d said Stebbins. \u201cThey’re part of Maine\u2019s summer landscape, and we wanted to incorporate these folks into Vacationland packaging.\u201d <\/p>\n
Vacationland Summer Ale is a full-bodied ale made with generous portions of pale malt and a touch of wheat malt, along with Cascade wheat hops for a delicate and forward hop character. This seasonal ale will be available in 6- and 12- packs of 12- ounce bottles, 22-ounce bottles, 5-liter mini kegs and on draft in bars and restaurants throughout New England.<\/p>\n
