We brewed the first batches of our first fall seasonal beer last week. Mayflower Autumn Wheat is a dark wheat beer that blends the malty richness of dark ales with the fruity aroma and bready character of traditional wheat beers. Just the thing for the crisp days of Autumn! Look for it in stores and bars starting in late August.

OK, so we promised our friend Smitty that we would put his picture on the web site.  So…, here he is looking good with a case of Mayflower Golden Ale.  Cheers and show us your Mayflower!

Starting tomorrow (June 5) and continuing through September 4, we will be open on Saturdays for tastings, tours and growler fills.  Hours are 1-4PM.  This adds to our year-round retal hours on Thursday and Friday afternoons from 4:30-6:30PM.  Cheers and hope to see you here!

Mayflower Summer Rye begins shipping next week!  Brewed with pilsner, rye and wheat malts and plenty of American hops, this beer is dry, spicy and refreshing - the ultimate Summer session ale.  Supply is limited, but look for it in bars and package stores near you.  Cheers!

To help ensure that you are getting the freshest beer possible from us, we have begun dating our bottles. Starting this week, “packaged on” dates will be printed on every bottle and located on the bottom right of our labels. Look for these dates in the coming months and taste the history!

Thanks to our good friend Dan Whiteley, Mayflower Pale Ale has made its way to the South Pole!  As these photos attest, it’s the beer of choice among penguins and guys with scraggy beards.  Cheers Dan!  As for the rest of you, show us your Mayflower!!

Sabor in Plymouth will be hosting a special dinner featuring Mayflower Brewing Company beers on Monday April 26 at 6PM. The five course meal will feature each of our year-round beers paired with terrific foods from chef Vinicio Cordon.

Here’s the menu - sabor-menu

We successfully packaged our Barley Wine yesterday (2/19) and will begin delivering it to customers this coming week.  It will be available in 22 ounce bottles and will be sold through select retail locations and at the brewery.   Mayflower Barley Wine Style Ale is the second release of our Cooper’s Series of limited-batch, wood-aged beers.  Brewed with a single variety of heirloom barley malt - Maris Otter - and aged in oak bourbon barrels for 10 months, it is a rich and complex brew that will warm your soul.  Cheers!

Today we are racking the barley wine out of our bourbon barrels into a bright beer tank.  The beer has been conditioning in these barrels since last April, picking up oak and bourbon flavors and mellowing along the way.  The next step is to package in bottles - we’ll let you know when they are ready.  Cheers!
