How Sea Dog Makes Its Beer
Sea Dog makes its beer in a traditional way. They use special ingredients. These ingredients are important for the taste.
They use imported English malted barley for their ales. Ales are a type of beer. For lagers, another type of beer, they use German hops and grains.
The beer is made using a British yeast. This yeast helps the beer ferment. Fermentation is a process where sugar turns into alcohol. This process gives the ales a balanced and fruity taste. They also have a crisp finish. Sea Dog says it is one of the few craft breweries in New England that makes both traditional ales and lagers.
