Here in Ipswich we’re lucky to be surrounded by beautiful landscapes. It’s only natural that a town known for its plentiful outdoor recreational activities has a bustling brewery providing a refreshing end to a long day spent on the trail or on the water. “Protecting our water supply is protecting our beer. We take these things seriously,” says owner Rob Martin. In celebration of Ipswich Ale’s 25th Anniversary we are pleased to present Ipswich Riverbend Pils, an easy drinking, refreshing Pilsner.
