: Old Yankee Ale and Mystic Bridge IPA

Cottrell Brewing Company is a Connecticut-based micro brewery, manufacturing delicious craft beers a fine New England tradition.

Our flagship brew is Old Yankee Ale, which is a medium bodied, American Amber Ale, that has a great up-front malt taste with a refreshing hop finish.

In 2010, we launched Mystic Bridge, which is a great example of a year ‘round New England IPA. A mild earthy IPA with hints of citrus, this beer is great for pairing with foods or for session drinking.

Our latest release, out since December 2011 is Perry’s Revenge Scotch Ale. Revenge is a malty beast at 8.5% with nice round notes of chocolate and raisin. This mahogany colored ale is a winter warmer for sure. Inspired by Charlie Buffum’s scuba diving discovery of Oliver Hazard Perry’s first naval command the USS Revenge was lost at sea in 1811. This year round Scotch Ale will debut in 12 oz bottles first week of February 2012.

Cheers!

Mystic Bridge Pale Ale – Lyrics

admin — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:34:27 +0000

Mystic Bridge Pale Ale Written and performed by Craig Edwards, September 2010

My spirits being weary by the river I did wander
to view the tide as day began to pale
I watched the drawbridge rising when a maiden sat down by me
and from a bottle poured a glass of ale

“I see you are a stranger by your looks you are downcast
Here’s a potion that will wash away your woe
It will lift your spirits higher than the top of yonder mast
that through the drawbridge presently does go.”

Oh the glory in that glass
Flowing like the river’s tide
My heart was filled and lifted like a sail
Here’s to hops and barley, and the brewmaster’s sure hand,
there’s no better brew than Mystic Bridge Pale Ale

She poured out another glass and we drank each other’s health
And watched the stars above the river shine
And the golden brown ale sparkled like my true love’s sparkling eyes
And she pledged her heart and said she would be mine

All you lovers of good ale, if you have a mind to ramble
Turn your path down by the Mystic River side
And bring along a bottle or two of Mystic Bridge Pale Ale
And by good fortune you may find youself a bride
