Ipswich Ale

Mercury Brewing Company was founded in 1991 in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The company’s humble beginnings included only two styles of beer, the flagship Ipswich Original Ale and the Ipswich Dark Ale, and were self distributed by the employees in 64 ounce “growler” jugs.

Today the company continues to grow, having expanded their line of Ipswich Ales to include an IPA, Oatmeal Stout, Nut Brown, and various seasonal and limited edition brews. They also produce a smaller, specialty brand known as Stone Cat that is only distributed in Massachusetts.

This summer, the company will be expanding into a much larger space of its own in the heart of downtown Ipswich. The new Ipswich Ale Brewery will be 36,000 square feet, with a brand new brewpub. The new facility will also make it possible to hold tours, which is not possible in the current location

Mercury Brewing Company is a craft brewery that continues to be a North Shore tradition. Each of their brews is hand crafted in small batches from the finest hops and malts and naturally conditioned. All their recipes are unfiltered for purity and unbeatable taste.

Look for Ipswich & Stone Cat Ales at your local package store and restaurant and sail into the experience!

Poland Spring

The Poland Spring® Brand Natural Spring Water story starts about 13,000 years ago when a glacier retreated in what is now Maine. The brand’s beginnings in recorded history took place in 1793 when the Ricker family settled and opened an inn near the original spring.

Descendents of the feudal and knightly Riccar family of Saxony, the Riccars drifted across Europe, settling on the British island of Jersey before finally arriving in the U.S. Two brothers, George and Maturin Riccar, arrived in the middle of the seventeenth century and settled at Chocheco (Dover), New Hampshire. The Rickers of Poland Spring are direct descendents from Maturin, the younger of the brothers.

The water’s purity and perceived health benefits gained accolades as the 19th century dawned, and the Rickers Wayside Inn grew into a celebrated health spa. Hiram Ricker began to bottle the spring water in 1845. By 1904 the water had gained international praise earning medals of excellence and top honors at the World’s Columbian Expositions and the World’s Fair. In 1907 the first spring and bottling houses were completed and in 1913 the Riccar (i.e. Ricker) Inn opened. The Poland Spring resort went on to host US presidents (Cleveland, Taft) movie stars (Mae West), and business leaders (Joseph Kennedy).

Through the great depression, two world wars, and the social upheavals of the 60’s generations of Northeasterners continued to rely on the Poland Spring brand for delicious, natural spring water. Today, Poland Spring® Brand Natural Spring Water is collected from several spring water sources in Maine. These sources have been selected for their similarity and compatibility in taste and mineral composition. Adding additional sources allows the brand to meet demand while protecting the environment.
