Cape May Releases Concrete Ship, Renovates Patio

30 Jul 2015 --- This Friday, July 31, Cape May Brewing Company will release its newest beer, a rich Imperial Stout called Concrete Ship that weighs in at 9.3%. While heavy on the alcohol, the brew’s been mellowing for two months, so the flavor that comes through is more complex than boozy. Expect layers of coffee, dark chocolate, and roasted malt.

 The name of the beer salutes the SS Atlantus, the 3,000-ton concrete ship that ran aground 150 feet from Cape May’s Sunset Beach in 1926. She’s been steadily sinking ever since, and only a portion of her stern remains visible. The ship – like the beer – is best described as ‘big.’
