Beer can of Shore Leave Lager

Westbrook Beer Partnership

The USS Yorktown Foundation has partnered with Westbrook Brewing Company to create a new brew just in time for summer, Shore Leave Lager. The name refers to the time sailors were permitted to go ashore – to take leave of their ship and spend time on dry land. The beer is inspired by the sailors of the USS Yorktown and their impromptu beach parties on the shores of Pacific. Rumor has it that a Yorktown pilot once flew a clandestine case up to high altitude to “chill it to perfection!” 

At Patriots Point, history lives on through tangible artifacts. Teaming up with local organizations like Westbrook Brewing adds a delightful and unique dimension to our endeavors in a meaningful way. Our ongoing partnership with local businesses not only expands our mission but cultivates fresh support. 

A portion of all proceeds from Shore Leave Lager will support the USS Yorktown Foundation's mission to inspire children, visitors, and the world by promoting America's longstanding traditions of service, leadership, duty, and sacrifice through education, exhibits, programming, and community outreach. You can purchase the beer at Lowes Foods or at Westbrook Brewery.
