Smuttynose Brewing Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Smuttynose Brewing Company is a craft brewery that was founded in 1994 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is named after Smuttynose Island, one of the Isles of Shoals.

Founded in 1994 by Peter Egelston as a joint partnership with Ipswich Brewery (now Mercury Brewing company), Egelston quickly became the sole owner.

In 2004, Smuttynose began a plan to relocate to the site of historic mills in Newmarket, New Hampshire, but the deal fell through in late 2005. Currently, Smuttynose is working on plans to build a new brewery on a 10-acre parcel along U.S. Route 1 in Portsmouth.

The current, year round beer lineup consists of Shoals Pale Ale, Smuttynose IPA (aka The Finest Kind), Portsmouth Lager, Old Brown Dog, and Smuttynose Robust Porter. The Seasonals include Summer Weizen, Winter Ale, Pumpkin Ale, and Hanami Ale, a Belgian-inspired cherry ale introduced in the spring of 2007. The Big Beer Series lineup includes Barleywine, Wheat Wine, Imperial Stout, Scotch Ale, S'muttonator Doublebock, Farmhouse Ale and Big A IPA.
