Who invented the internet!

Hey all,

So this program is still not allowing me to change the left side of the blog. So here is the scoop.

-HH2 is on. The wet Warriors give a nice spiciness after the resin flavor wears off.
-Black cat is the Oatmeal Stout 5.25 ABV 26 IBU
-Pumpkin is gone for another year :( The Pumpkin is followed by the Whipper Snapper (4.5% ABV 20 IBU). The Whipper Snapper is and American style mild ale. The British Mild ale is a easy drinking low alcohol session beer. So we kept the easy drinking session beer part and through in the American twist of hopping it like an IPA! Ya for hoppy session beers!
-The cask has changed from the Alt to Oatmeal Stout dry hopped with Chinook. Chinook is another hop that give a spicy flavor to beers, but with just a hint of earthiness.

Cheers,
Tyler

Hummm...

Hey all,

I have been trying to updated the left side of this blog for two days now and the website wont let me. So here is the deal until I can figure out how to fix it.

The Cask changed to Alt dry hopped w/ Hallertau

Hop Harvest 1 is almost gone and is going to be changing to Hop Harvest 2. The second batch is made with wet Warriors, 60#'s again for 7 bbls. Warrior hops are and intensely spicy hop and that comes though quite nicely on HH2. It should be going on shortly, maybe this afternoon, or tomorrow. Just a heads up.

Tod is gone to Germany for a vacation so I am solo for the week so I have a ton of work to get back to. See ya all in for a pint real soon

Cheers,
Tyler

Go UNH! Beat Villanova!

Hey all,

UNH homecoming is today. Go Wildcats! I am sure that I will see a good chunk of my old UNH crew here at the brewery after the game.

There is so much stuff going on at the brewery that there was no way I could go to the game. First off the new brewers table (#23) was released today, there was a taste out this morning and it is going to be a good one. We just added new beers to the Brewers’ Cellar. We have Chimay Red, Triple and Blue bottles available now at the brewery. The Hop Harvest I went on this morning. Plus, we have a couple of servers that just left to go help out at the chili fest down in Prescott Park.

Did me sliding the Hop Harvest news in the middle of my info help it last a few days longer? Only time will tell :)

Cheers,
Tyler

Fall beer for a fall beer.

Hey all,

The Octoberfest flew off the taps! We decided to put on a fall beer to replace a fall beer. You will now be able to enjoy our Pumpkin Ale. This beer gets most of its color from the 100 lbs of fresh organically grown Dickinson pumpkins we put in the mash. Thank you the great people over at Blueberry Bay Farms in Stratham. We add the usual suspects of spices, but add them real late in the boil. This makes the spice character nice and mellow, so the beer isn't overpowered. A nicely balanced beer once again.

Cheers,
Tyler

New tye-dyes!

Hey all,

Are Tod and my matching shirts not cute? Ha! They are the newest shirt in the retail store and I swear we didn’t plan on wearing matching shirts for the video shoots. But so it is. The cask has changed over to the 5 C's IPA Summit Hop Bomb. After making Hop Harvest I we had about 10-15lbs of wet hops left over and there was no way we were throwing those out! So we stuffed a few casks full of wet Summit hops. This will be your first chance to get a flavor/aroma profile off the Summit hops before Hop Harvest I hits the taps. We tried it, and are getting a sweet citrus characteristic from them. Some say tangerine, others say pink grapefruit. You be the judge.

Cheers,
Tyler

Welcome to Hop-toberfest

Hey all,

Hop-oberfest is the only word for the line up of beers that are coming out soon. To start off the run we have 5 C's IPA that went on tap today. This beer (for those of you that haven't been waiting by your computer for this beer to go on) is our version of an west coast IPA. The big citrus hoppiness is in the nose and the palette. Great start to Hop-toberfest.

Now about the NH Brew fest that is happing on Sat we have gotten a few e-mails about what we are bringing. The list of what everyone is bringing is on the website (brewnh.com) but our list is...

Dirty Blonde
5 C's IPA
Octoberfest
Pumpkin

This festival seems like it is going to be a great time. Tod and I are both pouring so come on by and say Hi.

Cheers,
Tyler
