Hey all,
The Saison d'Automne hit the taps on Sunday, and boy is it a "gourde"-ous beer. A lame attempt at a pun. Come on in and give a Butternut squash saison a try and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Tyler

Pumpkin carving...
Hey all,
Make sure to carve a frowny faced jack-o-lantern because the Portsmouth Brewery's Pumpkin Ale is gone for the season. We replaced it with the Smoked Dunkelweizen. This beer features house apple wood smoked malt that comes trough right at the end of the swallow to enhance the phenolic characteristics that the Dunkelweizen already has. This is a great food paring beer, since you can use the malt sweetness to help quell any spicy food you might be enjoying, and the smoky/phenolic flavor and aromas go amazingly with grilled meats.
But don't you fret if you are a gourde beer lover, we still have a few tricks up our sleeves. The Saison d'Automne,that was made with Butternut squash, is conditioning and will be ready in a few more weeks. Plus Dogfish Head's Punkin'ale should be walking tough the door any minute now to replace the next beer that will kick.
I know you are going to start to see the winter beers hit the shelves soon at you local supermarket/bodega. Fight the machine! Fall beers are what we want to drink now! And will be fore a few more months :)
Cheers,
Tyler

I'm Back!
Hey all,
So I have been back for a few days now. there was so much to catch up on ate being gone for 15 days that this is my first time to have a few minutes to sit and fill you all in. I got married on October 1st to Rachel who i had been dating for 6 years already. So to answer the inevitable question...not to much has changed...other then my left hand feeling oddly heavy :) We headed up to Bah Habah, aka Bar Harbor if my down east accent didn't translate correctly, for the Honeymoon. We spent the days in Acadia National Park, hiking and biking, and the evenings eating and drinking our honeymoon away. We had an amazing time up there since it was our first time, but we both decided it wont be our last. I am excited to be back at P-brew making beer again. Not making beer for that long i went though a bit of withdrawals, but I feel back into it like I was riding a bike.
Since I've been back we have made the Biere de Garde, Le Chat Noir, Wheatwine and a Berliner Wiess. Nothing like some fun beers to get the brewing juices flowing again.
See you soon for a pint!
Cheers,
Tyler

Where's T$ anyway!!
Yes, all you beer lovers attuned to the P-Brew notes our Tyler Jones has been on his honeymoon with his sweetie,Rachel. The two were married in Chocorua NH on the first of the month and while they were off in the wilds of Maine we've been here holding down the fort. It seems that is about all I could do and was unable to blog because I leave that to the young ones. Plus Brian, our newest member of the P-brew brew squad, and I were busy trying to catch up with the movement of the ebb and flow of early Fall here in Portsmouth. So, lot's of beer changes in the last few days and hours...... Pumpkin replaced the Hop Harvest 2 (sad face :-{(} w/ mustache and clean beard) and is made with 200 pounds of organic Dickinson pumpkins from Blueberry Bay farm in Stratham NH. Gently spiced with ginger,cinnamon,allspice,nutmeg and cloves this beer is a gem of a vegetable beer with light aromatics and a easy medium body for drinkability. The Alt came on with the passing of the Octoberfest. This German style brown ale is conditioned to a dry finish. This ale starts with a malty medium body and ends with the kiss of hops making the finish nice and dry. Lastly, the Rye Not pale ale took the place of the Ginga Ninja. This crazy ale has 55% malted rye in the grist profile making it taste big and malty but not cloying. The finish is where the balance comes on and takes the beer to the next dimension with good hopping and a delightful finish. There are some great beers on now and we're hoping to keep the goodness coming with some great fall beers. Stay in tune and be on the lookout for Tyler's return tomorrow. Cheers! Todm
