Hey all,
For those of you whom subscribe to the Portsmouth Brewery/Smuttynose Newsletter this isn't new news. But, I have accepted a position as Smuttynose Brewing Co. I'll be starting with them December 12th. Emotionally it was an extremely hard decision to leave The Portsmouth Brewery because of YOU! I love all the fans of the Portsmouth Brewery out there. I love sitting next to them at the bar chatting about the beer in front of them. I love running in to you in the restaurant during one of my shifts and stopping and chatting with you. I love talking tourist though the paddle in front of them in the summer. I love running into you at festivals. This brewery has become a big part of me in the 4+ years i have been here.
All that being said, since i am still going to be within the same "company umbrella" you have not seen the last of me. I will still be coming in to the bar from time to time, and will definitely stop and talk with you all. I will just be talking about the beers on the other end of the tap lines :) I am sure that Tod and Brian will be able to keep the blog rolling smoothly and keeping you all in the loop of what is happening at the Portsmouth Brewery.
Thank you all who have been following my blog post throughout the years, and as always, I WILL see you in soon for a pint.
Cheers,
Tyler

Ready for Turkey?
Greetings beer lovers,
Been a long time since my last post and tons of water (beer) has flowed under the bridge! Besides the fact that Tyler is adjusting to married life well and with the advent of the cold(?) weather we're putting in some great styles of beer for the colder times ahead. On tap now is my favorite beer of all times, Sierra Nevada Celebration. A true hop lovers delight. We'll be running this delicious amber IPA 'til News Years, I think!! We have our Wheat Wine in condition with 10 pounds of Cascade dry hopping this big bold Wheat beer getting ready for a late December unveiling. Along with some typical big beer styles we have our Winter Wiezen, Winter Rye and our Holidaze Porter all in the final stages of primary fermentation. But the big beer news is that Kate the Great is finally going into the fermenter this week. Patience is for those who can wait...... many months and March 5th KtG will make her annual appearance.We are trying something new this year and we have Ron, the blacksmith over at Strawberry Banke, making us a wooden Firkin to put Kate into to add the oak character. Should be a great addition to what is a fairly decent beer already!! Yuk-Yuk. Anyway, both winter Rye and Weizen are just bigger versions of our Rye Not and Hefeweizen and the holidaze Porter is our holiday version of our robust porter with the addition of honey and ginger. All make for nice wintery elixirs. Well, I've got to prepare for the big brew day tomorrow. So, have a great Thanksgiving and don't eat too much. Cheers! Todm

Side by side Celebration...
Hey all,
We are kicking of the late fall/early winter with a side by side Sierra Celebration on tap. We have the 2011 and the 2010 on right now. We only have one keg of the 2010 Cele, so get it while you can.
Cheers,
Tyler
