What a great weekend!

Hey all,

So this weekend was a perfect weekend to be out and about.  And by the amount of beer changes that happened this weekend, it looks like a lot of you came on in to the Portsmouth Brewery.

The O'fest, Project X and Pumpkin all kicked this weekend and were replaced with Saison d'Automne, pHunkin and Smuttynose's Homunculus respectivly.

The Saison d'Autome is a Saison that we brewed with 100# of butternut squash.  We were sick of Pumpkin getting all the praise in the fall for the only beer you can make with a gourd.  This Saison has really nice body to it from the use of the squash, and a very nice spicy note from the yeast strain used.

The pHunkin is a new beer for us.  It is a American sour Pumpkin Ale.  I promiuse you that it is unlike any pumpkin ale you have had before.  The sour kettle technique gave a very nice fruity tartness up front that mellows as you drink it to a earthy body to the beer.  If you are into sour beers, give this one a try.

Suttynose's Homunculus is a newer big beer from them.  It is a hoppy Belgian pale/ipa and you can read all about it here.  Make sure to share it with your gnomies!

Cheers,
Tyler

  1. It would be nice if the "on tap now" tab had a list of the current or "current as of". There are some great beers I was hoping to know more about... rye-Becky, what hops are those?
