Hey all,
So the RyeBock hit the taps last night. It is a new recipe that is loosely based off a Maibock recipe. I changed the malt profile to include both Flaked Rye as well as Malted Rye. They both add some very nice body up front to this German Lager. Plus the natural spiciness of the Rye was enhanced with both White and Black pepper. enjoy!
Cheers,
Tyler

Sour Brune is Retired on BeerAdvocate?
Hey all,
So for all of you Project X fans out there I am sorry to say that the X w/ Cascade is gone. Hope you got some while it lasted. Now to please the Sour Beer fans out there...
The Sour Brune has hit the taps! We did a sour Kettle with this batch, similar to pHunkin but using different bugs. With the pHunkin we used strictly Latco which gives you that great topical fruit aromatic with a big puckering sour. For the Brune we used a blend of Lacto, Pedio and Brett and let it sour the kettle for longer then normal... and I'm loving the results. The Tropical fruit of the lacto is still there, but there is other funky/earthy flavor and aromatics that the pHunkin didn't have.
This beer is worth a try!
Cheers,
Tyler

The Holidaze is over...
Hey all,
They holiday season is always a crazy time for the Portsmouth brewery as well as me personally. But with it all the shopping done, holiday party's attended and unwanted gifts most likely returned by now we can get back to the business of making some Beer!
Over the weekend we the British lost some hold on our tap line up. Both the English Mild and the ESB kicked. We have put on a great German Lager in the Munich Dunkel and the next iteration in the Project X series, this one has Cascade all the way through.
The Munich Dunkel is divine! The crystal malt sweetness hits you first and almost takes over the tongue. Then just when the thought of the beer becoming cloying almost develops you get some nice toasted cracker flavors reminisce of an Oktoberfest that finishes super clean and refreshing as a lager should.
The new Project X reminds me of a saying I heard a few years back about the thought of opening a brewpub in the 90's. "All you need is a 7bbl system and cascade hops!" Cascade is the O.G. Mother Hop of so many of the new huge alpha, west coast, IPA hops that everyone is using these days. Some times its nice to remember the good old days. This X come off with a great Grapefruit peel citrus notes with some slight spiciness. The higher then normal Beta acids comes though with that little aggressive finish to the beer.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Cheers,
Tyler
