In the midst of Beer week, Royal Impy Stout hits the taps...

Hey all,

We have officially started Portsmouth beer week.  The weekend kick off brought many people into town walking and tasting beer all over this fine town.  One of the new beers that was put on today was the Royal Impy Stout.  This beer is available on draft and 11.3oz stubby bottles in the retail store.  Come give this new beer a try and let me know what you think.  It is big bold and a great beer to celebrate Portsmouth Craft beer.

To keep the beer flowing here at the Portsmouth Brewery is always a interesting (and fun!) juggling act.  For those of you who have been on the Tour here you know what a small space we have.  All that being said I have the taps almost full with Portsmouth Brewery beers!  I have replaced the bulk of the guest lines with the collaboration beers i have had in the "What's in the Works" side bar for the past couple of months.  Once the keg of Smuttynose Wheat Wine kicks we will be putting on the Portsmouth Best Bitter filling all 10 taps with beers made within these four walls!

Hope to see you all on Wednesday and Thursday night for the Collaboration Showcase/Meet the Brewer event in the Jimmy Lapanza Lounge.  Wednesday we have the brewers from Throwback and Flying Goose, showcasing the Holy Mole' Porter and Oatmeal Pale ale respectively.  Then come back the next night to meet the Brewers from Oxbow Brewing and Great Rhytum brewing.  We will be showcasing the Cirque de Citron and the Total Eclipse of the Stout, respectively.  There will be food and beer pairings as well as a possible special beer from the "guest" brewery.


Cheers,
Tyler

    Tyler the Royal Impy Stout was excellent! It's great to see another kick ass RIS in house that deserves all the hype, but allowed for a comfortable night out to dinner tap night. I didn't miss the insantiy...well maybe a little.

    Thanks for all the love on the Royal Impy Stout. I am excited on how it has turned out and glad you guys are enjoying it.

    Here is my description of the Royal Impy Stout.

    A super dark, full-bodied Russian Imperial Stout with flavors of dark chocolate, raisins and sweet coffee that takes over the mouth. As it warms hints of aged oak help balance the alcohol in the finish. Layers of flavors in this beer come out as you take another sip.

    Cheers,
    Tyler

    Just curious, Tyler, but is the Royal Impy a barrel aged RIS, or does it's flavor have similarities to aged oak?
    Cheers!
