Hey all,
Add one more beer change to the list. We now have Coffee Milk Stout on. It is our Milk stout infused with "El Conquistador" Costa Rican coffee from our local coffee roaster/shop, Breaking New Grounds. This is a great breakfast/dessert beer :)
Cheers,

Beer lines are changing quickly around these parts...
Hey all,
So i didn't get a chance to put on the special release of our '09 Wheat Wine that went on tap yesterday. But with only one keg of it and the buzz of people that came in for the random Kate release yesterday afternoon it didn't last the night. Do worry if you missed this beer. We are going to be sneaking on some vintage stuff though out the week. So don't you fret.
To fill the empty line we are putting on the Rye Not. This is a Rye pale ale. So it has the great mouth feel/flavor that comes from using 40% rye malt in the grist profile and the hop backbone of crisp pale ale.
Keep you eyes peeled on the blog/facebook for updates of beer releases for the rest of this American Craft Beer Week. I can divulge some details on one of them. Can you say, "Firkin Friday!!"
Cheers,
Tyler

Ah....Springtime
Hey all,
The Dubbel kicked last night and opened up the line for our Saison Printemps. This is our Spring Saison. It has the additions of Wheat Malt and green peppercorns to the beer. This helps lighten up the body as well as enhancing the peppery finish that comes from the yeast strain already.
The Triple is getting very low and will be switching over to Stephan Urquell. This beer is a Czech style pilsner that we made with floor malted Bohemian Plisner malt. So soft, so subtle, so delicious. Springtime fun is happening a pint at a time here at the Portsmouth Brewery!

American Craft beer week 2011...
New Hampshire’s Original Brewpub Celebrates Itself, Other Breweries During American Craft Beer Week
The United States currently has more breweries (nearly 1800!) than at any point since the late 19th Century. Our nation’s small independent craft breweries have been the source of this growth and we want to not only celebrate the hard work of brewers, managers and owners but also thank American beer drinkers for their support as all these breweries have opened, brewed more beer, and provided jobs to over 100,000 Americans.
American Craft Beer Week runs from May 16-22, and The Portsmouth Brewery is proud to announce the following events, promotions and other noteworthy happenings that make up our celebration of American Craft Beer Week which runs from May 16-22, 2011.
-We’ve added some extra tours! You can tour Portsmouth Brewery every day of Craft Beer Week at 3pm! Join Tod or Tyler (our brewers) for an intimate look at our cozy brewery. All tours come with a half-priced beer sampler!
-We’re giving more back! Normally, Tuesdays are Community Pint Night at Portsmouth Brewery, but for craft beer week, every week night is Community Pint Night. We donate 25¢ to a charity of your choice for each beer you buy. It’s easy - on your way out the door, just place the tokens you’ve received in the yellow wooden box mounted next to our front door.
-We’re tapping some special beers! Kate the Great will make THREE appearances over the course of the week, in addition to releases of aged Wheat Wine and Barleywine and a firkin of Milk Stout aged on “El Conquistador” coffee beans roasted down the block at Breaking New Grounds. The tapping times won’t be published, so you’ll have to keep an eye on our Facebook page to get the news.
-We’re giving away a brewday! We’ll be holding a drawing and the winner gets to spend a day with Tod and Tyler. Experience Tod Mott’s wackiness! Enjoy the magic of the mid-morning chowder break! Revel in weighing out hops! It’s really the best reason to call out of work well.
We hope to see you next week but if we don’t, please raise a toast wherever you are. We all deserve it!

What "Gose" around comes around...
Hey all,
So the winter weizen just barely made it though the weekend. I came in this morning to find an very small puddle in the bottom of the serving tank. So it was perfect timing to pull it off and put on the Gose (pronounced: Goh-za). For those of you that haven't tried this beer yet it is very unique style. It is a style that has been made in a Leipzig Germany for many, many years. It is a very low in alcohol beer, ours is at 4%. Plus since the style pre-dates the Reinheitsgebot, it traditionally has the addition of coriander to this light bodied wheat beer. This beer is extremely drinkable and delectable. Let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Tyler

Calling all Shoals Pale Ale fans...
Hey all,
Just wanted to let you Shoals Pale Ale fans out there know that Shoals is back on Tap at the Portsmouth Brewery. As you that have been following the guest beer tap line up out there probably have figured out, we take off a Smuttynose beer to put on our guest beer for the month. So for the Maudite we took off the Sumuttynose OBD, but that gives us a open tap so we can bring back the Shoals Pale Ale! Its time to come in to get you fix of the Original Smutty beer.
Cheers,
Tyler

M&M melts in your mouth...
Hey all,
I am not talking about the left over Easter Candy. I am talking about two new beers that have just went on tap, our Milk Stout and Maudite. The Maudite is made by Unibroue out of Chambly, Quebec. Our friends to the north are going to be our guest tap line for the Month of May. Maudite is their strong amber-red ale. Great fruity/maltness on the nose leading to similar flavors with the addition of some nice spicyness lingering on the tongue. Now the Milk stout just came on last night and is drinking as amazingly as you remember it. The Lactose sugar added to this beer really rounds out the roasty flavors and lets the chocolate and sweet coffee flavors come though. Can you say amazing dessert beer!
Cheers,
Tyler
