Smuttynose Tasting

with Special Guest Glen Bulloss, Jr.

MSWS Downtown 5:30-6:30

In 1991, in Portsmouth, NH, partners Peter and Janet Egelston (bro & sis) and Mark Metzger started New Hampshire's first brewpub, the Portsmouth Brewery. In 1993, they were ready to take the next step. Purchasing the assets of a bankrupt brewing company, the trio opened Smuttynose Brewing, Co. in 1994. The name comes from Smuttynose Island, the third largest of the Isles of Shoals off the Maine and New Hampshire coast. Today, not even ten years later, Smuttynose beers are sold from Maine to Florida and as far west as Wisconsin. (So when your west coast friends visit, hand them a Smutty.) They boast a solid lineup of year round beers (their Old Brown Dog being a MSWS standard) and a collection of tasty seasonals. This week, we taste samples of both. Get ready for the beers of Smuttynose Brewing Co.
