Brewing Victorian Style in the UK

Director of Brewing Operations, Dave Yarrington and Minister of Propaganda, JT Thompson, traveled to the UK in February to brew a batch at beer at Wadworth Brewery which was to be in 850 JD Wetherspoons pubs as part of their Real Ale Festival.  The beer was called 'Murrican Mild, 4.2% American-style mild ale brewed with orange peel and lots of late boil hops and dry hops. 

Here's a videologue of their adventure.

The Case of the Mis-Coded Beer

Zahm Shake #1

In the perpetual quest to create Smuttynose TV content, we're beginning a series of videos that document the Zahm shaking techniques of our brewers. In this first clip, Dan Schubert, our lead brewer, explains the process of checking the carbonation level in finished beer. It involves the copious shaking of a Zahm-Nagel SS-60. If you want to know more you should just watch the video.

Hanami Ale on Japanese TV

2010 Smuttynose Hanami is Bottled

Last week we bottled this year's Hanami Ale, our spring seasonal. This beer, brewed with large amounts of pure, tart cherry juice, is our homage to the Japanese tradition of "hanami" or cherry blossom viewing. We'll start shipping Hanami next week. Like the cherry blossoms themselves, this beer's season is brief, and it disappears quickly. Cheers!

Our first run of Big A IPA in 12-ounce bottles.
