Specialties

Welcome to Smuttynose Brewing Company, the Granite State’s leading craft brewery. We were founded in Portsmouth in 1994 and moved to our new, state-​of-​the-​art, LEED-​registered brewery at historic Towle Farm in Hampton in 2014.

Our award-​winning, hand-​crafted beers include our full-​time offerings: Finestkind IPA, Old Brown Dog Ale, Shoals Pale Ale, Bouncy House IPA, Robust Porter and Vunderbar Pilsner; seasonals: Pumpkin Ale, Winter Ale, Summer Weizen and Durty (for Mud Season); and others: Big A IPA, Noonan Black IPA, the Big Beer Series and our small-​batch Smuttlabs beers.

Visitors are always welcome, with free tours and tastings offered daily. Our restaurant, Hayseed, is slated to open at Towle Farm in the fall of 2014.

Smuttynose is affiliated with the Portsmouth Brewery, New Hampshire’s original brewpub, located in the heart of downtown Portsmouth.

History

Established in 1994.

Smuttynose Brewing is owned by Joanne Francis and Peter Egelston, who, with his sister Janet, founded the Northampton Brewery in western Massachusetts in 1987, and the Portsmouth Brewery in 1991. After operating for twenty years in a warehouse building in Portsmouth’s industrial park, we moved ten miles south to our new, state-​of-​the-​art brewery located at historic Towle Farm in Hampton.

Our beers are distributed in more than two dozen states and exported to Europe and Asia.

Meet the Business Owner

Peter E.

Business Owner

Peter grew up in California but moved to New York in 1978 where he earned a degree in Spanish Literature at NYU. He quit his job as a hotel doorman and took a more «dignified» position — at half the pay — teaching in a large public high school in Brooklyn. In 1986, his sister Janet talked him into joining her in Massachusetts where they would open what is now the oldest brewpub in the northeast: the Northampton Brewery, where Peter served as head brewer until 1991, the year they opened the Portsmouth Brewery. In 1993, he attended the auction of the bankrupt Frank Jones Brewing Company where he ended up purchasing the brewery that was to become Smuttynose. Peter and his sister remained business partners until 2000. She is now sole owner of the Northampton Brewery, and he and his partner Joanne are proprietors of Smuttynose and the Portsmouth Brewery. Today, Peter divides his time among the Portsmouth Brewery, Smuttynose Brewing and various civic and charitable activities.
