Overview
Smuttynose has been brewing beer since 1994, but we trace our roots back through the early years of craft brewing, to the opening of the Northampton Brewery in 1987 and the Portsmouth Brewery in 1991.
Smuttynose brews a range of beers from our best-selling Finestkind IPA and its seven year-round companions, our calendar beers and The Big Beer Series to the rare and unusual beers of Smuttlabs; we do our best to offer something for almost everyone in the 26 states and nearly 20 countries where we distribute.
We're headquartered on the historic, 17-acre Towle Farm in Hampton, NH. Visitors can take brewery tours and tastings seven days a week; relax with some beer-friendly cuisine in Hayseed, our farmstyle restaurant or enjoy nine holes of disc golf on a course slated to open in August 2015.
