Smuttynose Scotch Ale 2013 Has Some Wine Aging

More Smuttynose news this week. The brewery’s Big Scotch Ale is less than a month away. The 2013 release will feature a little variation, a blend of red wine barrel aged Scotch Ale.

The red wine blend should add an interesting complexity to an already bold beer. The brewery describes the base beer flavor as: …caramel and subtle roasted malt flavors, Scotch ales can feature smoky flavors (derived from a small measure of peated malt) or, more traditionally, no smoky flavor.

Look for this in 22oz bombers in mid-October.

Style: Scotch Ale (Partially Wine Barrel Aged)
Availability: 22oz bombers. October
Arrival: October, 2013

8ish% ABV

Stone & Smuttynose Create Small Batch “Last Stand”

Stone Smuttynose Custer's Last Stand

Stone Brewing Co (Escondido, CA) and Smuttynose Brewing Company (Portsmouth, NH) have teamed up to create just 30 barrels (930 gallons) of Custer’s Last Stand. Stone’s founder Greg Koch joined Smutty in the brew process in New Hampshire, where they made – don’t be surprised – an IPA. Not just any IPA though, a “right-after-Prohibition Ballantine IPA” as mentioned in Stone’s Mitch Steele’s book on IPAs.

Tappings of this beer continue in August. If you’re around New England, look out for tappings – found here. Bottles will go on sale on July 19th at Smuttynose. $9

Style: IPA
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft. Very Limited
