Towle Farm Construction Update
The new Smuttynose project continues to move closer to functionality. Our new centrifuge is in place and the packaging line is laid out and being assembled as best we can.

I say, “as best we can,” because our state-of-the-art brewhouse and bottle filler are on a boat, crossing the Atlantic, as you read this. Obviously we can’t brew without these key piees of equipment, but they’re not far off.

The Smuttynose construction webcam is indoors and pointed right where the brewhouse will be, ready to capture the installation in all its glory. We expect the action to begin in early December, so that would be a great time to see for yourself.

Packaging Refresh
2014 holds a lot of new things for Smuttynose, including a refresh of our packaging designs. Here’s the new Variety Pack!

New Beers
Bouncy House, a Short Batch release that’s hoppy but low in alcohol, is out now; Pure Biss (December 8 debut), an unconventional witbier brewed with star chef Jamie Bissonnette, features spruce tips, grapefruit zest and kaffir lime leaves; Smuttynose Barleywine is our current Big Beer release and should be in most markets now. Imperial Stout is on deck for January.
