(Portsmouth, NH) – Smuttynose Brewing just sent out a newsletter this morning updating fans on brewery news. Here’s the latest on the Big Beer Series…

————————–

Fresh from an amazingly smooth meeting, here is the 2012 Big Beer Series line-up:

January- Baltic Porter
March- Really Old Brown Dog
May- Wheat Wine Ale
June/July- Homunculus
September- Scotch Ale
October- Stout (possibly Imperial, possibly something new)
December- Gravitation

Astute readers will notice that two of these releases were carried over from the 2011 schedule. Due to increased demand for our core brands, we lost the ability to have more than one Big Beer in process at a time. This caused two significant delays in 2011’s series and a few small ones as well. We still wanted to brew Baltic Porter and Really Old Brown Dog, so we’ve simply bumped them onto 2012. Otherwise, we tried to make the new schedule with realistic ease-of-production in mind. On other words, we hate missing deadlines and as a result, we set deadlines that were more attainable than last year’s.

These changes won’t affect the Big Beer Series Subscription, as each subscription is good for nine releases, regardless of when you sign-up or how many we offer during the year. We hope that all holiday gift givers clicked on the above link because the Subscription is a great gift for the beer lover on your shopping list and it’ll keep giving all year long.
