From Portsmouth Brewery:
The rest of our schedule is a bit different than in past years. Instead of releasing one beer at the end of the week; we've got FOUR different collaborations brews coming out over two days. The beers will be available on tap when we open in the morning, but each collaborating brewer will join Tyler in the Jimmy LaPanza Lounge from 6pm-8pm to meet, greet and share samples of one of their own beers, as well as their collaboration brew. There will also be Chef Todd-created food pairings for each beer. Check 'em out:
Wednesday, February 27 from 6pm-8pm
-Oatmeal Pale Ale, brewed with Rik Marley from Flying Goose Brew Pub. This golden-colored pale ale, gets a soft, yet full mouthfeel from oats in the mash, while healthy doses of Simcoe and Zythos hops add a hefty hop pop. This beer tips the scales at a modest 5.5% and will be paired with cheddar and corn fritters.
-The first of two Seacoast collaborations was brewed with Annette Lee, co-owner and brewer at Throwback Brewery in Hampton. Holy Molé Porter is a chocolate, molé-spiced porter made exclusively with regionally-grown and Massachusetts-malted Valley Malts, cinnamon, cumin and locally-grown jalapeño peppers that were smoked at Throwback (a process we like to call chipotle-ization). Chef Todd will be serving molé-braised chicken taquitos alongside this 6.8% beer.
Thursday, February 28 from 6pm-8pm
-Cirque de Citron was brewed with Tim Adams from Maine's newest craft beer cool kid, Oxbow Brewing Company. This dark saison was brewed with Buddha hand, citron (both are exotic citrus fruits) and Chinese long pepper in the kettle plus lots of Amarillo hops in the hopback. Tyler says this one is a bit more heavy duty, at 7.9%. Imagine how tasty this will be alongside a a crispy springroll stuffed with Vietnamese-spiced tofu and veggies!
-Last but not least, new-kid-on-the-Seacoast, Great Rhythm Brewing, teamed with Tyler to brew a wheat stout, named Total Eclipse of the Stout. This 6%, black beauty has an unusual grain. All the color and body in this beer comes from specialty wheats; which means no specialty barley malts were added to the mash. Homemade hazelnut brittle studded with chocolate-covered cacao nibs will accompany "TEOTS."
