USA, NH: Smuttynose Brewery expands brewing capacity

In an effort to expand its beer brewing capacity, officials at Smuttynose Brewery have added another fermentation tank to the Heritage Avenue facility in Portsmouth, Seacoastonline.com reported on July, 05.

When operational, Thompson said the tank will be capable of producing 3,500 barrels or 108,500 gallons of beer in a year.

It is the last tank in a third expansion of the brewery’s fermentation cellar, said Thompson.

“We’ve had to make significant modifications to our building for each expansion,” he said. “For this most recent expansion, we had to lease off-site warehousing to make space for the tanks as well as extend the roof height and install a portal, through which the tanks were inserted and will later be removed when we move to Hampton.”
