USA, NH: Smuttynose Brewing collaborates with Stone Brewing Co. to release Cluster’s Last Stand

Smuttynose Brewing, located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire-started collaboration with San Diego’s Stone Brewing Co. to create Cluster’s Last Stand, Shanken News Daily.com on June, 17.

The limited release beer, which marks the first collaboration brew for Smuttynose, will be released by the middle of July as part of the brewer’s Short Batch Series.

Only 30 barrels of Cluster’s will be produced at Smuttynose’s Portsmouth brewery. It is meant to be a recreation of the well-known Ballantine IPA as well as a tribute to the original American IPAs and the Cluster hop, which the brewer says is “now considered passé.”

The beers in the Smuttynose Short Batch series are available at select locations along the East Coast.
