New Java Porter to Offer Local Ingredients

PORTSMOUTH, NH - A new ale courtesy of two NH Seacoast businesses is ready for release later this week.

The Beara Irish Brewing Co., the Lafayette Road in Portsmouth brewery has created a new Java Porter ale has been brewed in a partnership with D Squared Java of Exeter.

The “limited edition” brew, according to a press statement, is a continuation of Beara’s efforts to use locally sourced ingredients in their offerings to raise awareness of local businesses. Other collaborations include its Castletown Honey Brown (made with Rye honey courtesy of SeaBee Honey) and NH Maple Wheat (made with Barrington maple syrup courtesy of Spring Harvest Maple Farm).

“Everyone who came in kept asking for a Porter so we got to work on the recipe,” said Michael Potorti, the founder of Beara and a brewere. “What better addition than locally roasted and brewed coffee from D Squared Java. They cold brewed the equivalent of fivegallons of coffee for us and we infused into our Porter. It came out REALLY good and we are looking forward to sharing it with everyone in early January.”

A kickoff release party will be held in the Beara Irish Brewing Co. taproom at 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 8, 2016, with live music and food. Java Porter Ale will be available in pints, 22 oz. bottles, and growlers through the taproom only.
