Smuttynose's Hampton Brewery to Open in November

Smuttynose Brewing Co. posted an update last week on the construction of its new $16 million headquarters and brew pub on Towle Farm Road in Hampton. 

The post included some fantastic aerial photos, which we're reprinting here with Smuttynose's permission. 

Here's the latest on the construction, straight from Smuttynose's blog:

"The main brewery building is now weather-tight. Floors have been poured and interior finishes are being installed. The permanent electrical connection is live, while other utilities are coming online soon. The farmhouse-to-pub conversion is completely framed out and exterior work is underway.

Other elements are coming together as well. Our new beehives have been populated and the apple orchard is in middle of its transformation, but we're most excited about our new brewhouse which will arrive from Krones, a German firm, in early September. If you've seen our current brewhouse, imagine one twice the size, with twice the number of vessels and lots of consistency-making automation. It's like the brewhouse version of a Ferrari-BMW hybrid – quality engineering, strong dependability and high performance. A new bottling line is being built in Italy right now. The schedule currently projects November as when we'll start brewing."

Reached via email, Smuttynose spokesman JT Thompson said Smuttynose is not seeking to fill any jobs yet, though a steady stream of inquiries has been coming in.
