Watch as Smuttynose Framework Rises From the Ground [VIDEO]

Like many construction projects around the area, work on Smuttynose Brewing Company's new $16 million Hampton headquarters wasn't deterred for long due to Hurricane Sandy, as the facility's metal skeleton is beginning to take shape.

The steel framework was recently raised on the Towle Farm Road site, and a time-lapse video of that portion of the new brewery and restaurant's construction as well as a time-lapse of the entire construction to date are both available online thanks to Smuttynose's webcam.

Smuttynose is moving its operations from Portsmouth to Hampton. The new location will feature a 42,000-square-foot production facility for onsite brewing and bottling, a 95-seat restaurant, and the ability to grow ingredients on the premises.

The new facility will double Smuttynose's annual brewing capacity, from 30,000 to 60,000 barrels. The company hopes to complete the construction in mid-2013.

The brewing company earlier this year from the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority to assist in the expansion.

The company purchased the land in 2008, but pressures on lenders after the economic downfall made financing the construction of the project challenging.
