Monday March 7th:

Kate the Great Day! The Portsmouth Brewery will open its doors for business at eleven on Kate Day. Beer lovers will be invited into the building in groups of 50, spaced 15 minutes apart, until the restaurant is fully seated. This is to assure that service (and beer) flows smoothly, enabling Portsmouth Brewery to provide the best hospitality throughout the day. The official tapping of Kate will take place around 12:30-ish.

Smuttynose Brewery Tour To accommodate Kate Day guests, we've scheduled a special tour that day at two o'clock. (But please refrain from showing up early, lest you be press-ganged into cleaning the dark, scary corners of our warehouse.)
