Early Roots: Portsmouth & Brewing Legacy

  • Brewing in the Portsmouth area goes way back: there is evidence of brewing activity in Strawbery Banke (the old historic area of Portsmouth) as early as the 1600s (c. 1635).

  • In the 19th century, Portsmouth was home to multiple breweries. The Portsmouth Brewing Company (distinct from today’s Portsmouth Brewery) was founded around 1870 (originally as A. Harris & Co, later renamed) and was one of three main breweries in the city (alongside Frank Jones Brewing and Eldredge Brewing).

  • The older Portsmouth Brewing Company produced beers such as India Pale Ale, Cream Ales, Old Brown Stout, Hop Beer, and “Portsburger Lager” among others

  • That original brewery (and its successors) ceased operations around the time of Prohibition (c. 1919) and never came back under that identity



About Modern Portsmouth Brewery:
Founded in 1991 in historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Portsmouth Brewery was the state’s first craft brewpub. Known for its motto “We Serve All Types,” it became a beloved gathering place offering handcrafted beers like the famous Kate the Great Russian Imperial Stout. The brewery operated for over 30 years before closing in 2024 after a major flood, leaving behind a rich legacy in New England’s craft beer history.
