Earth Eagle Brewings Takes Advantage of NH Nano-Brewery Laws & Opens In Portsmouth

Exciting news as Earth & Eagle Brewings takes advantage of the recent New Hampshire law changes that drastically lowers the cost to open a Nano-brewery.  This from The Examiner:

A 2011 law has allowed Earth Eagle Brewings to open its doors in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Brewers Butch Heilshorn and Alex McDonald opened their new tasting room to rave reviews from the beer aficionados that lined up to sample their specialty beers on tap last Saturday. The New Hampshire law that made their business venture possible allows small breweries to sell their high quality beers in boutique quantities to the general public.

Earth Eagle Brewings is licensed by the State of New Hampshire as a Nano-Brewery, which means it can sell its beer to the public at retail outlets and must not exceed two thousand barrels per year. The emerging nano-brewery trend has been made possible by an enlightened piece of legislation that went into effect on July 1, 2011. The new law dramatically lowers the licensing fee for small breweries and makes it possible for very small breweries to compete with bigger businesses. Since the law was enacted, there has been an explosion of interest from entrepreneurs who now have an opportunity to do business in New Hampshire.
