Why Stoneface Brewing Credits "Dumb Luck" for 10 Years of Success

Pete Beauregard was tired of "catching bad guys" in cyberspace.

So to fill the space left unfulfilled by his day job, he started brewing beer at his home in Portsmouth. Shortly after (and years before craft beer had taken off in New Hampshire) Pete and some buddies toyed with the idea of opening a brewery.

And in 2014, after receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding, the group of four men executed their vision by opening Stoneface Brewing off Exit 4 in Newington, N.H. In the 10 years since opening, Stoneface has built a strong brand, opened a restaurant, and united a community primarily on the shoulders of one signature beverage: the Stoneface IPA.

The Final Final Question (43:20)

Pete Beauregard is one of four co-founders of Stoneface Brewing, one of the Seacoast's most popular drinking destinations. Founded in Newington, N.H. in 2014, Stoneface is known best for its signature Stoneface IPA, which accounts for 75-85% of the brewery's production. Their latest creation, the Seacoast Seltzer, is now available in stores across the Seacoast.
