Tod Mott arrived at the Portsmouth Brewery in the fall of 2003, at same time the Red Sox signed Curt Schilling and began their run to their first World Series title in 86 years. Coincidence? We think not.

After earning a Master's Degree in ceramics, Tod began his long career in brewing with a homebrew kit given to him by his wife. His professional career began in 1990 with an apprenticeship at Catamount Brewing in Vermont, followed by stints as Head Brewer at Harpoon, Commonwealth, Back Bay Brewing, Quincy Ships (where he was a founding partner) and, most recently, the Tap in Haverhill, where he designed and set up the brewing system. 

A multiple GABF gold medal winner, Tod has continued his winning ways since his arrival in Portsmouth, brewing a wide range of exceptional beers, including his much lauded Kate the Great Russian Imperial Stout. He is also a knowledgable and enthusiastic foodie whose input on the food and wine menus at the Brewery is highly prized.
