NH's Smuttynose Brew Featured in Emmy-Winning 'Breaking Bad'

A local brewery got a taste of the national TV spotlight Sunday night, courtesy of a small cameo during an episode of AMC's "Breaking Bad."

The logo of Hampton's Smuttynose Brewing Company was used to enhance the background of a pivotal bar scene near the end of Sunday's episode of "Breaking Bad," which was titled "Granite State" and included various references to New Hampshire.

The episode was the second-to-last in the critically-acclaimed TV series, which also won the Emmy for "Outstanding Drama" on Sunday.

The Smuttynose logo is shown over the right shoulder of Bryan Cranston's character, Walter White, the lead character of the series, near the end of the episode. White, a high school chemistry teacher who became a meth kingpin following a diagnosis with inoperable lung cancer, uses a bar pay phone to make two calls that will dramatically impact the character's future before taking a seat at the bar, with the Smuttynose sign in view.

Several people posted on Facebook about the inclusion of the Smuttynose logo, including the brewery itself. 

"We saw it and have had many friends and fans sending us messages..." wrote Smuttynose on its Facebook page. "It's been a thrill for sure!"
