Weekend beer line up

Check out their website, it has all the vendors. Just from reading some reviews on beeradvocate it looks like they do have a tasting room in the brewery, but not sure about direct sales.

Well guys, I haven't located any heady topper, but it's nice to be back in NH for the holidays and I've enjoyed some excellent brews while I've been here. There's nothing better than great beer and good times with family. Here's a few shots of what I've been trying

Here's one of my favorite stouts ever!


Here's one of my favorite pumpkin beers, the nose isn't as good as pumpking, but the taste is amazing!


Here's one from founders is never tried, a very good IPA.


Lastly, one from a newer brewery in NH called 603 brewery. This is their white peaks IPA and it was excellent. It was cloudy, hoppy, and very flavorful. I enjoyed it more than the founders double trouble

 

I got a growler fill of Evil Twin Falco IPA to drink on the rest of the weekend.

 

It's not beer but it's working tonight ...hey is the the holidays. Spiced rum on the rock with vanilla egg nog.

 

Had these for Thanksgiving, both top notch sours

 

Just had some @sweetwaterbrew rations delivered to Northeast Ohio #greatbrew #savethewater

A few more from the holiday break

All were good, none were out of this world incredible. All were beers I'll consider buying again next time I travel home. The craft beer scene in Maine and New Hampshire has vastly improved since I relocated to the Midwest four years ago.





The shipyard smashed blueberry and grittys oatmeal stout combined to make for an awesome black and blue pictured here behind something else Maine does well....lobster!!!

 

Wow. This thread is turning me into an alcoholic. Some great looking brews lately here. The lobster also looks amazing! Going to the East coast and eating seafood until I can not stand it any longer is definitely on my bucket list.

My beverage of choice tonight is Mojo IPA made by Boulder Beer Co. Sorry, no pics.

 

Where you headed to in the east coast fletch?

 

No plans. Just sayin that it is definitely on my bucket list of things to do. I have never been, but I LOVE seafood. Kind of hard to get good fresh seafood in the MIDDLE of the US! lol

My Dad went years ago and had the time of his life in Maine at the docks buying fresh stuff right off the boats.

I am open to suggestions.

 

I feel you on this one fletch! I grew up in north central New Hampshire and had fresh awesome seafood at my disposal daily and took it for granted. Now that I'm in Kansas to get anything decent you pay at least quadruple the price and typically it isn't anywhere near as fresh or as good. Thankfully I can travel back to see my folks a few times a year so I get my fix and now have the best of both worlds: Kansas beef and deer hunting, and New Hampshire seafood and scenery.

Here's A few of my favorite towns up there which may be something to look into for your trip: Portsmouth, NH Meredith, NH (I'm partial to meredith because it's where I grew up) Freeport, ME and Scarborough, ME. My favorite time of year to visit is in the first two weeks of October as the foliage is turning and temperatures are still tolerable. Also late may and June are both great. May offers some incredible smallmouth spawn fishing on the local lakes I grew up on (winnipesaukee and squam lake) and June gives you an opportunity to have summer temperatures without all the hustle and bustle of the peak summer tourism season.

 

You definitely have to consider going to Boston. Awesome city for history, bars, and seafood.

I still do the Sam Adams tour everytime I go there, literally a 10min explanation of how they brew their beer followed by 50min all you can drink in their custom made 'tasting room', and it's free.

 

I would love to take a beer vacation to the upper NE. 3 of my favorite breweries are in Vermont and Maine, being The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, and Maine Brewing Company.

The upper NE is the one area of the country that I have never been.

 

Lots of good beers in this thread. I get crap from my beer snob friends when I admit this, but I despise IPA's. Way too bitter for my tastes. I like lagers, porters, and stouts best.

 

If you make the trip, the last week in sept or first week in Oct is the time to do it.....fall in NE is beautiful.
