We are in the home stretch of our Beer in New England Series. Up now is the Granite State – New Hampshire.
If you want to catch our previous installments in this series you can find them here:
New Hampshire has a nice selection of breweries and brew pubs, and is home to New England’s largest brewery, the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Merrimack. If you only have one place to go in New Hampshire to sample beer then head to Portsmouth. Portsmouth is home to two breweries – the Redhook Ale Brewery, and the Smuttynose Brewing Company, and one brew pub – the Portsmouth Brewery. In addition, the Throwback Brewery is only a few miles away in North Hampton. A close second would be Manchester with the Candia Road Brewing Company and Milly’s Tavern brew pub.
