I'll be waiting, maybe I'll crack a cold one in the meantime!

Course I'm spoiled, living only a few miles north of the real mecca of brewed beers here in New Hampshire - Portsmouth!

I miss Lucknow

Tuckermans is close second

There's a few micro brewerys in the Portsmouth area, about 1 hour away.

While not a micro, it is local to New England. I'm partial to the Long Trail Ales

Sounds like there may be a business opportunity for someone in the Lakes Region!

Milly's Tavern (formerly Stark Mill Brewery) is in Manchester, NH and an easy hop from I-293. The beer is brewed on site. They also have "growlers". (Beer to go.) I always stop on my way up. Take the Granite Street Exit. Turn right over the bridge. Make the first left on Commerical Street. Turn left under the Queen Street Bridge. Get a growler of your favorite brew. (Mine being the John Stark Porter.) Put it in your cooler. Get back on Commerical Street like you never stoppped. Follow the signs to I-293, cross the Amoskeg Bridge, and continue north on I-293.

If you have time, the food is excellent. They have been on Phantom Gourmet, WMUR (several times). They heavily support Animal Rescue League. And every year they feed homeless at the holidays.

Bubba,I'm in there twice a week as I work a couple of mill buildings south of Milly's.The owner,Peter Telge is a friend of mine and he brews some very good ales.

Bubba · 05-02-2006, 05:06 PM

excellent brew ... and fresh ... and the entire family is great. If you see a guy on Friday afternoon getting two growlers filled, say hi. I get one filled for a lawn gnome that cuts my grass at the Alton homestead during the week. Very much of a symbiotic relationship.

Again, it's a drive but the Woodstock Inn up in North Woodstock makes some great microbrews. It's about an hour or so from the Lake and a beautiful drive. Well worth a try!

Agree with those that miss Lucknow and the brewing facility at the Castle In the Clouds Water site. That's a loss. Smuttynose has the cleanest and tastiest locally brewed ale in the region. Its on tap at many local stops.

You can also brew your own. There is a store in downtown Meredith where you can purchase all ingredients and equipment for your own personal satisfaction and recreation.

Again,another good friend of mine owns the Woodstock Station.Very good fermented products.Come to think of it,I have one more close friend(you know him Seaplane pilot) who works at the Budwieser plant in Merrimack.How come I know all of these beer related people anyway? I gotta go,I'm thirsty!

I continue to lament the demise of Stone Coast in Laconia. Their 420 IPA was downright marvelous...and at $2.50 / pint, pretty hard to beat pricewise.

At that time, Laconia was my culinary heaven...Goody-Good donuts plus the nachos/beer at Stone Coast. *sigh*

It's easy to make your own and take it from one who knows, it will put a perminate smile on your face!!!

You need water, so, if everyone brewed their own beer it would drop the lake level way down and the finished product,

Have one for me!!

Goody Good donuts were the best !

I strongly second the Woodstock Inn. All brews made on the premisis,the food is great and the atmosphere is fun.
