A brewery anywhere will work so long as you can get adequate distribution. The problem is market penetration in something that is clearly very competitive.

As long as the brewery makes good beer. Mediocre beer will not fly in today's market.

I'll take Sip of Sunshine over Heady.

My favorite local is probably anything from Deciduous in Newmarket

https://www.facebook.com/DeciduousBrew

and Great North in Manchester.

Tie Dyed Session and Tragically Hopped. Tasty!

If you are a fan of IPA's for NH brews give Stoneface a try. They recently moved from 16oz bottles to 12oz cans making them more user friendly in my opinion.

SoS vs. Heady, I'm going with Heady. Sip seems like more of a west coast style IPA to me, not that there is anything wrong with that.

I'll take any IPA/IIPA from Trillium or Tree House over both of them though any day of the week.

I've been at Stoneface. I work over at Pease. Nice new pub.

Good beers.

Trillium and Tree House are great as well.

Bissell Brothers is another. Portland is full of great breweries.

If you want a take a little ride or find yourself in the North Country, I highly recommend Schilling Beer Co. in Littleton. European-inspired craft beer. Flatbread pizza's, soft pretzel roll with homemade butter & beer dipping sauce, sun-dried tomato hummus were all fantastic. Looks like they will be expanding at some point in the next year. The brewery is located in an old mill building along the Ammonoosuc River. Place was packed on Sunday. Lots of families. Outdoor seating available.

I just heard there is another small brewery to open in wolfeboro behind Hucks. I found a few of their beers in the cooler at Mill Street meat so I inquired as the labels on the bottles were hand written.

Great place and you must really like it to head 10 minutes the "wrong" way after skiing.

Especially for good brew and food! I think I am in love with the barmaid!

While not Lakes Region, in my opinion the best brew pub in NH is Moat Mountain Brewing in North Conway. They brew all their own beer, they have good food and good atmosphere. There is always a good crowd. They sell growlers on site. You can find some of their brews at local supermarkets in 16 oz cans in 4 packs. Their Blueberry is the best Blueberry ever, blows away Seadog Blueberry. Check it out.

Moat is great. In addition to their beers the nachos are great.

Lone Wolfe in Wolfeboro just opened their new spot at 36 Mill St. last Friday. It's a full-service restaurant now in addition to serving their own beer. I haven't been yet but I am going to try to hit it this week (they are closed Mondays).

Burnt Timber is trying to open a full-service place adjacent to Mise en Place. It's all TBD right now.

Kettlehead in Tilton is brewing pilot batches.
