Spots to hit in Hampton Beach, NH?

Are you mobile at all? Or confined to Hampton B? If so, I feel for you

 

Blue lobster is worth checking out. Not surenif that is on your list

 

Hampton Beach proper is a dead zone for good beer... and good restaurants... and good waves... but I digress. The 401 Tavern is good, and growler fills at Blue Lobster on Route 1 are a must. There is also a good bottle shop (Top Shelf) right across the street from Blue Lobster.

 

Yup - go here: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/31846/view=beerfly

You wont be disappointed. It's about 10 minutes from Hampton. Brand new, so no reviews on here yet, but here's one if you don't want to take my word for it: http://www.seacoastbeveragelab.com/2013/05/24/whym/

Cheers!

 

You're close enough to Portsmouth to hit the Brewery there, plus Redhood and Smuttynose. Also - the Barley Pub in Dover is not much further....

Prosit!!

 

Yeah, stop in at the Hampton Casino and ballroom Saturday night and tell Al and Vinnie I said hello.

 

You bet! I've only had charcutrie there, but it was fantastic. I hear good things about their burgers as well. If you are day-tripping, follow Bierman9's advice, and keep going up route 1 into Portsmouth to hit up the Portsmouth Brewery. Food and beer are both excellent. Smuttynose does brewery tours at 6pm on Fridays as well.

Here's an idea: hit Smuttynose for the tour at 6pm. They give you a token for a free pint at Portsmouth Brewery. Also, they typically have multiple varieties of their big beer series aged (usually 2008). The imperial stout from 08/09 is awesome, as is Smuttonator.

THEN go to Portsmouth Brewery for dinner and your free pint! I'll be around for a bit tonight, so if you want to grab a drink in Portsmouth, BM me.

 

Blue Lobster in Hampton is open 2-7 today, 2-6 tomorrow, and 12-4 Sunday. You absolutely must go there. Top Shelf Brews store is across the street and Throwback Brewery is up the street in North Hampton. Throwback opens at 4. A little further up the road in Portsmouth is WHYM Craft Beer Cafe.

I highly recommend the Smuttynose brewery tour in Portsmouth. It starts at 5:30 and they ask that you make reservations. They should have bottles of Luna Moth and Durty available.

Check out Portsmouth Brewery while in the area too.

 

Amesbury Alehouse is about a 20 minute drive.

 

I'm afraid not - tomorrow is the Festival in Portland! Have fun though and say hi to Alex at WHYM if you make it there. He knows his stuff.
Cheers!

 

Blue Lobster is an absolute must (Hill Farmstead apprentice). Throwback is close by and the ladies there do some creative stuff. If you get up to Portsmouth and hit Portsmouth Brewery then you may want to check out Earth Eagle, which is right around the corner. Their stuff is pretty good as well.

 

my apt.
