New Hampshire White Mountains help

My favorite area of the Whites is the North Conway/Glen/Intervale/Jackson/Bartlett area. Hiking, skiing (in Winter), and just generally a lot to do in that area. We go up there from Boston 2-3 times a year. And to me, the best damn bottle shop in that area is Vista Bev in Intervale. And a must visit is Moat Mountain in North Conway. Decent to good beer, but great food and cool vibe at the restaurant. Same goes for Tuckerman's. And Saco River Brewing just over the line into Fryeburg Maine makes some really good beer also.

I don't know as much about the other areas of the Whites, but Schilling/Resilience in Littleton makes killer beer. Traditional styles through Schilling and more modern styles through Resilience. Although I have never been the reviews of the actual brewery and town of Littleton make it sound beautiful.


Wherever you decide to go, on the way up there are some great NH breweries popping up. Spyglass in Nashua, Kettlehead in Tilton, Modestman in Keene, From the Barrel in Derry, Stoneface in Newington, Decidous in Newmarket

 

Schilling in Littleton. Close enough to make a Hill Farmstead run.

Rek Lis is close in Bethlehem, NH.

Good beer store and a couple pubs with good selection also in Littleton.

 

Yeah definitely hit Tree House. Not sure why I didn't mention it.

 

The new Tree House in Deerfield is super convenient on/off I91

 

This. North Conway is pretty meh IMO. Littleton/Bethlehem are cool little towns and have Schilling, which is just stellar, and are an hour-ish from Hill, Waterbury/Stowe, Lawson’s and more. It’s honestly one of my favorite spots to go, we actually just got back. And you are super close to an embarrassment of amazing hikes in the Whites.

 

North Conway itself is pretty touristy for sure. Which is why we tend to stay in Jackson. But really can't go wrong anywhere in the Whites.

 

North Conway now has Ledge Brewing and when I went last summer it was decent and showed promise. At the outlets in Conway there is now Beer and Wine Nation I believe it’s called and their Facebook page is always updated to what is new. Vista Bev is also hard to beat always have everything you could want.
Honestly drive to Littleton and experience Schilling, great pizza and great beer in a beautiful setting. Can’t recommend it enough!

 

You’re in striking distance to Ebeneezer’s in Lovell, ME

 

If you come up thru Nashua, Spyglass is absolutely worth a visit

 

If you do stay in Jackson or North Conway.

Moat Mountain is decent
American Flatbread has good tap list
Standard Gastropub in nearby Bridgton ME is definitely worth checking out
Ebenezer's is close (mentioned above), great, classic place
Tuckerman Brewing Co.
There is a Seadog Pub if you feel like a blueberry beer

 

Great store in Littleton (for NH distro which is improving)

Smart.

Thursday through Sunday. I think until at least 9 on Thursday and/or Sunday. But a bit later I think on Fri/Sat

 

So it looks like you would pass right through Brattleboro on the way up, Brattleboro co-op is a great place to get VT distro beers (Heady Topper and Focal Banger specifically). And it would probably be a 1 hour detour to check out Modestman and the charming little town of Keene. IMO Modestman is on the same level as Spyglass. And you would also pass right by River Roost Brewing in White River Junction VT. They also make incredible beers.

 

Dinner in Littleton------Taste of Thai on the outskirts of town has really decent Thai food.
Breakfast----------The Littletown Diner for nostalgia, The Coffee Pot for food.
