    hello
    Going to be in the area over the holidays looking for shops that will provide good selections of VT/NH beers. Thanks

    You are 10 mins from River Roost in White River Junction. They are pumping out some of the best hoppy stuff in New England right now. Growlers and tasters in the retail shop. I've heard that the Co-Op in Lebanon has a pretty good selection of stuff available in NH.

    ...adjacent to Big Fatty's Barbecue across the parking lot from River Roost.

    Cans and bottles are mostly unrefrigerated so remember to check dates on the hoppy stuff.

    Also checkout out Woodstock Hops N Barley, which is conveniently located next to Worthy Kitchen.

    The beer bar at Simon Pearce in Queechee Vt just up Rt4 from Hanover/WRJ is a nice stop — they usually have HF Edward on tap and will have cans at the bar of Sip/Heady etc. The bar itself is gorgeous and the food menu nice - check out the VT cheddar soup w/a pint of Edward.

    As others have said the best options will be in Vermont in WRJ or Woodstock. Crowler Pit at Big Fatty's is best local selection. A bit out of town is Woodstock Hops & Barley, also a good selection.

    The CoOp in WRJ almost always has Sip of Sunshine these days by the case. The Hanover or Lebanon CoOp will have a large selection of craft options from NH distro. Lebanon has more (much larger store).

    Best bets for drinking on-site (pubs) are Big Fatty's or Trail Break Taps and Taco's in WRJ.

    In Hanover Ramunto's Brick & Brew and the Skinny Pancake have decent tap lists. (By NH standards)

    Not much in Norwich business wise, but the Norwich Inn has Jasper Murdoch's Ale House. Their beers are all good quality, mostly British styles.

    What days will you be in the area? I'm about 15 miles north of Hanover.
