Brew Food

We have family in Burlington and often swing over when in the area. I’ve always enjoyed their pizza. Some of the beers can be good too.

Trillum Fenway has timeout market and my tacos and her jerk chicken sandwich delivered to our seat at the brewery patio were great. All the dead heads were out today. Both Fort Point have pretty good food option. But nothing mind blowing. Also have to say the Common beer garden just isn’t our thing. Way too many vagrants hanging around and one snapping pictures of all of us for a while today. Never enjoyed the common area

I’ve also never had a bad meal at run of the mill in Saco for a wider menu.

Some pretty good tacos at Garrison City as well.

Pizza at Treehouse Deerfield hits pretty good as well.

 

My favorite New England brewpub food of all time is at The People's Pint (Greenfield MA) - farm-to-table pub food from scratch, all local vendors, etc. always a great meal here. I am a pickled egg fanatic and their housemade pickles in general are great. They also brew the best craft malt liquor i've had.

It's not fancy or revolutionary, but I'd say it's the best example I've had of what people think when they think brewery food.

Best I've ever had in more non-traditional styles... hmm. Piece in Chicago, Chesapeake and Main (Dogfish) in Rehoboth Beach, Puesto in San Diego. Oh, and the venison mole chili at Three Floyds Brewpub (RIP)

Also, I second the pizza at Treehouse Deerfield!

 

Not any specific brewery, but Masa Taqueria pulls their truck up to many RI breweries and serves up some of the best damn tacos and other specials around. Their full menu is available at a bar in Providence called Rock & Rye. Their motto is “tacos that fuck” and I wholeheartedly agree

 

Black Flannel in Essex, VT. James Beard nominated chef does elevated pub food, as well as the basics very well. Beer pairing advice always available as all staff are Cicerones. Burlington Beer Co. is similar. For a taproom experience with killer beer list & great food, it is Blackback in Waterbury for me.

 

Jesus I forgot to mention Prohibition Pig in Waterbury as well.

Also, the only other place I’ve had Heady topper draft that wasn’t the old Alchemist.

 

Oh man, I think of the burger and fries at Burlington Beer Company often, even if I find their beer to be lacking. Those fries are just salted through, magical. Will have to check out Black Flannel when I'm next up in the area.

 

The OG, Jacks Abby has incredible pizzas.

 

On the topic of pizza, Night Shift Lovejoy Wharf also has amazing pizza

 

The new Spyglass location in Nashua has some excellent food. Have been multiple times just for the nachos- surprised by how good the vegan chorizo was.
Have not eaten myself, but have also heard raves from others on the burgers.

 

Stoneface in Newington, NH has a great food menu.

 

Oxbow in Oxford has outrageously good pizza

 

Completely left out Stoneface. Probably just being so close to home. Their kitchen has been putting excellent food for a few years now.

 

What about Oxbow in Portland with the Duckfat window?

 

Bite Into Maine at Allagash
Bissell Brothers (Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and daily Charcuterie board)
Trapp Brewery (German/Austrian fare)

As others have mentioned, Duckfat window at Oxbow Portland and Burlington Beer Co are really good. Need to hit Black Flannel, never been.

 

Oh shit! How could I forget Bite into Maine.

Liquid Riot has a new chef, tried their fried chicken sandwhich, it was damn good, as were the fries that came with it.

Paired well with their Quad and Mot the Lesser on tap as well.

 

Liars Bench in Portsmouth has a great small bite menu that pairs well with their lagers.

Also, Bissell and Maine Beer Co’s food rivals their beer.

 

Hot chicken at Bissell is excellent! For my add, Folino's Pizza at Fiddlhead with a pour of Mastermind (or Second Fiddle or IPA..) is always outstanding!

 

Cambridge Brewing Company has been putting out stellar beer and amazing food for decades. I love the inventive specials and small plates that they put together for their Barleywine Fest and Sour Beer Fest.
