    Anyone have any hot tips as to what's good beer-wise in the Meredith Bay/Winnipesaukee area?

    Heading up there for a 5 day vacation starting this weekend and I'm kinda stumped. Portsmouth will be a little out-of-reach for me, so I'm looking for some kind of local alternative (breweries, stores, bars alike).

    Help?

    Case and Keg right in Meredith has a very good selection for a NH Beer store. Beer knowledge however is severely lacking and the place reeks of incense. Johnson's marketplace on Route 11 in New Durham (right over the border from Alton) has a well chosen selection and has employees who actually drink their product. As far as breweries and bars you'll have to travel to North Conway to Moat Mountain or make the trip to Ebenezer's in Lovell, Me. for anything worth the effort.

    Incense. Oof. Suppose it's worth making an attempt, though.

    Didn't realize how "close" Ebenezer's was either. Very tempting.

    Johnson's didn't seem to come up in my research though...killer tip!

    Thanks!

    Yes case and keg is nice, check dates though, about a month ago there was a lot of lagunitas sucks still and their Maine beer co selection is way outdated, as well. Most of the stuff is legit though. Johnson's marketplace is a great little store. Not many good bars around with craft beer, Patrick's in Gilford probably has the largest selection but even then it's not spectacular. North Conway and moat mountain, like rochefort said, is the best bet.
