“Came here for the first time yesterday with my dog and it was such a great experience. You can bring your dog inside, which is amazing, the vibe is great and the cider menu is even better! Highly recommend the Hello Sushi and Cranbarrel for unique, delicious, and not-too-sweet flavors. Can't wait to go back again for one of their amazing food truck partners.“

Garrison City Beerworks Brewery • $
455 Central Ave, Dover

“Let me say first: A definite stop for anyone on a brewery tour! The Edison Imperial IPA has to be experienced.Aside from that. I loved the layout of this place! Divided areas offer many choices to congregate and it's well lit without feeling "clinical", which is a plus for those of us who like the looks of brews along with tastes and aromas. A shame it was drizzling that day, that outside seating area looked very inviting.“

Not only did the Sparkletoes Imperial IPA not disappoint, but the whole atmosphere was so chilled and relaxed. I really enjoyed my visit and hope to make it back soon! Would recommend that anyone doing a brewery crawl add this to their route!“

“Very impressive. I stopped in here on a recent trip through Portsmouth just because I liked the name. Extremely well made beers, with authentic German styles, something that always makes me happy. Had an excellent bratwurst to go along, and it seemed to have a great, friendly local following on a weekday afternoon. I'll certainly be back on my next trip in the area.“

Tributary Brewing Company Brewery • $
10 Shapleigh Rd, Kittery - 10.17 miles

“Just do yourself a favor and stop here. The beers are diverse, the people are friendly, and the owners might be some of the best humans to grace this place we call Earth. Seriously, it's the perfect place to try all different types of beers (not just 12 Hazy IPAs) and really get a feel for different styles and brewing techniques. I can't stress enough how much of a hidden gem this place is; a true and authentic beer tasting experience.“

“My first encounter at Earth Eagle Brewing.Very comfortable seating with a pleasant atmosphere and exclectic decorations.Hot Dog and Hamburger fare is perfect for delicious lunches. They have very creative topping ideas and a plain one for less adventurous patrons. I will also like to add that the Shields brand is already my favorite frank and I was glad they have them. The only one in the group that had a burger liked it also.Great selection of quality brews! We each had a flight which was clearly labeled when they arrived so we knew which ones were chosen.Our service was great and knowledgeable of the products.A couple in our party also enjoyed cocktails.We had a teen with us so I want to add how friendly a place is was for him.A good time was felt by all!I'm excited to try out the Somersworth location now.I will recommend Earth Eagle Brewing for others to experience.Vegetarian options: The Cole Slaw was creamy and savory.Parking: The Free Parking in front was limited and filled.“

Stoneface Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
436 Shattuck Way, Newington - 6.37 miles

“Good atmosphere, typical brewery vibe. Food is good for the price. I got a Reuben and loved it. The beers are top notch. I'd recommend trip or quad clip if you're into IPAs. The wait staff was 10 out of 10. There was a mix up with our order and they made it right. Overall great experience, would recommend going here for a cheeky Sunday funday or hanging out with people you enjoy talking to (because you can actually hear them). 5 stars!“

Earth Eagle Brewings HOMEBREW SUPPLY (not pub) Brewery • $$
Barclay Square, 350 NH-108, Somersworth - 4.39 miles

“Found this little brewery walking around downtown Portsmouth on a rainy day. We had popped into several boutiques to kill time and stay dry, so it was nice to stumble upon a nice watering hole to change things up!My boyfriend and I both got a flight and between the two of us we tried most of the beer on tap. Reasonably priced (I think $12 for 4 beer samples). They had a little of everything and all had a good flavor, there wasn't one that we didn't like. My boyfriend's favorite was the New England Gangsta (IPA) and mine was a sour... I'm the worst and forgot the name but it was a very mild and enjoyable sour that didn't leave you smacking your lips.We didn't try the food, but it all looked good from what was coming out around us. They have a "dog" side of the menu and a "cow" side... I feel like I'd be team hot "dog" if I did get food as those were best looking of all the food coming out!It was a cozy little place with some bar, table and cozy couch/chair seating. Small and intimate. The lady working was super nice and friendly, and checked on us enough but not to the point of annoyance. Loved the service and atmosphere a lot. If I was a local I would definitely frequent this watering hole! So if you are local, not sure what you're doing still reading this review... get your butt off the couch and go quench your thirst here!“

Topwater brewing Brewery • $$
748 Calef Hwy, Barrington - 6.28 miles

“I was invited by friends to enjoy some live music and beverages while we celebrated a birthday.The music was amazing! Matty was playing and his band member, Mike also played a few songs with him.I tried the Cabin in the Woods coffee stout. It was a great stout! I also ordered a burger and fries. Burger was cooked perfectly, the fries were incredible!!! The pizzas I saw being delivered to other tables also looked very good. I’ll be back to try a pizza soon!I did not go inside. The weather was nice so I enjoyed being out in the patio area. We sat at one of the picnic tables. There were several umbrellas (free standing), picnic tables, string lights, fire pit, corn hole game board and benches for more seating. It’s not a very big space and people brought their own chairs in too.There seemed to be a small outside bar but it wasn’t in use.Drinks and food took awhile to get. That’s part of being outside when your server has to go back in to use the computer, get any supplies and the food/drinks. They had 2-3 servers covering this space and they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed and confused at times with guests checks.Overall, great experience and I recommend checking it out!“

“Our first time in and my husband and I had a great experience! We sat at the bar and ordered the steam buns, Dan Dan noodles, and Cubano sandwich, all delicious! It’s really tough to find a brewery that actually serves good, quality food. Shout out to the chef and kitchen staff for a job well done. We also chatted with the manager, Jasmine, who was very nice and welcoming, she clearly takes pride in her business, it shows! We highly recommend. They also allow dogs on their patio so we will be frequenting Omnium in the summer with our pup for some more great food and beer.“

“Cisco Brewers Portsmouth is such a consisteny great place. I've here a few times each month since 2022. So many good beers, drinks, and food. The Whale Tale Pale Ale is my go-to. Great flavor and only 5.6% abv. Often food at breweries takes a back seat to the beer. Not so at Cisco Portsmouth. The Boom Boom shrimp, chicken tenders, Brussel sprouts, and egg rolls are all excellent appetizers. Burgers and all the entrees I've had have been great too. Plenty of space inside and out including parking. Outdoor music and tables in the summer. Private event space. The staff is friendly and the service is really good. This place has it all. You should try it“

Stripe Nine Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
8 Somersworth Plz, Somersworth - 4.42 miles

“My family came here on a whim and we really enjoyed it. Great, casual ambiance and pleasant waitstaff . There were several TV's tuned to various sports events and a live band. Noise level wasn't overwhelming for a restaurant. Various beers, cider , softdrinks and spirits. They offer several sizes, including a small 4oz, which is perfect if you just want to try various brews.My kids got pizza and a ravioli plate. The ravioli was slightly cold, but the pizzas were great. The toppings were really good quality (Fresh veggies) and they offered unique toppings, ( such as Buffalo sausage and potatoe puree). The restaurant is appropriate for all ages and was reasonably priced. My kids liked that they could watch their pizzas being cooked in the wood fired oven. We will definitely be back.“
