15 Best Craft Breweries near Manchester

“The beer is awesome. So is the staff!“

“The best places are often run by the best people, in my experience anyway. To Share is run by two of the best people, people who have built a tremendous team of people! From this, they produce amazing products, lovely experiences, and build relationships all while bettering the community. 10/10 spot!“

“This place is always great. They always have a good variety of beers on tap. If you haven’t been you should go!“

“Really this was an enjoyable lunch experience. I'm in New Hampshire traveling and was just looking for a local Brewer. These guys not only fit the bill they exceeded my expectations.
Fantastic non-hoppy beers and extremely friendly staff and the food is absolutely excellent. I went in for a burger and ended up with a Bahn Mi on the staff's recommendation and they were 100% correct.
I kind of wish I lived closer because I definitely make this one of my local spots. 6-Stars“

“We’ve been coming here every Sunday with our dogs Hank & Charlie and everyone has been so nice and the staff is always accommodating.“

“Hands down the best brewery in Manchester. Also happens to be the first and still the best distillery in Manchester since prohibition ended. what makes it the best? First obviously is the beer. There are timeless classics that have been on tap for 30 years at Stark and also a nice variety of inventive and enticing new brews that let your tastes go for an adventure. And B, The spirits. Wow, this Bourbon is amazing. Meticulously crafted and patiently distilled giving it a very smooth character that tastes amazing neat or on the rox or mixed into one of Peter's Old Fashions. There is small batch crafted Rums, Whiskey, Gin, and Vodka also available that are top notch. To put a cap on it the food is amazing, look at the menu and pick something and it will be delicious. That has been my experience at Stark.“

“Such a great brewery! Quiant, down to Earth, but still modern and fun, there was the main area, pub tables, bar, and a couch sitting area with a dart board. I was super impressed with how fresh and high quality the beers were, also with the variety (something for everyone). My favorites were the Lady of the Lake and Gemütlich, and I'm super excited for the fall pumpkin brew to come out. The owner was also super helpful and kind, explaining the stories of every beer and giving a good idea of how they tasted before buying them. 100% would recommend to anyone who is considering, and will definitely be back. It also felt nice supporting local high-quality breweries.“

“Impressive selection of handcrafted beer! Comfortable setting up with lots of brewery events. Really looking forward to spending some time here!“

“Awesome time at Oddball Brewing in Pembroke, NH for a pint & a flight. June 2021 was the last time I was here & the taproom was completely different looking, but the vibe was the same cool fun atmosphere. I remember the previous time I was here you could see the brewing area from inside the taproom. Almost every table was taken up this Sunday afternoon, but my friend & I scooped a open one near the bar as people were leaving luckily. It was great to see them busy & thriving though, I know there was a change a couple years ago, but I can't remember exactly what went down. Let's get to the important part though, the beer. 🍻🍻🔥☘

I started off with a pint of the LITTLE IRISH RED CORVETTE - OFFICIAL Red Ale that was a excellent red ale, a style I've become really fond of lately. My first taster in the flight I scored was the SIREN STOUT ON NITRO - IRISH IMPERIAL - OFFICIAL that was a good slightly above average Imperial. My second taster was the WILLY'S WITBIER - OFFICIAL Wheat Beer, again it was good, but not great. My third 4oz was the GLASS BEACH PALE ALE - OFFICIAL that I thought was really crisp & refreshing for a pale ale. The last taster was the delicious VOW OF SILENCE BELGIAN TRIPEL - OFFICIAL which I had had on my previous visit years ago, but still enjoyed & held up now. 🍻🍺💪💪🔥

All the usual seating options here including tables, hightops & limited bar seating. It was definitely fun to run into & talk to a few friends of the page for sure, makes continuing to work on this worth my time. I didn't get his name, but the beertender was super friendly & gave me a sample of a beer he helped create THREE CHEERS HEFE - ANNIVERSARY BEER - 2025 - OFFICIAL which was really good with subtle banana on the finish. Great brewery, well worth checking out if you haven't been or haven't been in a while like myself, cheers! 🍻🔥☘✌♥️🍺

BEERGASM RATING - GREAT TO SEE THEM STILL GETTING THEIR BEER ON 🍻🍻🍻🍆🍆🍆💦💦🔥🔥☘✌♥️🍺

“Downtown Derry brew-pub, with innovative and delicious libations.“

“Absolutely top tier beer ? and delicious food the staff are great people too always welcoming wether you're a regular or new to the establishment. The bar isn't big but it never feels crowded with the kind of people that gather here. I highly recommend going here and trying the door and beer my favorite on the menu right now is the Peach Papa, and the PuPu platter nachos, and beach pizza, these are not always on the menu but everything I have tried so far has been great and I will definitely be coming back.“

“Our new favourite stop on way to Boston. I wish all burgers were that delicious in rest of NH breweries. Pizza was top notch too. Beer selection is great too. Bot focused on stouts and dark beers but there are lots of options. Definitely will come back.“

“it's unmistakable what 603 Brewery brings to the table. Since their inception beer has been the mainstay, but what an evolution of their food program and commitment to hospitality unmatched. I will always continue to support the brewery in which has led me to countless incredible nights, and memorable experiences I continue to enjoy sharing with the staff, especially on their events in which have been nothing short of incredibly well-managed without feeling stuffy and micro-managed. This place is special and whoever is looking to find out why and hasn't, should.“

“I absolutely love this place. Great whisky, friendly staff, and awesome atmosphere. They also supply my business with sanitizer during the Covid-19 pandemic which keeps my employees and customers safe. Please support local businesses.“

“Stopped by for our first time and will definitely be back! Fun time at trivia and the whole family had fun. Beers and seltzer were fantastic.“
