14 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!“

“A fantastic and must visit brewery and burger joint. Smashburgers were delicious and the gentleman that worked there fantastic. It's got rustic charm and an area for someone to play live music.

They have delicious daily specials that you should check out.

I think the price is fair for the quality of the burgers and being a double Patty. It also comes with delicious fries.

Frankly, these guys eat bad burgers lunch.“

“Stark Brewing Company is an awesome spot. Peter, the owner, generously donated his space and welcomed his patrons to support a fundraiser for my Boston Marathon team with the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole event run smoothly. Great food, great people, and a great place for both dining and hosting an event. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I revisited last night after a few years. We had a fantastic experience. Clearly, a very well run and service oriented restaurant. The greeters at the reception desk were all very pleasant. The owner Marcus happened to be there and seated us. He also checked in on us during our meal. Very positive experience where he clearly cared about us and our experience. Our server, Daucey was exceptional. Very personable, attentive and pleasant. We're definitely going back and bringing friends.“

“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.“

“Great local nanobrewery with creative beers on tap and bottles to go. I try to stop in once a week.“

“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 🍻🍻🍻🍆🍆🍆💦💦🔥🔥☘✌♥️🍺

“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.“

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

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“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.“

“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.“
