14 Best Craft Breweries near Merrimack

“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.“

“We had a baby shower at this venue. It was so cozy and beautiful. The staff was so attentive. I highly recommend the Biergarten.“

“Friendly staff. Pleasant owner. The food was amazing and so were the beers.“

“*** DOG FRIENDLY *****

My Husband and I go here EVERY month. Every month they have new specials and take the time to curate a new burger & chicken sandwich. We look forward to it SO MUCH.

They have the best SMASH burgers in NH, and I always tell my friends & family about them if they are ever in the Manchester Area. They also are involved in their community.

I know a lot of people seek them out because they welcome dogs!!!!!!!! ( That is huge to me) I have brought my dogs there and seen many others. Also, there are a lot of cyclists that pull through. It seems like a destination spot for them??“

“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!“

“Great expanse at the Rambling house! Food and drinks, were great. We were able to spend a beautiful afternoon on the outside terrace overlooking the river. Our waiter Andrew was great always very attentive, polite. Andrew spent some time with us talking about the origins of the restaurant, wonderful September afternoon. Thank you, Andrew.“

“My husband & I stopped there tonight, before going to a show. I do not drink alcohol, but husband wanted a beer. I asked if there was coffee, the very nice young man said he thought they did not, but would check. Came back to tell me they were brewing a new pot, for me. Amazing customer service! Very nice woman at the door & very polite & nice waiter. (Side note: we order food from here, from work, during the day & it’s always amazing!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Solid beer and friendly staff. We visited from Nashville and can't wait to come back. Millie and Alex are awesome!“

“We held our small wedding reception at Pipe Dream and everything was perfect. Everyone we worked with was amazing from the event coordinator Morgan, the chef Corey, the bartender Lisa, and all the rest of the staff. Morgan was great with giving us free range to decorate the space, get music playing, and get a slideshow on the TV. Corey made specific points to work with any food allergies or restrictions which made everyone very comfortable eating the food and checked in on when we wanted everything to come out. Lisa was great to talk to and work with during setup and the reception. We cannot recommend them enough, they really went above and beyond at making everything go as planned.“

“Awesome brewery with great beer! Family owned and run, great people and fantastic brews, something for everyone. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“We have been many times and have never been disappointed. Love the openness, the live music, the food, the beer, great waitstaff. We live less than ten minutes away and it’s one of our go to places.“
