10 Best Craft Breweries near Manchester

“Went to Reinvention for a couple of drinks a couple of hours before closing. I'm not usually a beer person, but they have a couple of ciders on the menu if you, like me, prefer an alternative. I wish I had written down the cider that they were pouring when I went, it was excellent!! Service was great. It was very quiet when I went, so my date and I were easily able to have a conversation even with the tv on at the bar. Everything was very clean. We ended up staying a little past closing, the bartender let us hang out while she was closing up. Really appreciated that since it let us finish our last drink without rushing. Overall - this is an easy place to spend a few hours. There's plenty of seating. I'd certainly be interested to see the atmosphere at a slightly busier time, maybe one of the nights they have live music. J noticed a sign on our way out that mentioned music the night before, bummed we missed it.“

“A great new brewery that has delicious food as well as a variety of tasty craft beer. My wife and I had the hazy IPA and it was brewed to perfection. We also had appetizers and enjoyed our food and beer on the deck outside. We got to meet the owners and they along with the servers were very helpful in helping us make our selection. This brewery is a winner with a great selection of beer and food.“

“Cool place, very modern atmosphere. January was"stout month" so we missed that; I guess they had 4-5 different ones thru the month. They've got 12 taps, 3 dark beers but primarily had IPA & sour's this trip; only one pale ale, no lagersor other ale varieties this time. My favorite was their "Wild Turkey 2009 single barrel bourbon barrel aged 2023 American imperial stout." A nice, thick stout with great flavors. Lots of bourbon with vanilla, chocolate, a touch of coffee & just the right hint of sweetness.“

“If you haven't tried Runaway Blue's beers yet, you need to. Now. You'll regret not making the trek to Newark sooner! The tap list changes frequently, so you'll be planning regular visits to make sure you don't miss one.“

“What a super fun friendly brewery. So many locals that just welcomed us in on a busy night here. This was one of a few stops during a much needed girls beer tour. We fell in love with this cozy atmosphere. We got a table in the corner right by the bar and immediately order lots of drinks. I went with a flight: Captain suburbia, cream ale 4.8 5x5 , Vienna larger 5.5 California breakdown , west coast IPA 6.7 Ravenous soul , hazy IPA 6.0 All were delicious but their breakdown was spectacular They have some appetizers available, flat bread pizza, pretzel sticks, veggies and hummus. Really enjoyed our time here“

“Came from New Jersey for a 30th Surprise Birthday and The Rail did not disappoint! We were sat outside under the gazebo where food and drinks were served quickly as needed. There was a variety of appetizers including Wings, Fried Green Beans, Pretzel, and Mozz Sticks, which were all EXCELLENT; and a nice selection of yummy Beers to drink them down with. Jersey is tough competition for food and I actually considered ordering some Wings and Beans to take back for the road trip. Friendly Staff, Great Atmosphere, Excellent Food all wrapped up in a place I probably would've just driven by not even knowing ... Who knew?“

“Ok, really stumbled on this place, never knew it existed. Beer is excellent, food trucks are great. They had a and for their anniversary and was great.Even just "barged" on to a table and was invited right in.Look forward to really coming down here to fully enjoy the beers and the atomsphere.Just on the surface I would highly recommend.“

“Delicious.... I worked for a company based out of Rochester and would frequent this establishment whenever I got up there. Sadly the company was acquired and dismantled but, I have a dreams that keeps me well lubricated.... Would love to get it down here in Florida....“

“Stopped in after another event - and were the first people seated on a Saturday. Food we really liked - had the meatball trio and the fish tacos - both were good. If I had one critique, the meatballs were a little 'crumblier' than I like them - but the taste was nice!We split a chicken bacon white pizza ?- and that was wonderful!I also had the cherry bourbon buck beverage - and I could have had a pitcher of that one - I was worried it would be too cherry-forward, but I thought it was balanced nicely. My wife had the hot chocolate and she liked that a lot too.Parking: Parking around three sides of the bldg.“

“First time at this brew pub. It's right near the lake and adjacent to where the Canandaigua Lady tour boat sails from. Large selection of their own brews. Also, some featured cocktails. I had a flight and we both had the beef on weck, which was outstanding. This is actually one of 4 locations. Lots of outdoor seating (it was raining during our fall visit). Two floors of indoor seating. We were looking for something to do on a rainy day, and the 20 mile drive was worth it.“
