Coos Brewing Company in Colebrook, NH for a couple pints & a flight of that northern New Hampshire goodness. I was about as far north as you go in New Hampshire & could smell the poutine from across the border in (blame) Canada. Coos Brewing Company sits a minute or two from the Vermont border as well with my GPS taking me through a really cool covered bridge, but also roads I felt that if I broke down on I would disappear without a trace. This is one brewery I'm definitely happy to have checked off my bucket list though. I've been drinking them for five years or more now whenever I see something new available at my local beer store. The menu here was varied in styles including a couple wheat beers, a DIPA, NEIPA's, pale ale, saison & a lager. I covered as much ground as I could so let's get to it. 🍻🍻☘☘🔥🔥
I started off with a pint of the GOOD BEER Lager, a crisp & clean good beer for sure. I then grabbed a flight of four starting with a 4oz of the SAISONADE Farmhouse Ale which was delicious & had the perfect amount of tartness & lemon flavor. My second taster was the RASPBERRY PUCKERBRUSH Sour, again another winner & very drinkable for summer. The third 4oz pour FIFTH LAKE Pale Ale was good & dank with grapefruit on the finish. The last taster was the WOODLAND WIT Wheat Beer, a good above average wit that would be great in a pint with a orange. For my last beer I scooped a pint of the IN THE PATH OF TOTALITY IPA, which was everything you could ask for from a American IPA. 🍻🍻🔥☀️☘
The space is fairly large with the brewery being connected to the big taproom with plenty of tables, some couches & bar seating. There is a kitchen here, but I was saving my appetite for later in the day. Plenty of beer to go here for home or tastings with friends. The service was excellent & our bartender knew her stuff beer wise which is always refreshing. They have a flight board that can carry six beers, with two of those you can cover the tap list of twelve here. Definitely worth the three hour trip from southern NH, check it out, cheers! 🍻🍻🔥✌♥️🍺
BEERGASM RATING - 79/100 🍻🍻🍻🔥🔥🔥🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦☘☘🏆☀️✌♥️🍺

Read moreI would like to give a 5 star on everything but here are the few things I was disappointed in; my order was definitely not what we ordered. Pork carnitas tacos ordered without cilantro, but order came with cilantro in it. The beef in Korean-ish Beef Tacos was half fat, even though the meat itself and the rest of the tacos were very tasty. The menu has great descriptions of ingredients and such, except for the serving sizes. The portions were very, very small. 1 person could easily eat all 4 of these tiny tacos. The pork tacos were delicious, not fatty at all, great smokey flavor. I feel like some rice, better portions and maybe accurate size descriptions for portions would be very helpful. We had the pretzel bites. They were very good, 2 great dipping sauces. The mac & cheese was good but the cheez-itz got soggy really quickly. It was $70 with 9.50 being a tip for 4 very small tacos, about 3 inches across each, a handful of pretzel bites and mac & cheese. Probably would not go back unfortunately 😕 The cashier was very sweet and the food was done VERY quick, like 10 minutes which was awesome. So lots of ups and downs...
Read moreWe love this place. We've been huge fans of Coos Brewing since their first location. If you like NEIPAs, you'll love their signature Dooryard and Chockoblock. I also am a big fan of the Puckerbrush when I want something a little different.
Just be aware, NH has different brewery rules than other states. So when you're there, you're allowed to order a flight (my go-to) or have a pint. They also have crowlers, growlers, and 4-packs to go. This won't be an all day brewery event, but it's a great pitstop to support a local business and enjoy great beer at the same time.
You're also able to have pints of their beers at local establishments like Black Bear Tavern (Colebrook) and Buck Rub Pub (Pittsburg).
I enjoy the simple aesthetic, and their art (on the can and soon to be on the entrance wall) is second to none by a local artist.
UPDATE: They now serve food, so the beer limitation rule is no...
