Saco River Brewing Taphaus in North Conway, NH for a few pints of some varying styles. Having drank a good amount of Saco River Brewing beers over the years I had always wanted to get to their taproom & try something right from the tit. The original location is in Fryeburg, ME, but I was just happy to try their secondary location since it was literally right next to where I was staying at the Eastern Slope Inn Resort in downtown North Conway. I'm sure I'll get to the OG brewery eventually along my travels in the future. I mostly had their IPA's in the past including HORNETS NEST DIPA, when I got drafts or cans in the wild. This time I went a more traditional route since I was there, grabbing a couple different style lagers on top of a IPA. π»π»π₯β
My first pint was a side-pull of the MUNICH HELLES LAGER which was super crisp & refreshing, the perfect beer to start the visit with. I then grabbed a pint of the LAZY RIVER IPA which was dank & really juicy made with tropical fruit. My last pint was another side-pull, this time it was the MUNICH DUNKEL Lager, a super roasty delicious dark beer with the perfect balance of sweet & slight spiciness. All the pours here were excellent, but I really enjoyed the LAZY RIVER IPA, it totally hit the spot. π»π₯βππ€
The taproom has all the seating options including a small bar, hightops, tables & a patio area outside. There isn't a lot happening inside the taproom itself to really give it its own look & standout from other places, but they're fairly new here so hopefully that comes with time. The bartender Tim was super friendly & fun to talk beer with for a bit during the visit. They have a fridge with cans to-go for home or tastings with friends later. Again, another great spot on my North Conway trip, cheers! π»π»π₯βββ₯οΈπΊ

Β Β Β Read moreI've been going to the fryeburg location for a number of years. I've always enjoyed the beers they have produced. This for my first opportunity to try their new location in north conway nh. The beer was exactly what I was expecting. Nice selection and very well made. Balanced and great flavor. We had the pretzel bits. They were great and the muster and cheese dip were really good. We also had pizza. The pepperoni and the saco. Great pizza. Crust was good and the topping awesome quality. Highly recommend going here for at the very least a deer. You should order food while you are there. You will not regret it. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing you again next vacation. ...
Β Β Β Read moreMaybe we visited at the wrong time (11:45 for lunch on a Sunday) but we had a terrible experience at this restaurant. Our food order took forever and came out at very different times with the kids meals coming out last - why would a hot dog and chips take forever? Our server couldnβt have been more unpleasant to the point of almost refusing a second setting of silverware because we used the 1 she provided us with already (we had 7 people in our group). She dropped our food and closed cans of soda on our table and we had to track her down to get the parts of our order that never showed up. Everyone working there looked positively miserable. Food was decent but the menu is...
