Candia Road Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Manchester

Luckily I live less than 20min from Candia Road Brewing Company in Manchester, NH because it's easily one of my favorites in the state. I'm here once every couple months at least to try a couple of the news beers they've released since my previous visits. These guys do a handful of styles really well including pilsners/lagers, ales & IPAs. This trip I went with a couple industry friends who had never been or heard of it, so I was like "Oh, we going like yesterday." The beers are small batches here so the quality & freshness is always chefs kiss. This time was no different, but at the tail end of Oktoberfest time I got a couple seasonal offerings I hadn't tried yet. 🍻🍺

This trip I stayed with some of the lighter fare that was offered for the season & grabbed a full pour & a couple half pours. The two half pours I got were HEIRLOOM LAGER & WEINER LAGER, both excellent, but the WEINER LAGER won out in the end. I then grabbed a nice delicious pint of the THAT AIN'T MARZ Marzen to finish off the visit which was definitely a above average Marzen. 🔥💪

The taproom here is pretty intimate, but not super small holding a handful of hightops & tables with some bar seating & outside seating during those good weather days. The food here is absolutely phenomenal for pub fare & I cannot suggest the double smash burgers enough. Throw one of those doubles down with a pint of one of their lagers, yes f&%king please. Great staff as well, pretty much can't put this place over enough, go check them out immediately. 🍻🍻🔥☘🍁

Great little micro brewery. For a small space they had a good selection of beers on hand. We tried a few and all were very enjoyable. Crisp, clean, full of flavor.

Food: we ordered Nachos with added chicken. Decent sized tray of food and a good value for the $. Tasty and spicy and filling.

Staff: Super friendly, one of the guys came over and talked about brewing for 5-10 minutes and made you feel more like you were hanging out with friends rather than just being treated as a consumer. Looking forward to going back and trying more of their beers.

Location: parking is a little tight if it had been super busy but when we went we had no issues. The outside beer garden is a cool lil spot too (didn't sit there this time but we have before).

If you are up for a cold brew and looking for a laid back friendly spot that's a little more quiet than the larger breweries this is a...

Thomas is a great help. This is an actual brewery that also sells brewing supplies. Whether you need just some hops or yeast or full sacks of grain he's got quite a selection. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. I think the prices are very fair, some stuff is a little high, some stuff is certainly a bargain but in no way do I feel anything was outrageously priced. There is quite the wine making selection too.

If you let him know in advance what you are looking for he can usually order whatever you'd like. The only thing I've noticed that is missing is he doesn't stock kegging equipment or Wyeast (he has Whitelabs and dry yeast). That being said, I buy the majority of my brewing supplies here for the quality, price, and...
