Stoneface Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Newington

Easily falling into the top ten New Hampshire breweries for me, Stoneface Brewing Co. never disappoints. Theres a handful of gateway craft beers that got me wanting to try as many as I could & Stoneface IPA at 7.2% ABV was at the top of that list back in the late 2010's. This latest trip a couple weeks back was easily the best yet, there was so many new options to try only available in house I had yet to drink. The last time I had been was in November 2023 so other than the handful of releases I had bought in between, I had been deprived of the dankness Stoneface brews. I ended up making up for lost time by getting eight 6oz tasters though, so my beer scale was balanced.

I'll go over my favorite five beers I got in during this trip. I'll start with the two IPAs, REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING which was good & TREAT ME, which was delicious & the winner between the two. The helles lager I got SIDEKICK tasted crisp & refreshing & was a above average lager for sure. I then got the GERMAN-STYLE MAIBOCK which was excellent & easily the best of the visit, I highly suggest checking that out. I enjoyed the SIX GRAINS FROM SUNDAY Farmhouse Ale, which is a style I'm slowly getting into more this past year. I also took home a really good BARLEYWINE 2023 that I enjoyed at my place later in the week. The beer was delicious as usual & my expectations were definitely met, solidifying the fact I should probably come here more. 🍻💪

I have eaten the smash burger almost every time I have come here, it's one of the things I look forward to along with the beers. Plenty of seating options between bar, tables & hightops as well as outside seating. We had a fun beertender Seth that stood out for his personality & obvious love for beer since he was going over a handful of pours with us. Theres some excellent artwork to check out on the walls to with a awesome mural across from the bar. A really good amount of cans & bottles to go as well which is always a challenge for me to not buy everything I didn't drink while there, such a tease! Great time & if you haven't been, like I said at the beginning, it's easily one of the best in New Hampshire....

If you’re considering scheduling an event at Stoneface Brewery in Newington, I advise you to think again. I began working with Stoneface in late February 2025 on a celebration of life event (scheduled for mid-May) for my husband, an endurance athlete killed in a cycling accident, who loved Stoneface and microbrews, in general. In the beginning, everything was great. Maddy asked questions and I answered all of them, plus I provided information she didn’t request. She seemed to be taking notes when we spoke. We touched base often and I wanted to pay a deposit, but she explained that Stoneface didn’t do that. I asked about it several times and every time she replied that it wasn’t needed. Once I said I wanted a deposit as a contract and her response was, “We’d never back out on you.” All was great until 11 days before the scheduled celebration when Maddy called to say she didn’t think Stoneface could host the event. She worried there would be too many people (she knew all along how many could show up), that there wouldn’t be enough parking (which we talked about repeatedly and she was confident there would be enough), that it might rain (I had offered to rent a big tent) and on and on. She even decided to call other venues on my behalf…trying to be helpful and nice to cover for a complete lack of preparation and what appeared to be sudden panic. I was lucky.m - I found another, better venue at the last minute and the celebration was wonderful. Their behavior was unwarranted and unacceptable. I would give Stoneface Brewery less than 1...

I absolutely love this Brewery, I love their brews !! But some of the food and pricing needs work. Chicken sandwich was $13 , it was good, very small, with no sides... No fries... Too much money... Big A mozzarella were not very good, not nearly enough cheese and way too much breading. Sweet potato Perogies with goat cheese cream which I had today... And well I know goat cheese, this was definitely sour cream used in it's place.. The Perogies were lacking flavor, it said there were caramelized onions , tasted nothing but sweet potato and cinnamon .... The chopped pistachios on top was weird too and didn't add any value ... Their Rubean is pretty good, needs more saur kruat is all.. My biggest pet peve is that fries are an extra side for anything you order, and the size / price ratio of the sandwiches without said fries is way too much for what you get. Again, love the beers, and this is...
