We had a reasonable drink here last weekend whilie waiting for our reservation time at a restaurant in downtown Keene. Nice beers. We wanted a snack to tide ourselves over until dinner, unfortunately they were all out of pizza crust. Sat at picnic tables outside and unfortunately there was no place to sit out of hearing of music from loudspeakers read more

eh, this place has always been a little iffy, in terms of vegan food, but I think yesterday was my last visit. Sad, as I've been semi regular here since they've opened, but life goes on. I walked in with two people, three more friends were on their way to join us, but, given the lack of food options, we all decided to leave B&B early and reconvene at another local place that had both beer and food we all could eat. In addition to not having anything vegan to eat (not even potato chips!),we were not allowed to order food to be delivered. Although this was communicated politely, it's actually a very rude thing to impose on customers. So, on one hand, if vegans aren't this businesses main focus, its totally understandable not to go through great lengths to cater to us- But, it is an extremely poor business practice to both not serve vegan food and not allow customers to order their own food. Given the number of areas businesses that value vegan customers, it shouldn't be too hard to replace B&B in our rotation. read more

The place was packed, but the service was fast and friendly. We enjoyed the beers we had. We didn't eat this time, but everything on the menu sounded good, and the food we saw on a nearby table looked great. Hopefully next time we can stay longer and eat. read more

Not a fan favorite. We've eaten in person and ordered through door dash multiple times and never had a great experience. Between lack of friendly service, orders being made incorrectly (with no modifications keep in mind), and timely service. We've crossed this off our list of places we like do not eat at, 100%. I had hoped with multiple visits it was a one or two time dislike, but it continued to happen each time. We've found friends of ours giving similar reviews when talking about the establishment. read more

I feel like I am having a series of excellent brewery experiences lately as I noticed I have been dropping a lot of five star reviews as of late. Branch and Blade Brewing is no exception to this string as Steve and I had a very enjoyable beer from this brewery. Dark Adaptation was the name of the beer we had from this brewery. A pastry stout style which I usually really love this beer was very good! We split the portion between the two of us as this is a pretty rich and boozy beer. It is barrel aged which accounts for much of that. This beer had a very appealing booziniess along with coconut, chocolate and vanilla which generates a nice complexity and is practically a dessert in of itself. Great experience with this brewery and this particular beer and I would love to explore more of their craft beer choices in the future! read more

Branch And Blade Brewing - Dark Adaptation by Branch and Blade Brewing! - Beer Bar Near Me - Keene, New Hampshire

Slow. Diverse. Flexible. Set behind a nondescript industry park B&B is a great space to enjoy a road of great beer in warmer months. Unfortunately due that the offering of 5 pour flights bar service can be remarkable slow so patrons in a hurry should think twice about contributing to flightpocolypse by having groups of people all ordering different pours due to the sheer volume of options at B&B. Parking lot food truck food (VoodoBox) was better than expected and a great way to keep the beer flowing with delicious comfort food and sandwiches. read more

Good 2 house cocktails. Chicken wings with fries plus Mac & cheese. Weather cooperated and was able to eat outside. Brought home an assortment or 4 beers. Place was busy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Look forward to returning. read more

Staff was very friendly and receptive to allergy issues. Family said their burgers (a couple different kinds but don't remember the exact names of the items) were all really good! However the rice bowl and ramen bowls were pretty flavorless and would not recommend. Friend said his wings were just okay. Husband said he would return for a beer and a burger but that's all. read more

Came here to try the peanut butter beer (Sack Lunch) - worth the trip! It was so cool to try a lighter beer that is flavored with peanut butter. It has the pan smell and taste nailed. Wish that they had it in to go cans, but they said it sells out fast (understandable). Picked up a few to go cans to try later. Quick and friendly service. Poor cell signal but they have public Wi-Fi. read more

Great selection of beers!!! Large variety. Their flights give you many choices! The food here is fabulous! We ordered the wings and their blackened mahi mahi burrito. Amazing!! Wings were so crispy!! Burrito was incredible. Highly recommend!! read more

We love the beer and atmosphere here. Every time we visit, the selection is better than the last. The one request I have is to offer women's T-shirts and not just unisex. We want to represent this great beer company and look good doing it! read more

Perfect brewery experience. Range of delicious beers, tasty bar food, great outdoor area. Beers - 4/5. Great range of sour beers on drafts as well as IPAs. You can get a flight of 5 beers. I really enjoyed 2 of the 3 sour beers. Food 4.5/5. Food was even better than the beer. People loved the garlic parm wings. People liked the gold digger wings but felt it was too saucy. We modified the "make your own fries" to create a credible poutine. I got a beet burger, which was totally solid and tasted mostly like a black bean burger. read more

If you like fruity and sour beers, you MUST visit this place! Always so many on tap and more to take home! The people here are super friendly, and we always enjoy ourselves when we visit! There is plenty of parking at this brewery, and they have plenty of tables for everyone. They have seating indoors, outdoors on their deck, and outdoors under their tent. They serve both indoors and from their outdoor tent, and they serve food, too, so you can grab a seat, enjoy, and stay a while! They allow dogs on site (and every time we've come, there are plenty of people with pets!), and they have live music outside (and their speaker system really works, so you can enjoy it no matter where you sit on their property!). Definitely a place to plan for when you're in the area! read more

Awesome creative beers! Never had beers so fruity and with a smoothie consistency, totally unique. Nice space as well, dog friendly patio, lovely staff. Can't wait to come back and try the food!! read more

Great place to get food and beer, hear some live music and play corn hole. We had the VooDoo "Chuck yeah" chicken sandwich with tots, a burger, etc. and the food was great...though the tots were a bit overdone...could t taste the potato...no seasoning. The Master of Puppies West Coast IPA was excellent. As it got dark the mosquitoes were vicious...and so we cut the outdoor festivities short...they closed a bit early, but the staff was very nice and the service was excellent. read more

I was in Keene last month doing some work at Keene State. My second evening there, I walked over to Branch & Blade. On foot from downtown, it's a bit of a walk. But I was there is 30 minutes. Not bad really. The service was great! Very friendly. The atmosphere is a mix of wood and industrial, but I like it. It's low-key and inviting. I had the BLT and Fries for dinner. Got to admit, the food was good. Nice sourdough bread. Clean, fresh ingredients. Tasty! No set price for flights. Pours are based on the beer and range from $2 to $3 per pour. Ok, the beers: I had Anthesis (sour), Woke (DIPA), Lust (NEIPA), Mermaids Lemonade (gose), Electric Love: Mandarin Orange (sour), Lone Survivor: Psychosis (stout), and Lucid Nightmares (DIPA). All were very well-made and innovative. The stout was a solid no-frills beer. Lucid Nightmares was the standout - hazy, piney, floral, and clean. I also bought a glass, which I only do from breweries I enjoy, from my collection at home. Branch & Blade was definitely one of the best breweries I been to! read more

Sat inside but the beer was in plastic cups. Maybe the dishwasher was broken or some other reasonable explanation. No explanation was given but had there been one we would have said Okay, we can deal. Short pour on the stout, I'm not kidding it was SHORT. Maybe a bad day but for god's sake, do better, there is a lot of local competition for my beer dollars. All you have to do is the basic easy stuff and I'll come back and make recommendations. I can't say I will for either. read more

Great beers. IPA"S are wonderful. Suggestion, Buy your tires up the street at Sullivan tire and walk down to this brewery and relax with a pint while they change over your tires. The brews are fairly priced at $7 to $9/16 oz but when taken as a flight, a pint will set you back $18 for 4/4 oz glasses. Too much. That is why I took one star off. read more

The beer is always awesome but the food is out of this world! Highly recommend the nachos, the burgers were huge! Highly recommend!!

What a wonderful surprise! Very good sour beer and food also great. Had fish tacos and also fries are the best. Will definitely come back to this place. read more

Been a huge fan of the beer so we finally went to the brewery. It's a hidden gem. The beer is amazing - my favorites are Born Sinner, Psychedelic Love and Electric Love. Food was awesome - I had a juicy lucy burger, which was perfect. My wife took home a good amount of her mac & cheese. It was a bit crowded in the cold, can't wait to go back in the spring! read more

Awesome BBQ and unique and delicious Sours. It's a good place to go just for the food alone! read more

Although Branch and Blade only opened a month or so ago, it is now our go to place for a delicious beer. These dude know how to make great beer! They are passionate about what they do and it shows. The vibes are super welcoming and the staff is freakin' awesome as well. There are some picnic tables outside for when you want to take in the awesome sunny days. Often times there will be very adorable, well behaved pups outside as well, which to me, is a super plus :) read more

This place is awesome and would have gotten 5 stars from me but one bartender kept me from doing that! The beer is amazing, the food is so good and "most" of the staff was super friendly! On our visit this weekend we encountered a bartender who was less than happy to be doing her job and was very rude to my husband and I! She definitely put a slight damper on our experience. With all that to say will definitely be back because overall it was great. read more

Nice vibe with live music on Friday evening. Our bartender was just perfect and the beer we had was good. The downside was that I'm a vegetarian and even their fries aren't veggie. I got the falafel salad which was 12 bucks. It was tasty enough but i think it only had one mashed up piece of falafel- not worth that price-- the same price as my honey's sandwich and fries... didn't seem fair. All that to say, I'd love for people in the area to do more than variations of cheese and bread for vegetarians and so thus I appreciate the falafel but I think we can do even better!! Oh and my sweetie loved his pulled pork sandwich. read more

Nice little brewery in the Keene area! Live music and food trucks were around on a Saturday afternoon. My husband and I got to try all the beers on tap with a couple samplers. Everything was tasty, it was strange but I liked the pumpkin spice frappe IPA....and I totally dug their A Porter Has No Name. Good vibes inside, great people behind the bar. Seemed to have quite a bit of cans for sale as well. Next time we are in the Keene area we will for sure stop by the B and B. read more

Wow, the sours are phenomenal here. Very creative beer in a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Truly some of the most unique beers around. Would be 5 stars but to be honest it's also super expensive. My flight which consisted of 16 ounces of beer was $20 and single cans cost as much as $6.50 each. I get fruited beers are pricey in general but 20 dollars for 16 ounces of anything is more than I'd expect to pay typically. read more

Perfection! We thought we were lost after turning into this street but we kept going. Arrived at what appeared to be office building turned brewery. We decided to go for it. As we approached you saw lovely sun shade and outside picnic tables. Inside the staff were so helpful and friendly. I tried a flight of ipas and my husband got the stickers. We agreed stickers was best. Are Buffalo chicken sub and special of brisket. It was legit amazing. Got beer to go. Need to go back ASAP. read more

I love this place! Such a good vibe and the most amazing beers, especially the sours for me! Their beers are phenomenal, they have a cool vibe, great food, great service. Also helps they have live music on weekends! My husband and I are hooked for sure! And their staff are just so nice and friendly! Would highly recommend to any beer head out there... totally worth the trek from Boston in my opinion! read more

They did a nice job with the woodwork and the atmosphere. The beer is well above average. Awesome session ipa and ipa's. The food was ridiculouslyyyy good. Nice work BnB. read more

This place is as advertised----scratch that. This place is BETTER than advertised. Despite being in one of those industrial park type places; for some reason that's a popular spot for these new Breweries. I don't love that feel, but I held out hope. After all I wasn't there for the parking lot or outside decorations. The street entrance in funky, off the side at a circle around a corner but its all the way in the back to the right, you can't see it from the road. Once parked I saw a huge tent and beer taps under that...pretty neat. I decided I wanted to go inside first. Small bright warm tap room. With lots of TV's and tables plenty of room at the bar. A nice line que with plexi in spots and scan-able menus. Walls are tastefully filled with graffiti art for sale, brewery merch and past can releases with year of release on the shelf---I like that! Merch was affordable and vast, stickers, glasses, shirts and hats. When I brought up Koozies, the bartender immediately was like that's a great idea I'm putting a sticky note up and wrote it up right away. Speaking of the staff. Both the bartender and waiter were above and beyond excellent. They were really honest and interested in helping, really refreshing. I fully expected to grab a 4 pack and jet but after seeing the food menu I knew what I had to do. So I grabbed a pulled pork sandwich and curly fries. Took a seat out on the deck and instantly the food came out. The portions were so perfect, pork falling off the bun- which was smushy yet firm. The pork was fresh like they just pulled it. It had light sauce, would have loved a side of sauce but didn't think of it at the time because was just enjoying the place and service so much. Th bun was able to soak up the natural juice's but not become soggy--black magic I tell you. Just the right amount of fries to take a couple bites between flight sips. After chatting with bartender of my interests he concocted a great sampler! I usually don't go for stouts but being this was a Nitro session stout, it was so drinkable even in 75 degree sun. Now for the Rhinoceros in the room. Their intergalactic IPAS. This brewery is willing to take chances that I haven't seen in sometime. In the "concentrate" beer they use liquid hops---never heard of that, to give it a fullness of a pulpy orange juice and a taste of Creamsicle vodka--with most likely the same potency-ha! The Icing on cake....they let you buy single cans to go! Left with some Deans mids-my favorite in the flight and a couple of the others just to share with friends the unbelievable flavors. I can see a trip back here very soon....and often. read more

Hey it's difficult as hell to get a Brewery started. There is so much competition these days. With that said how does Keene have just 2 now with this little gem. Had the flight - great names and some good beer too. The Waking up in Hand Cuffs, Hands in the Cookie Jar (made with local ground coffee) and Wise Old Friend we're very good. The Gose and DIPA I'd skip. Dog and kid friendly. Located behind industrial park. It's definitely worth a visit. Good luck B&B read more

What a GREAT brewery! One of my friends and I do tons of traveling for work and like to hit up local breweries - Branch and Blade did not disappoint! We each got a flight and all the beers were fantastic. The bartender was a super kind woman who we chatted with about the beers and the brewery - for two craft beer nerds it was fantastic! We also each got ridiculously delicious grilled cheeses and had a great soft pretzel with beer cheese. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we each also got a full pour! I will without a doubt be back and recommend this play to any beer drinkers who find themselves in the area. Such a fun atmosphere and easy parking are another plus :) read more

Excellent atmosphere, great beer, and fantastic service. Can't wait to come back again and especially looking forward to being able to sit outside read more

Always have a good time here. Their support of local music groups is wonderful, and they offer local wine as an alternative for non-beer drinkers! Always eager to do the right thing when a rare mistake happens. B&B is a real asset to the Keene area brewery scene! read more
