The burger was fantastic , order extra aioli to dip the fries in . Beer stick with the lumber jack. Nice service, nice venue

With a new hostess station in place. This spot is much more cohesive. If you've had trouble before with seating. Get back and really enjoy it now. read more

Stopped in for some beers and lunch on a rainy summer day. Could not have been happier with the beers or the great service. Food was good, the pretzel bites were fantastic. It was nice to see a steady stream of people coming in to buy 4-packs. People were getting turned away due to COVID capacity restrictions, so I would recommend making a reservation. read more

Great place to sample a wide variety of microbrews. The food is excellent and unique. Try the pretzel bite appetizer for $10 to go with your beer. They are delicious. read more

Close off the highway. Great selection of craft beer. Super friendly staff. Yummy food. We will be back

My brother and I stopped in for a brew and a beer on our way north. As some others have said in the reviews, the service was sub-par. We each ordered the game burger (very pricey). It was good but it took forever to be served. As far as the beer goes, the beer was very good if you are a fan of IPAs. They had about 8-10 beers on tap almost all of which were an IPA. I am a fan of IPAs, but my brother not so much. Good beer, but a little more variety would bring us back to Kettlehead. Overall, I hope they read some of the reviews here on Yelp and make some changes, as there are more and more brewpubs opening around the area. read more

This just became one of my favorite places for a flight of beers. Great beers and awesome food! We had Parmesan tallow fries with Gouda dip. Best ever- no kidding! It gets busy here so come on off times between meal times. I'll be back read more

The wife and I both ordered flights and every beer was excellent. We also got the nachos which were very good. Definitely would recommend to a friend. read more

Great addition to beer options in the area. Stopped by on a very busy Saturday night but ordering was fast and seats opened up. The decor is very industrial, but it is a brewery after all. Beer selection was great. Started with 2 flights which covered most of the beers on tap. Nice variety, with a couple of solid darks (java porter and nut brown) ranging through a reddish rye IPA and nice crisp Pilsner to a couple of hoppy IPAs. I'll leave the deep beer reviews to Untapped or sone other site but would guess that there's something here to fit most tastes. Also a couple of wine selections if you're not into beer. Love that they serve all in 4oz 8oz and 16 oz sizes for good prices. The food was surprisingly creative and very good. We did the burger and the Korean chicken sandwich. Both are excellent and pretty substantial with a huge plate of fries. Service was great despite being swamped. Nate, our server, was also one of the brewers so was able to put some context to the beers. They're only canning The Agent IPA right now but moving into Quest, the double IPA. We took 3 4-packs to go for friends. We'll be back! read more

See all

PLEASE bring back the old chef and menu!! The beer is consistently delicious, but we now choose to eat before or after a visit to Kettlehead. The new menu has some interesting items but not anywhere close to the options on the old menu. AND....the items that did carry over to new menu (pretzels, pizzas/flatbread) are at a higher price for a SMALLER portion! We've tried the new menu several times and this has been the case, so not a fluke. It's really too bad because we had (for a brief period of time) finally found a local place with awesome beer, great food and nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend the beer....fingers crossed the menu changes back! read more

Beers okay. Not the best selection, but props to NH for trying to be mosaic. The service was kind of awkward. The music, holy sh*t, it is SO bad. And when I say bad, I mean I feel like I'm stuck in a 2008-2011 vortex, reliving my high school years of mediocrity. But like I said, props to NH for trying to be cool. read more

Not only does Kettlehead have a great atmosphere, the beers are probably some of the best tasting microbrews around. I have a friend who works at a fairly well known MA brewery who also agrees that these beers are phenomenal. Kettlehead also has a large menu of (super tasty) snacks compared to many other breweries! Although I do wish growlers were used instead of the crowlers, when I asked for the reasoning they explained that it's a sanitary issue. Most people don't take proper care of the growlers once they're empty and this leads to mold and mildew, which creates a legal issue if someone should get sick. I've brought so many crowlers home and been so pleased with how well they travel and pour (also that they're recyclable!). I visit this place every time I come to visit family. Job well done! read more

Stopped in on a rainy Saturday after shopping at the outlets. Found a seat at the bar for our 20 minute wait for a table. Tried a few different 4oz draughts, bar service prompt and friendly. The lemon mint was fresh and sublime. The Pineapple Funk crisp and tart. We also tried the Java the Nut porter which had just the right touch of coconut. Once seated we ordered the cheeseburger with parm fries and the Thai lettuce wraps. The burger was cooked to perfection. The lettuce wraps, filled with coconut rice, veggies, and peanut ginger sauce were fantastic. We purchased 32 oz cans of our favorite beers to take home with us. This place is awesome, and will be a regular stop on our weekend trips to NH! read more

Their pretzel bites are to die for!! Hands down my favorite item. They taste amazing and the sauce is fantastic. Trust me, you won't be able to eat just one. I ate way more than I should have. read more

Great little place. Lots of craft beer selection and yummy and unique food. I tried a few flights -all were good - especially the Porters (which I'm a fan of anyways). I had the Sashimi tuna - which i have to say was very good. The wife had a pizza and again really impressed. We'll definitely be going back. I'd consider this a hidden gem - but it won't be hidden for long! read more

Best beer in NH! So happy to finally have a good brewery open close to home.

Very good beer selection .food was amazing .waitresses were very busy attending customers multiple beers ordered party of 4 .pizza was fesh and colorful burger was amazing with house made spread wow .hog wings were done to perfection.french fries perfect keep up the good work . read more

Top 5 brewery I have been to!! Awesome place! Can't wait to go back! Food was great, beer was awesome, service was great

Great food, changing menu, and awesome beer. The staff is awesome and the food and drink is next to none. You won't be disappointed with this place. read more

Solid beer and lots of choice. Two stars come off for confusing seating and really loud atmosphere. The music needs to be turned down and noise dampening panels need to be added. The food was on the expensive side and out of four dishes we only liked one, the loaded pretzels. Service took awhile. I'd come back for cans and a quick drink and be out. read more

Love to see a small local business succeed. Went on a busy Saturday evening. They handled the crowed perfectly. While waiting for a short bit got to enjoy one of their Brews. Fantastic. Wait was shorter that we were told. The service was excellent and friendly. The beers were fantastic. As a new business I am sure that they will be tweeking the menu a bit, but overall this was a great place to visit. Wish the new owners and staff well. They are doing a great job so far!! read more

We got a flight and while some beers were OK, several of the others were flat. The food was very overpriced (a small sandwich was $15). I also agree with the other posters about the poor service. I was asked after my meal if I liked the sandwich, replied that I thought there was too much hot mustard on it, and waitress made a face at me, said it was to give the sandwich flavor and walked away. I guess the only reply she wanted to her question was a dishonest one. Then she took my beer flight well before I was finished with it and made a snarky reply when I asked for it back. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times with our daughter and we LOVE it! The food is excellent and my hubby loves the variety of beers, he gets a flight every time! The staff is super friendly, we've never had a bad experience! read more

Excellent beer, asked if they had popcorn which they don't sell and isn't on the menu... however 10 minutes later the bartender came out with a huge bowl of popcorn. Extremely nice and accommodating staff. Didn't eat there this time but food looked great. read more

The fish tacos were good but needed fresh lime and some Cole slaw...steak tip subs were good...fries ok but not great....should offer onion rings/sweet potato fries. Music way too loud. Did buy some craft beer to go. Keep looking for ways to improve and you will be great! read more

This brewery was just ok in my opinion. When we walked in, the music was so loud that we had to yell to hear each other. So that was not the best first impression. The food was good but the beers, not so much. We ordered two flights and sampled quite a few of them, and nothing really grabbed my attention. The peach saison has way too much peach in it. The IPAs were decent. The imperial stout was also decent, but not remarkable. I would go back if the music wasn't so loud and I would sample some more of their beers. But, overall, my experience wasn't the best. read more

Ordered a tasting of four 4 oz pours. One (Nunchuck) was virtually undrinkable. When I requested a replacement, the server said "that is what a tasting is for...you can purchase a new one". That has honestly never happened to me before. Craft breweries almost always go above and beyond to ensure a good experience. If the beer stinks, why go back. The rest of the beers I had were at or above average. read more

We visited Kettlehead brewery this past Sunday and it is now my favorite NH brewery. They have some nice, hazy, flavorful pale ales/IPAs that I loved. We sat at the bar and found service to be fast and friendly, despite how crowded the taproom was that day. We also met the owners who were behind the bar greeting guests and serving, they seemed like great people! We took home a couple crowlers of our favorites, the El Dorado Pale Ale and Quest IPA. This will be a regular stop for us when we're in the area. read more

Four star rating is for the flavor and selection of the twelve beers on tap. Good selection of IPAs covering the citrus to the piney pallet. Food is simple, yet good. My family enjoyed the entire experience. One note - I don't go to a brewpub/brewery and expect it to be a morgue. What people say is loud...I call lively. Well done Kettlehead, soon you will have to expand. read more

Service: bad, rude waitstaff. She gave one fork to a table of three. I had to ask for a knife and got a dirty look. Then had to ask for another two forks later so we could share. Is there a shortage on cutlery? Also never refilled our waters. Ambiance: Music way too loud and they need more sound absorption panels. Lightning is terrible- way too cool and bright. Food: took at least 20 minutes to get two burgers and a salad that was totally overpriced. Way too heavy on the crackers. Burgers were good but fries were cold. There's no kids menu. read more

Great beer. Good food (can be a bit eclectic for pick eaters) and the service was excellent.

I was finally able to try their Veektor Russian Imperial Stout after a long wait. Disappointment! It's good, but for the price . . . I've had much better for literally half the price. Live and learn. read more

This is a brewery! Perfected beer and always changing what's on tap but keeping their speciality. Great small menu to satisfy the need for food when you can't get enough of their beer. The menu is constantly changing, great portion size, and gourmet quality. read more

This place is unreal. The beers are great and there is a great variety from IPAs to stouts and sours. I love how it was a little James Bond themed as well. The food was great. M girlfriend and I go around New England breweries trying brews and food, be on the look out for our blog! But the poutine here was great. The curds were a little spicy and wish there was a not jalapeño option, but regardless they were great. The smoked Gouda pulled pork pretzel bites were killer. So much so could probably be a Bond villain in their own right. read more

Best damn Czech Pils I've ever had. Maybe including when I was in the Czech Republic. Need to go back and discuss with the brewer, way better than the one I make! read more

This place is great! There's a variety of solid tasting beers, Quest and Bomb pop are particularly great, the food is unbelievable :)

Ok place............ Decent beers......... Service was a little slow........... But ok overall.......

I've been here several times. I agree the service is slow. More waitstaff is needed. Certain times the music is too loud you can't have a conversation with the people you come to visit with. Consistency would be nice. I was told one minute my child and his friend could use the game room and then later told he couldn't because there might be people drinking beer in there. I appreciate the gluten free options for food but some gluten free beer and even less IPA's would be nice. read more

The food is good, but not great. The beer is good- try the Quest on tap. The noise level is outrageously loud, we couldn't really hear each other talking. I would go back, but probably mid week. It was very crowded with a ton of people standing around waiting for a table. read more

The beer here is great. But the best thing about this brewery is definitely the food. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich and any of the pizzas. It can get a little busy on the weekend around lunchtime but at least you can grab a beer while you wait and typically the wait is not too long. Also a great appetizer are the pretzel bites cannot get enough of them. read more
