My first time walking into BBB was the same week I moved to New Hampshire…read more.. "Do you have any other glassware? I just moved here from Cali and only own two coffee mugs at the moment." "Two mugs?! Sh*t! Call the Red Cross! You can have this one for free!" Since then, Bert's was my own craft beer oasis in the granite state and I was a loyal customer, often visiting twice a month and sometimes even twice a week (don't let my low check-in count fool you). Staff here were top notch. Though familiar with the most popular brews from the North East, my knowledge of the New Hampshire craft beer scene was paltry at best due to the low demand for such beers in trading forums. Staff at Bert's always demonstrated an eagerness to help me out and knowledge of local breweries, even inquiring about my preferred styles and flavor profiles and then compiling a list of beers they thought I would enjoy! And they weren't beer snobs either. Just good folks who enjoy drinking. Anyway, the selection at Bert's is pretty solid and there is a nice mix of local brews, east coast beers, a few west coast beers, local mead, and local hard cider. I recommend checking out the following: -Southern Tier: They are from NY. The seasonal stuff is pretty good. Right now they should have a pumpkin beer available called "Pumpking" and that is hands down my favorite pumpkin beer. Buy a couple bottles. Drink one now and save one for later when Southern Tier comes out with "Creme Brûlée." Mix those two and you will get what tastes like vanilla pumpkin pie. -Brooklyn Brewery: Their regular stuff is unimpressive but some of the seasonals and large bottles are worth trying. -Maine Brewing Co: Beer from here is much easier to find these days but the beer is quality stuff. Never had a bad beer from them. If you're lucky, Bert will have "Lunch" in stock. -Funky Bow: Also from Maine. Beers are good. IPA lovers will enjoy "G-String" while coffee enthusiasts will be wise to check out "Midnight Special." -Pipeworks: A local brewery. I'm a fan of their IPAs. Bert has fresh crowlers in the cooler and they are all rather affordable. -Moonlight Meadery: Local honey wine. A must try for any mead fan. -Local hard cider in the cooler closest to the front of the store. Very impressive. NH grows some of the best apples I've had and that translates into pretty darn good cider. ___Tips___ -Follow them on twitter! They often announce arrivals on twitter and the most popular bottles will sell out in a matter of hours. I've rushed to Bert's after work on a few occasions just to get a bottle of Canadian Breakfast Stout. So good! -They will also announce tastings. Beer tastings occur on Tuesdays and Fridays. -Bert also ages beers for a few years and puts them on sale from time to time. They will usually be located on a table in the back. I just wanted to say thank you for supplying me with beer during my time in New England. And sorry for bouncing. In typical John B. fashion, I moved somewhere without telling a soul. I doubt I'll ever be back in Manchester. But if I am ever in the area, Bert's will always be a stop for me.

We came at lunchtime so asked for the lunch menu, but reading through the reviews, it seems like we should've gone with the dinner menu if we wanted sashimi. The food was as generally good, but we didn't care for the chicken fried rice. We expected fried rice with veggies and egg, but got rice that was doused in soy sauce and fried. Not the best, but we ate it because we didn't want to be charged. The sunrise roll was pretty good but the snapper on top wasn't the best cut of fish which meant there were some chewy bits and part of it tasted odd. The real stand out items were the tempura veggies, tempura chicken, beef teriyaki, and salmon cucumber roll. The plum mule was the best cocktail we tried, but the cocktails were generally good.

But the salmon skin roll was tough instead of crispy and the spider roll was mushy. The shrimp tempura was bland and the sweet potato tempura was cut so thin that it was practically a chip. Given the price of their all-you-can-eat option, we would not recommend eating here.
