Hoptimystic Brewing has opened a new location at 71 Main Street in Sunapee NH, on the site of the…read moreformer Anchorage Restaurant. We stopped there after reading their advertisements and we weren't disappointed. Best location for a brewpub ever. Ever. The brewpub occupies the rear of the gargantuan footprint of the old Anchorage. The best part actually, as it has the outside boardwalks with tables and the beautiful scenic view of Lake Sunapee. It was well attended by the boat crowd and boats were tying up as close as they could. Superb ambiance although limited food offerings. Still, Hoptimystic is tops on the beer scene.

The Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, Vermont is famous for its brews, but I really like their menu…read more Simply put, it is comfort food and it is good. Most of the menu items here are not like a gourmet Vermont experience. Instead, they are simply, darn flippin' good! Menu items here are simple and breezy. Get the baked potato with pulled pork, cheddar, bacon, chives and sour cream. If I made the same dish, as easy as it seems, it would definitely not turn out as delicious. With this glorious baked potato, there was a white, shredded cheese. I am not used to this at all because usually you usually get orange cheddar cheese on a potato, but this is Vermont. People new to the region - like me - notice simple touches like white cheddar cheese and it's little things like that that really make a difference in having an authentic New England experience. And now onto the Hebrew National Franks: they are on New England rolls. I didn't know what those were until I ordered them, but this makes a total difference. They are soft and heated and have a shiny, buttery finish. On their winter menu, I have also tried the Space Cake beer fried chicken sandwich. I thought it might be a sweet, fried, hot honey kind of chicken sammie, but I don't think that option is on their menu yet. The fried chicken coating was good. This Space Cake sandwich came with sweet potato waffle fries. Oh my goodness! Definitely get these. Get them as an appetizer. Take them home with you. Whatever. You need them. They're delicious. This was all on their winter menu. On their summer menu, I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich with steakhouse fries. Thoroughly fabulous. We also enjoyed the butternut squash salad with fresh cranberries from their summer menu. The lettuce was so darn fresh. It really makes a difference in the flavors and the whole experience here. Now onto the beers: there are so many draughts to choose from! Aside from a suite of brewed-on-site Harpoon beers, you can also get at least 3 UFO hefeweizen brews and 3 Clown Shoes beers. The UFO wheat beers are a favorite here: I had White (orange and coriander), Maine Blueberry and Strawberry Lemonade Shandy The Clown Shoes beers seem popular here, but were too intense for me. The Vodka Whips - inspired by the beloved Maryland Orange Crush drinks - are good. I thought was ordering a Cardi B Whip Shot, so when I got it, I realized these two drinks are not the same. Vodka Whips vs. Whip Shots: who knew. Camp Wannamango by Harpoon is a not-to-miss. I also liked the Maple Bourbon Barrel-aged Mountain Ale. Not a fan of any of the IPA's anywhere, including here, unless they are doubles. The Harpoon Cider is tasty. The Dunkin' beers are fabulous branding and interesting. Some I like ... while others are - again - just not watered-down enough for me. I hope someone is laughing at what a lightweight I am when it comes to sturdy beers.

I wish my dna allowed me to try the beers (I hear they're awesome) but happy with the seltzers (gluten-free). Great bands too, but I hope they add an overhead door to the indoor stage area l (mostly metal). Acoustically, it's deafening in some parts and washed out in others. Opening it up the outdoors would be greatly appreciated by all, especially the crowds of kids that run into everyone else who's trying to enjoy the amazing beverages and bands.

We…read moreexplained we were mug club members at a brewery near us, and asked how theirs worked - even though we aren't actually going to join because we live so far away, she happy talked through their procedure and their benefits. Their beer was the best part though. Wow was it tasty! The variety among what they sold was not short, there was atleast 10 Different varieties and they had even more in cans and bottles to purchase. I liked the interior a lot, it was industrial, but modern. It mixed wood with the steel and it looked more welcoming than just a standard industrial brewery that you may see today.

The IPA's weren't all particularly remarkable, but the "VT IPA" was pretty solid NE IPA. Lowlights - We were greeted somewhat rudely by an older gentleman when arriving. Our server, was much more pleasant/bubbly/fun, but the service overall also seemed a bit disjointed. I'd pass on the fried pickles next time as well, they were incredibly salty.

The only sit-down, full service eatery and pub at Mount Sunapee Resort, Goosefeathers is located…read moreatop the Spruce Lodge at the resort. It provides a great respite from the maddening pace of the three cafeterias at the resort, which can become stuffed with people and getting a seat is like winning Power Ball. After the Pandemic, Mount Sunapee instituted a Maître d' concept instead of a sit-yourself service. That has worked quite well and avoids rude people hijacking tables the entire day for a few people as it occurs in the rest of the resort. Service is quick and the food is more varied and way better than the cafeterias. As well, the enormous bar lends a fun ambiance to the place with lively conversations throughout the day. Goosefeathers also has a gigantic outdoor area with full view of the slopes. Only drawback to the place is the schedule. It closes too early, usually at the end of the ski day. No genuine Après Ski to be had. If you want to do that, the Shanty is right outside the access road in Newbury.

Service is superb, the ambiance is always happy, always cheerful, always pleasant. Their beer selections are superb including their signature Rags to Riches brewed by Flying Goose in New London. One of the best ski pubs.

So much potential. Unfortunately for some brewers, Vermont is awash with premium offerings for…read moreevery taste. With the bar set that high, few thrive. Beer Makers' products are mediocre at best. Seven dollar pints demand better. The setting is stark. Confusing theme of historic industrial and very amatuer, abstract, wall art. No table service. No wine offering for the ladies. Other than tiny bags of chips no food offering. Clientele is light to non existent. On my first visit, witnessed a single mother wet nursing at the bar. Guess that's a Vermont thing? On the upside, the barkeep is gregarious and likable. Noted postings for attractions, which may draw a crowd. Beer Makers is an ideal candidate for Bar Makeover. I hope they up their act. The potential is there.
