RECAP from July 23, 2011<\/p>\n

\"2011
\nWhat can $40 get you these days? If you attended the SNHBF, you got a lot! The ticket price included parking, festival program, bottled water, food and plenty of beer samples served in your souvenir tasting glass.<\/p>\n

\"2011<\/p>\n

The festival was held under a big tent beside White Birch Brewing, our very gracious hosts. We had a super smooth entrance, received our glass and went straight to the tasting. We found it really cool that they had tall bar type tables down the center of the tent to rest your beer and food on. They also provided bins filled with iced water for the taking. \u00a0At the back of the tent, Burrito Me and Firefly American Bistro & Bar were set up with loads of delicious yummies.<\/p>\n

Beer Props of the day:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wowed by<\/strong>, Squam Brewing’s Golden IPA. \u00a0In beer terms BIGGER is\u00a0certainly\u00a0not always better. www.squambrewing.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Had more than one taster of<\/strong>, Baxter Brewing Co’s Stowaway IPA. \u00a0Solid IPA in a can…”can”t get much better than that. \u00a0www.yourcans.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Romanced by<\/strong>, Spicy Bohemian, a pilsener “dry hopped” with roasted jalape\u00f1os made by Throwback Brewery. \u00a0HELLO! www.throwbackbrewery.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Other participants;<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nJaney’s Beef Jerky www.janescookin.com<\/a>
\nBurrito Me www.burritome.com<\/a>
\nFirefly American Bistro & Bar www.fireflynh.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"2011<\/p>\n

The afternoon was spent chatting with current friends in beer, and making some new ones. \u00a0John, from Squam Brewing, taught us about his one barrel brewery in Holderness, NH. His passion for brewing and love of the craft beer community, were balanced perfectly in the beers he creates. \u00a0 We also chatted with our new friends Annette and Nicole, owners of Throwback Brewery in North Hampton, NH. These ladies run a nano brewery using \u00a0fresh, local ingredients in their craft brews for their community to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"2011<\/p>\n

Other highlights of the day included sitting on the hill with a plate full of roasted pig accompanied by a refreshing local brew, and walking around taking pics with our very own “bock stars”. \u00a0I suspect the beer geek buzz was heard loud and clear by surrounding townsfolk!<\/p>\n

\"2011<\/p>\n

Further praise wouldn’t do this fest justice. All I can say is get yourself to the event next year. And bring your appetite for great beer paired with killer food and fantastic company.<\/p>\n
