    Flight of 8
    Victoria S.

    Had a great stop at the Canterbury Aleworks this last weekend. It's a rustic place in the middle of the woods with great vibes and awesome beer. You have to try the flight of 8 to get all the flavors down and the best part is it's reasonably priced. The Lime beer was my favorite, but there were so many other great flavors without being overly heavy, making it easy to consume in all seasons. It looked like they had live music coming for the warmer months, so definitely keep your eye out! It's definitely a unique stop and can't wait to make the trip to stop again!

    Special experience! 4 of us came in on a slower Sunday and Steve the owner and brewer spent 2 hours talking to us about his brewery, vision, experiments, chemistry, old world brewing techniques, barrel aging and more. Wow! Out of the way and out of this world is right. We're coming back again!

    Cozy little British Pub style brewery. A little out of the way but nice. Warm fire, a dozen beers to chose from the day we went. Quite a find. I came up from MA with a group of beer lovers. We ate at the Holy Grail on the way home. Great road trip. Thanks, Steve. (I hadn't seen him since college. he looks the same)

    Picturesque scenery in the New Hampshire snow, we drove to a nearby smokehouse and then on the way back hit this place for a sample of some local beer. The hefeweizen was the best on tap so we took a growler to go - $12

    Happy people

    This place is so unique, so special, so different from anything I've ever experienced (at a brewery or ever) that I can't wait to take more people here! The beer being delicious and varietal is a mere perk of time spent there. The owner/sole operator/craftsman to every detail of the place, was so kind, passionate, and genuine. He even took my uncle out on his big, yellow, 1950's Mercedes military vehicle just cause I asked him if he could have a photo next to it as he is a huge Mercedes enthusiast. I can't wait to go back!

    Chilling with Steve!

    Wonderful experience! Wasn't sure what to expect down the long, narrow, windy dirt road. Then we met Steve and all was good. Great beers, great British atmosphere, great look! Thanks Steve.

    The bartender, the owner was incredibly friendly. We got samplers of all eight of their options, and it was really wonderful to try the mall and 4 ounce volumes. The environment was warm and welcoming, and everyone seemed really happy there! It was a really great experience and we hope to come back someday! We are travelers from Boston and we are very happy that we spent time at this brewery :-)

    Thanks Steve!

    This place is magical! Had the chance to come here with a large bachelor/bachelorette party, getting the whole brewery to ourselves. Steve was gracious enough to guide us all through a flight, going through each beer one by one with information about each. He really made the experience wonderful - you weren't just tasting beer, you were taking in the whole lovely place and the people behind it. And the place itself is fabulous - a little farm with the brewery in a deliciously smelling mill. This isn't your typical brewpub, it's all about the beer and atmosphere. Glad to have found such a gem.

    Bringing a little of the old word beer to back woods NH. Off the beaten path is an understatement but the beer was worth the trip.

Driving in I asked my husband I asked what Kettlehead is known for an he said: Beer. Yet somehow, I can't love Kettlehead. A few things occured that damaged the experience: 1. The waitress spilled a sampler all over my wristlet and cell phone. She was oblivious but she has been spilling it the whole walk to the table! She seamed put out i asked of they had bleach wipes as we were in from out of town and i didnt want mty cell phone smelling like beer all weekend. 2. The waitress stated the coin change machine is wonky and they don't own it. The coin machine worked fine but it was the first game we played, Tokyo Drift, that ate our money. I reported it and seamed like the guy didn't care. He didn't offer me a $1 to make up for it nor did he shut down the machine after my report. I feel like if you have it in your place, you should stand behind it. An issue, it should become yours. 3. The pretzels are terrible. They are like sliced and fried with no flavor. They looked like little hot dogs. We go to a ton of breweries and this is the worst pretzel experience we have ever had. Also, the waitress told us the mustard was the beer cheese and vice versa. My kid was not to happy when she ate mustard! But also, the worst beer cheese we have encountered as well. Her excuse, she has been up since 4am. Well, my husband wasn't wrong. He raved over their beer. Nobody was impressed with their food.

The bad : Service is terrible and nonexistent, you have to order at the bar and pick up your own food. Of course, they ask for a 25% tip anyway. They upsold a beer right before closing, and then told us we have clear off. With the full beer they just happily to sold us. Also, food prices are absolutely disgusting. See the photo with the menu - $13 for a pretzel. Just absolute cash grabbing nonsense. The good: the outdoor space is quite nice. Large lawn, lots of options between picnic tables and Adirondack chairs. Some little trails in a wooded area (for disc golf, but still little paths to walk). The beer is good, at least the farmhouse and Scottish ales.

    Love the place. Ample, huge barn style building with awesome beers, a huge Biergarten for summer…read moreevenings, and a truly welcoming vibe. And they also have live music every so often. We came here after attending the massive Gunstock Ski sale. We now have an après ski place coming back home from skiing at Gunstock. Really awesome ambiance and even better service. Just superb service with knowledgeable and friendly bar tenders who explained the brews and the intricate flavors. We tried both their IPAs, the Palmer's Towm IPA and their Lake Cruiser. Both superb. Then a Pumpkin ale that was awesome and a Sour that made us pucker (for the good). Then we thought about food.... Their flat bread pizza, pepperoni and hot honey, is the only thing that beats the Ragged Mountain flatbreads.... And then we had their Bavarian Pretzels which were a wonderful compliment... Overall a superb late afternoon.
