I asked it for a chicken pot pie lunch and ChatGPT led us to this absolute gem. Unfortunately they were closed for a private event because I was a dork and didn't check the hours before we arrived. But... the most amazing employee, I think her name was Jennifer, saved the day. She let us order and she brought our lunch to us at the awesome chocolate coffee shop next door. The chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and peas absolutely hit the spot on a cool fall afternoon. We washed it down with a hot chocolate from the coffee shop. Incredible combination. Everything was perfect! The service, food and atmosphere. Thank you Fat Hen Brewing Company for being a part of our absolutely wonderful vacation to your part of the country!

Visited on 7/19/26 with my wife and dog. Drove up from Rhode Island after seeing the menu,…read moreavailable beers, and learning they were dog friendly. We arrived and sat at a picnic table with an umbrella so our pup could be in the shade. We were having a great time, so excited to be there and amped to try their current taps. Just as our apps were being brought out, a gust of wind lifted the umbrella clear out of the table, spilling my wife's drink and sending the heavy metal umbrella pole directly into my face and chest HARD. My wife, the server, and I were all stunned for a moment. Wife thought I was bleeding until we realized it was rust on my face and chest from the pole. Server asked if I was okay, clearly feeling a little awkward, and with my hand to my face I said "I think so? If I'm not bleeding, I guess?, still totally stunned and feeling some pain. Face throbbing, my wife asked for an ice pack, and the server brought us one. We totally understand that it was a freak accident, and that it wasn't our server's fault. But it got awkward from there as the crew working became avoidant. The girl that sat us saw me teary eyed from the pain, holding the ice pack to my face and asked if we were okay... but that was it. The atmosphere quickly became awkward, and considering the pain I was in combined with feeling totally weird from the staff, we asked for a box to take our uneaten food to go. Server brought our check and we were a little surprised to see that we were still charged for the drinks (one of which had spilled because of the umbrella) and the food. We paid cash, still left a nice tip, and left, wanting to get out of the sun and keep an eye on the swelling. We were really disappointed in how the situation was handled by the crew. We weren't looking for our apps to be comped, but it would have been nice for a manager to come by, apologize, offer to refill my wife's beer, and maybe move us to a different table since we were no longer in the shade. The team didn't go around and check the other tables to make sure the umbrellas were safe and secure, either, which was shocking considering what had just happened. We were really looking forward to hanging out, trying a little bit of everything off the menu, buying some cans or growlers to take home... but we left with a swollen, bruised face and chest and an uneaten $90 box of food that we ended up tossing because the mood was completely ruined. We rarely leave a negative review anywhere, but I guess this is just a PSA to check your picnic table umbrella if you sit outside, and hopefully a learning opportunity for management in how to improve customer service and safety for patrons.

Brother of Mine was the name of the IPA we both had. It has Citra and Topaz hops in the beer which made a very pleasant hop combination to the flavor profile. Flavors you should expect to find in this beer are maltiness, hoppiness, bitterness and citrus. It's also a very pleasantly dank beer. A very, very good starting beer with Deciduous Brewing Company for us!

Perfect combination while enjoying the views.

To paraphrase "To appropriately taste a good beer you need more than a few ounces. Otherwise, you have a variety of flavors intermingling and not experiencing the beer for what it is". So key is to be immersed in your beer of choice....and yes, you can sample any beer ahead of time so you get the one you want. Truer words were never spoken. We thoroughly enjoyed our beer choices (Oblivion nitro black lager, Long Shadow bourbon barrel aged baltic porter, Apropos a saison for or from the Gods and Quintessential a noble German pilsner).

The Smuttynose Tasting Bar beer garden on a warm, late summer day is just about as good as it gets…read more I'm known to travel long distances to visit breweries with working cats. While Smuttynose doesn't have a cat (that I'm aware of), we were pleasantly surprised to meet the resident good boy, a black lab named Willy! What a treat. He is so friendly and freely roams the bar and beer garden. Cute pup aside, I love their facility. The outdoor area hosts a variety of seating options, including my personal favorite: adirondack chairs. This place would be an ultimate summer hang if I lived closer! You don't even have to go inside to order a beer - just walk up to the order window. I tasted their fall offers: Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Ale. I thoroughly enjoyed both, even purchasing a variety pack to trek home with me that included both the Oktoberfest and Pumpkin Ale. Their flagshop brown ale is called Old Brown Dog, and when we visited, they had a stronger version on tap - Very Old Brown Dog. The Very Old Brown Dog is one of the better strong beers I've tasted in some time. Definitely a sipper, especially if you're driving - but boy, it was smooth and very tasty in spite of it's sub 10% abv. The tasting bar is no frills at it's core, but clean bathrooms, fun merch, and good beer are flowing. There are some snacky foods available for purchase, but their restauarant is just across the parking lot if you're seeking a substantial meal. Lots of parking, great outdoor gathering space, smaller indoor seating area - would be great for summer hangs. Lots of tasty beer and a good doggy await. Smuttynose is one of my favorite breweries I've visited in recent memory.

Then we popped over to the restaurant and grabbed a table for some food. We only ordered chicken tenders, which came out quickly and were sweet and crispy. Our server was nice, they were a little disorganized and I think we would sit in the " bar service" area next time and just buy stuff ourself and bring it outside. Overall, good time, nice place and they had beers that were not IPAs so those are all good in my book.
