Stopped in for a beer right before closing. The brewery is on the smaller size, but we snagged seats at the a bar. The bartender was super friendly and gave us a few tastes before we decided on a full pour. I really enjoyed Hints and Allegations-a black IPA. My sister couldn't pass up Clay's Maple Pecan-a ice Brown Ale which would be a great accompaniment to breakfast. Wouldn't mind coming back to try out their food. And, maybe try out something on their brunch menu. read more

Stopped in for a couple of beers before a Tupelo show, great brews and really nice bartender...I remember that there was a food menu but I can't seem to find anything but brunch. Do you have a lunch/app menu ? read more

From The Barrel - Pale ale, IPA, Sour, Maple Stout - Breweries Near Me - Derry, New Hampshire

Solid brewery we found of the way home from skiing. Easy to get to off the highway. A little hard to tell what's on tap prior to your visit. You can try Twitter and Instagram. We tried Leftovers, Papa DIPA, Coffee Remedy, and Coconut Remedy. Good stuff for reasonable prices. $2 4 oz. tastes and $6-7 glasses. read more

Great little place, my wife and i love, we come Haverhill ma. and we try to make it there twice a month .. Beers are all good, food not bad, great place to meet people. See you soon Dennis & Linda read more

This family owned and operated nano brewery is just too adorable. Not only is the beer delicious but the decor, the presentation of the flights and the merchandise is on point too - good job to your designer who I hear is the mother!! I love that this business is keeping it in the family and bringing locally crafted beer to the area - they are making some seriously dangerous brews too - the habanero beer is by far my favorite and if you have a chance to get a Growler, do it!!! read more

I Tried the two available IPA's, I found the leftovers to be pleasant and refreshing, after wards I found out what space smells like and I'm not disappointed. The sours are terrific a great 10oz pour. The bartender was approachable and knowledgeable. I'll be back for some 4packs read more

From The Barrel - Out door seating and the smell of space - Breweries Near Me - Derry, New Hampshire

Do not want to pump it up too much since always want to make sure there is room for us. Solid beer, very friendly staff and good "pub" type fare food offerings. Have a pint on us! read more

Great little brewery. We've been back a few times to get the homemade potato chip nachos. Dog friendly with great staff and patrons. With a small bar and a few high top tables the cosy atmosphere makes for great shared conversations. read more

This place is amazing!! Great IPA's and even better service!! I rate it 5stars +!!! To Bad they don't can more! read more

Ok this review is for the BEER only as it is fantastic. They are a very small batch brewer and it is common for them to change their limited tap selection several times while you drink. One of the best places for IPAs in NH when they've got a good selection on tap. Very small tasting room and no food but super friendly staff and owner. Absolutely worth a visit read more

THE brewery for big juicy hop-forward beers in NH. After three years FTB has really hit its stride and dialed these beers into perfection. Fun tasting space with lots of regulars. Having gotten to know the brewer and family you can tell how much they care and love being a part of the NH beer scene and hyper-local brewery scene. read more

Love their beers!!! Great people Great environment. Family owned and ran Elle is outrageous. read more

This place had exactly what I was looking for on a Saturday afternoon! My hubs and I strolled in and were greeted by delicious ipas, staff and locals! I have an expectation of breweries to be friendly locals that are instant friends and that's what they delivered. Oh and ALL of the beer is good read more

The beer is always consistent and very good. I highly recommend you stop by and do a tasting. Once you find your favorite you can get a bottle or a growler. read more

They have the best beer around hands down. Love the small batches of beer. They pay great attention to detail and it shows in everything they do. The owner is always there and is great! Thanks for all you do FTB!! read more

Stopped in with low expectations. In my experience, the breweries along the 93 corridor in Southern NH are underwhelming at best. From The Barrel's twitter account stated they had cans of one of their beers, so I stopped in to pick some up. By the time I arrived the cans were gone, so I reluctantly bought a small growler of some oddly named beer that I think was called "Back On The Train". It was terrific. The following week I brought the growler back to get some more, but that beer was out. So I picked another at random, feeling trepidatious, and it too, was terrific. A few weeks later I again saw cans on the twitter feed, but by the time I arrived not only were cans gone but they were down to just one beer, again an oddly named beer different than the two I had tried. Rather amazingly, it was just as excellent as the first two. I believe one of these latter beers was called Alana Pale Ale, and the other might have been the Zed's Dead Pale Ale. The beer names have a ways to go to becoming catchy, but what I have tried has been fantastic. My only complaint is that due to state regulations (so they told me) they are not allowed to fill growlers branded with other breweries. read more

The beer is amazing! Very small family run brewery. The owners are very nice and fun to talk to. Their 4 oz tasters are only 1.00 a piece. I haven't tried a beer there I didn't like. read more

My Saturday took a turn for the better last week when my husband and I stopped into the From the Barrel brewery. This is a great family run business with a delicious selection of beer. We both opted for a 5 beer flight that came with a FTB glass. The brewers do a great job of explaining the flavor profile and also the background on the beer i.e. who they are named after and why. The atmosphere was inviting and filled with fellow beer lovers. We found out that FTB is one stop on a beer tour. There were 4-5 other breweries in the same vicinity that we decided to explore when we finished I highly recommend grabbing a few growlers enjoy them when your tour is over! read more

So to start with the positives, there was a decent amount of seating given how small the brewery is, the bartender was super friendly and the prices really great (about $20 for 3 flights and a glass). The downside is that the beer really isn't very good. I only liked one of the beers in my flight and I use the term "like" very loosely. read more

Always love coming here! They have a top notch atmosphere: from the design of the space to the delightful service and banter from the business owners. The beer is absolutely phenomenal. They are truly one of my favorite breweries in all of New England and I can't wait to see where they go from here! A couple favorites: Sweet Jane, MK, Zeds Dead read more

Love the beer here. It's a small place, but a nice cozy atmosphere with very friendly people. If you love good beer but have never been here, give it a try, you won't regret it. read more

Very small, quaint brewery. They ran out of almost all of the beers before we left. But the beers that we did try were delicious. I wouldn't go out of my way... But we were in the neighborhood and I'm glad that we stopped by. read more

Great crowd here and a nice selection of beers. I've been sent here before to pick up growlers of Elle that my hops-addicted husband and brother love, but I tried out a flight today and really like the REM. Staff is friendly. read more

Great place for delicious, unfiltered beers. Nice environment, with friendly staff. Definitely a must try! If you're interested in flights, this place is great. We were able to taste their IPAs and pale ales. read more

Great little brewery. All their beers are good but Lily and Elle IPAs are incredible. When you pour a Lily, the hop and malt aroma can be smelled 3' away. Elle, is just OMG good. When you take your first sip, OMG are the words that come out of your mouth. read more

I've been waiting for a place like this in the area for a long time. I wanted to find something similar to the "heady topper" brewery up in Vermont. So I searched online and decided to take the plunge with From the Barrel. Plain and simple this place knows what they are doing and I hate to say it....I actually like the taste better than Heady Topper which was ranked #1 beer in the world. It's relaxing environment with friendly staff and these beers really may be the best I've ever had. The signature Growler tastes awesome. My favorite is "Zed's Dead IPA" obviously paying homage to Pulp Fiction with the name. The prices are more than reasonable for the high quality that they are selling. I bought up cases of the Zed's Dead and some other smaller batches of the other names. I couldn't try them all, I had to drive home! Love this place. Looking forward to going back...I'm going to stock up heavy for BBQ season. A+++ read more
