    What a delightful place to relax after a busy and active day!! Down a set of stairs to a quaint lower level reminiscent of a family bar room. Everyone was in their best mood, perhaps a dozen people inside and one absolutely awesome labradoodle. The home brew selections are magnificent. The P. Bay IPA and the Bristol Blonde were exquisite. Truly so. The icing on the cake was when the proprietor brought us a hot, right off the oven, soft pretzel plate. Which went so well with the brews! The place has a Juliet window overlooking the river where the sound of the river lent a beautiful addition to the faire. Great beers, wonderful staff, amazing ambience and friendly people. What else can one ask for? We will be back.

    I stopped by here a couple of Friday nights ago with my wife for some afternoon drinks. We arrived to Shackets Brewing at 4 PM just as it was opening for the day and so we were initially the only people there. The inside of Shackets consists of a couple of bars and then some tables. They have some brewing equipment in plain view and, an oven that you can see as well and finally a white board food menu. While we were there the owner was prepping a few trays of their thick cut bacon which smelled and looked pretty amazing but I resisted in getting some. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. At Shackett's Brewing that consisted of four beers of my choosing and so I went with the Newfound Nutbrown, Pasquaney Bay IPA, Everlees Irish Red and West Shore Stout. The first beer that I tried was the Newfound Nutbrown which had a nice and smooth mouthfeel with a caramelly flavored finish. Second was the Pasquaney Bay IPA which was a smooth IPA at the start that ends up finishing with a nice flavor and then a ton of hops at the finish. Up third was the West Shore Stout which had the good flavor of a nice stout and then a good finish from the smokiness of the roasted malts. Last but not least was the Everlees Irish Red which started off smooth before some sweetness at the finish. To be honest, I would have preferred it without that sweetness. Out of the bunch I would have to pick the Stout as my favorite closely followed by the IPA. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed all of the beers that I tried here and would be interested in trying their food as well!

    LOVED this brewery. Great location. Its a fun spot, the table by the water is awesome, and shuffle board was fun. Most important- the beer was GREAT. IPAs were not bitter at all, stout was just like its supposed to be. Really good selection, we're really glad we stopped here.

    This place is everything I love in a brewery. Private parking, graffiti, brewery sticker display,…read morecool merch, decent music, arcade games and food! 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.

Steve and I had the Triple Agent which is a Triple New England IPA. This beer was enjoyable. Flavor highlights in this one are juicy, citrus and tropical. The beer has a creamy body and gives a soft feel upon your mouth when taking a sip. While this IPA was good it didn't necessarily a beer that got etched into my mind as time passed I still had no complaints with it.

Sometimes the unplanned stops end up being the most enjoyable part of a day. The outdoor area was a big part of what made the visit enjoyable. There's a really nice outdoor bar with picnic tables, lawn chairs and games, so you can grab a beer and actually settle in for a while. When we were there, they had a band playing live music and the whole atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming. It was one of those afternoons where people were clearly there to hang out, have a few drinks, listen to some music and enjoy themselves. They had a decent selection of beers, and what we tried was pretty good. Nothing I had was quite at the level where I was immediately thinking about buying a four-pack to take home, but everything was enjoyable and well worth trying. For me, the atmosphere was almost as important as the beer itself, and this place definitely delivered on that side. The staff were also very welcoming. Our bartender outside was particularly friendly and talkative, and it made the whole experience feel much more personal. I always appreciate that at a brewery. You don't necessarily need a lengthy conversation every time you order a beer, but having someone behind the bar who genuinely seems happy to talk with customers makes a difference. They also serve food, although we didn't order anything during our visit, so I can't really give an opinion on it. We did hear good things from other people there, though, and there seemed to be plenty of folks enjoying the food along with their drinks. We really enjoyed stumbling across this place and would definitely come back, especially with some friends. I could easily see spending a summer afternoon here with a few beers, some food, live music and a group of people. It has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stick around rather than just have one drink and leave. A very good accidental find, and one we'll be happy to revisit.

The beer selection has always been amazing from the classics to the seasonal beers and everything in between. The beer flights are also so great for trying new options or to find what you like! The food selection has also developed so much since we have began going here. The pizzas are so delicious and so is the cheesy bread and they even have the new Tucks Truck that has so many new options too. One of the things besides beer and food that Tuckerman's is so good at is hosting events, there is always something fun going on. This is one of the best places, enjoying the lawn and music during the summer after a day on the lake and sitting in the brewery enjoying a beer after skiing! The staff and environment are also amazing and so friendly. They have great merch too I think all together my family owns one of everything in the store. We get something new each time we visit. The brewery is so beautiful as well and they have added on a lot in the last few years. The interior design and ambiance of the inside and outside is so well done and enjoyable. It is always very clean too. Thank you Tuckerman's for all the wonderful memories! We love you guys!

    We were spending a long weekend in the area and, as we tend to do whenever we travel, started…read morelooking for places to sample local drinks. We normally go brewery hopping, but if the town we're staying in has a winery, we make a point of stopping there too. So we ended up here for one very specific reason: we wanted to sit down, relax and try a couple of wine flights. We didn't do the tour and we didn't order food, so those aren't things I can personally comment on, but the wine experience alone was excellent. I did the white wine flight and my wife went with the red, and we were both genuinely impressed. Neither of us likes wine that is overly sweet or syrupy, and these were exactly what we were looking for. The wines had much more depth and character than I expected, with robust flavors that made the flights fun to work through rather than simply tasting like different versions of the same thing. My favorite was the House White Reserve. I could have happily sat there with a glass of that for the rest of the afternoon. The service was probably the biggest surprise. Our server took the time to explain the wines and answer our questions without making the experience feel overly formal or pretentious. That's important with a tasting. I want someone who knows what they're talking about, but I don't want to feel like I'm taking an exam before I'm allowed to enjoy my glass. We were made to feel completely comfortable, and even though we ended up staying later than we originally intended, nobody rushed us out the door. We sat outside on the front patio, which made the whole afternoon even better. There was live entertainment while we were there, with a gentleman playing guitar and singing, and it created exactly the sort of relaxed atmosphere you hope to find when you're away for a long weekend. Good wine, comfortable outdoor seating, live music and nowhere we particularly needed to be. That's a pretty good combination. Our only real regret is that we didn't order food. We've heard a lot of good things about the eatery, and after seeing what was coming out of the kitchen while we were there, I definitely wish we'd planned for a meal. We were focused on the wine flights that day, but next time we're coming back with our appetites as well. I really enjoyed this stop. The wine was excellent, the service was outstanding, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the whole experience felt like exactly what a winery visit should be. If you're in the area and enjoy wine, I'd definitely recommend stopping in and trying a flight. We'll be back, and next time we're staying for dinner too.

Full disclosure, I'm the farthest thing from a wine expert, so if…read moreyou're looking for a nuanced take on the vintages of Hermit I'm afraid this is not the review for you. But as a casual wine drinker, I really liked this place. We didn't order any of the food, but I did try a flight of their reds, all made not with grapes but a variety of local berries. I didn't get to sample any of their meads, but it's cool that they have them on the menu. We drank our wine outside on the lovely front patio, but they also have indoor seating both on the first floor as well as on the second floor where there was a musician performing. Good atmosphere, nice people working there, definitely worth a visit when you're in town.
