Suitably placed from major New England ski areas to make this place a superb apre ski location,…read moreSole Track is a wonderful microbrewery with superb beers and great and healthy food. The two female bartenders were just flawless. Fun, knowledgeable, and efficient. Their brews are superb, especially the Social Outcast NEIPA - one of the best ever tasted. Our bar tender said that it is also their most popular. The Sole Searcher IPA was also superb, and so was the Little Miss Sunshine. I also tried their Dump Run, a Maple Brown Ale and their Cosmic Drift. Food wise, Sole Track rocks. Their menu even has Puerto Rican specialties with plátanos and the Arroz con Habichuelas, a bean and vegetable stew. Nowhere else in the North Country have I seen that. As well, Trinidadian curry garbanzos and cucumber are on the menu. For the meat eater, Carnitas tacos and Barbecue Pork sandwiches are also available. The ambiance was diverse, with cars of every US state and several Canadian provinces dotting the parking lot. cheerfulness and a festive air prevailed. Excellent quality, superb ambiance.

We happened to come across this place while driving around the area and, since we always enjoy…read morefinding a new brewery, decided to stop in and check it out. I'm glad we did. 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.

I went in on a Sunday afternoon and the place was not busy at all. I bellied up to the bar and was thrilled to see the local selection of draft beer. The bartender was more than friendly and we talked about all of the different beers they had on the menu. He offered samples of anything I wanted and so I opted for a flight. The beer was great, the atmosphere was amazing and the bartender fantastic. I had the "BReuben" for lunch and it was incredible! A bratwurst wrapped in pizza dough with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. SO GOOD! Fast forward to a week later. I brought the grandson there and we shared te Witches Warts (cheese curds) and they were awesome. The staff, as before, was more than friendly! I cannot recommend this place enough. Going back tonight!

Parking seemed plentiful as well. The beer was solid, as I had remembered. We were short on time and my liver was short on remaining capacity, but it was great to be back and see the growth. The venue has such a great small, friendly feel to it, the staff were very friendly both visits, and this time they had live music as well. Stop by and try a pint - they have several styles to choose from, including a great NEIPA and bottle saison that I took to go.

The first beer was $6 and I left a $1 tip, the second beer he recommended - the most expensive beer they had, I think $8 or $9(whatever, it was really good) and I left another $1 tip. The charge I had a few days later was $14 for the second beer. It wasn't a mistake, the bartended deliberately overcharged. I wonder how many people don't check their credit card charges just to have this place skimming money from their tabs?

They were out of my favorite Kölsch; the replacement Wild River (a wheat beer) was good. I went with friends and we had 3 flights. We also ordered some pizza, which was good.
