2 Best Bars in The Monadnocks and Merrimack Valley, New Hampshire

It's worth the drive 15 miles west of Concord if you're a fan of craft beer to sample the hoppy IPAs, refreshing Kolsch-style ales, and refreshing sour red ales at this laid-back tap room in the woods of Henniker. Grab a seat on the patio in nice weather.

Serving boldly flavored saisons, grisettes, and other fine, mostly old-world-style ales and lagers as well as soft pretzels with hummus, chili, and other tasty edibles, this terrific brewery in downtown Peterborough has a beautiful setting inside the stately 1837 G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) meeting hall.
