It’s November, and while it may seem like Christmas and the holidays are right around the corner, we still have plenty of autumn time left before it turns really cold. The cavalcade of “Octoberfest” beers designed to celebrate the season have been rolling along. Just about every major brewer, and micro comes up with [...]

I love unfiltered beers.
When met with multiple beer choices, I will almost always choose a nice unfiltered, wheat beer over anything else, so I was psyched to try Samuel Adams Dunkelweizen. The Dunkelweizen is part of the Harvest Collection 12-pack that’s in stores right now.

I’ve never had a dunkelweisen-style beer before and wasn’t sure what [...]

There are two great reasons to be a wine lover in the Nashua area this week.
If you’ve read The Telegraph at all this week, you may have noticed several ads boasting the sale of a bottle of wine for $1.40 at the Coliseum Avenue liquore store Monday.
No, it’s not a bottle of junk wine they’re [...]

Look. I know the general consensus among beer drinkers is that if it has fruit in it, it is strictly a “girl beer.” But if you stick your nose up at beers with berries because they are “beers for sissies,” you’re living a sad, unadventurous life, my friend.
Case in point: Last month, I went to [...]

This fall, NH.com is throwing the first ever Wicked Wine and Brew Fest at Mel’s Funway Park in Litchfield. It’s being held Saturday, Sept. 12, from 2-7 p.m. and will feature wineries and breweries from New Hampshire and around New England.

Summer beer is nothing new. At this point, no respectable craft brewer would roll into the warm months without a decent entry.
Enter Magic Hat’s Wacko. On the outside, it’s just another bottle covered with splashy graphics promising a crisp, smooth summer beverage.
The Wacko part comes into play when you pour it out. It’s got a [...]

Every years hordes of homebrewers take a long shot to become a sure shot by entering Samuel Adams home brew contest.
Long shot story made short: the competition starts out regionally and escalates through several rounds of tasting where winners are finally picked. The winners then go on to compete against top brews made by Samuel [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, the New Hampshire Liquor Commission is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
They kicked off the anniversary by offering gift cards for every $75 purchase and now, they’ve got a new promotion for Memorial Day.
Shoppers can get select wine and spirits for $19.34 in honor of the first year [...]

It’s the New Hampshire Liquor Commission’s 75th anniversary and it feels like celebrating.
To kick off the anniversary, the commission is offering a $10 gift certificate for every $75 purchase up to $750 (not sure who buys that much alcohol at once but they must have put the limit in for a reason).
The commission is also [...]

When I first tasted Samuel Adams Imperial Stout , I thought I had not lived. That was until I tried it with bleu cheese. Then I knew. Part of the brewery’s new Imperial Series, the stout is not for the meek.
Dark as a Himalayan night sky and just as dense, this beer is prodigious in [...]
