We love going up to New Hampshire, the lakes, the mountains, and the people we meet along the way in our beer travels. We went just over the border to Newington NH to meet with our friends Stoneface Brewing. Dan and Pete sat down with us and discussed how Stoneface came to be in a time when there weren't a lot of breweries opening up in NH and how they expanded to become on of the largest producers of beer in the state.

In the heart of Haverhill, Massachusetts, right on the banks of the mighty Merrimack River resides a brew pub, called the Tap Brewing Co. “The Tap”, has been around since the late 19th Century originally as a restaurant and bar, but is now a beloved brew pub. The Tap has had a pretty impressive lineage of brewers pass through their door like Jon Curtis and Tod Mott. Keeping the tradition of excellence and consistency in the beer is important to current head brewer, Jason Barnum. We talked to Jason this week who started as a patron at the Brewery and ultimately worked his way up to being the Head Brewer. Conveniently for us, Jason’s unique position in being a frequenter of the Tap, before working there and being a history buff left us with a great episode that we’re excited to share.To find out The Tap’s hours of operation and their current tap list is check out their website http://www.tapbrewingcompany.comCheers!Claw Hammer Supply- Claw Hammer Supply has taken brew in a bag (BIAB) to a whole n
