Elm City Brew Pub

   Over the weekend I was in New Hampshire with my wife. We decided we wanted a nice sit down dinner and my wife, who is more familiar with the area suggested the Elm City brewery because hey I'm a beer guy and it's another brewery I need to try! Inside an old mill with little shops and a huge book store, you find Elm City Brewery. Walking in the main entrance you find huge white bags of different Malts piled up. It was only 20 minute wait, and well worth it.

   When I go to any brew pub, even if I have been there before, I always get the sampler. Why not try a little bit of everything? I liked how at Elm city you are able to pick which you want to try, which some have specific beers that come in the sampler.

 Maibock- Slightly sweet,malty,  medium body, smooth, crisp, not very hoppy,drinkable.

Brown ale- Nutty, chocolate notes, caramel notes, slight bitter, creamy, rich.

ESB- Crisp, slightly bitter, light body, crisp. Balanced.

Porter- Coffee and chocolate notes, smooth, slight sweetness, rich and smokey, hop bitterness

Keene Kolsch- Crisp, light, very subtle hop notes, hint of fruit, very drinkable

 I ordered the Brewmasters Dinner to eat. This is what I am talking about for Beer and Food! The brewmasters dinner consists of Grilled Knockwurst and Bratwurst, 2 Potato pancakes, saurkraut, apple sauce, mustard and horseradish to dip! Excellent beer dinner! I had a pint of the Keen Kolsch with dinner. Milder flavored German style beer went great with a mild German dinner! Our service was great, I bought a pint glass to take home with me (I collect them), and all in all it was a great night out! I will be back hopefully soon!
