For those of you who enjoy beer, there are a few nice events coming up in the next month. First, on October 3 Redhook Brewery, WHEB and Prescott Park are hosting NH Brew Fest 2009. There will 30 brewers, 90 brews, and 2 tasting sessions. I’ve already bought my tickets online and hope to see you there.
On October 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shapleigh Hops Craft Brewing Supply is hosting an open house and brewing demonstration. There will be demos for beer, wine, cider, and mead. Shapleigh Hops can be found at 37 Grant Road in Shapleigh, Maine. They can be reached at 207-432-3677.
And finally, there’s a new brewery in Hooksett, NH, White Birch Brewing. I haven’t tried the beer yet, but hopefully I’ll make it to one of the tastings being held in Hooksett on October 14 and New Durham on October 21. White Birch also posts regular updates on his progress over at Twitter.
Enjoy your beer!

The Wire’s excellent feature article this week is about our two uber-local wineries, Flag Hill and Jewell Towne. While you can buy both companies’ products at the NH State Liquor stores, a lot of grocery stores, and even the farmers’ markets in the case of Jewell Towne, what you can’t do there is see just how beautiful a farm of vineyards is, and taste the wines to choose your favorites. Flag Hill Winery also offers local foods based cooking classes and dinners, as well as vodka and liquors made from local ingredients. The article mentions a soon to be released Apple Brandy as well - which for me means I’ll be making totally local sangria to savor during the September Eat Local Challenge.
