| Sea Dog Blue Paw |
All of their beers are on tap. I have always been a fan of their blueberry beer, Sea Dog Blue Paw, so I was quick to put in my order. It has a strong blueberry flavor. Apps include bang bang shrimp, brewhaus pretzel, fried pickles and hummus and country olives. There are also a number of soups including clam chowder and lobster bisque. I wanted something to fill me up after a busy day at Story Land, so I ordered their open-faced roast turkey dinner. It's made up of turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce. Very good. Other entrees include Cajun chicken pasta, steak tip poutine, a number of burgers, sandwiches and salads, along with lobster. There's also a kids menu with plenty of traditional options for the little ones.
Sea Dog offers a ton of merch for sale including stickers, beer glasses and clothing. They also have a Mug Club where locals have their own beer mug at the bar, along with a bunch of other perks.

SMUTTYNOSE BREWING COMPANY AND RESTAURANT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Sunday, July 14, 2019
 |
| Smuttynose is located in Hampton, NH. |
 |
| Raspberry Lime Rickey sour beer |
 |
| Blue Cheese Smash burger |
Hampton, New Hampshire
www.smuttynose.com
Smuttynose Brewery has been cranking out craft beer since 1994. You can sample all of it and bring some home at their campus in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Visitors can tour the brewery for free. There's also beer tasting inside of the brewery where you can try all of the classic and latest Smuttynose brews. Stop by their gift shop for Smuttynose beers and swag to bring home. Have some fun playing their pinball machines or go for a game of cornhole (in season).
Don't leave without enjoying a meal at their restaurant. Pull up a chair and listen to live music at their outdoor patio or dine indoors near their bar, which, of course, pours nothing but Smuttynose. Right now, they are brewing a Raspberry Lime Rickey sour beer which is so refreshing.
The food is fantastic. There are salads, burgers and pastas. I loved their Blue Cheese Smash burger, which consists of two patties. The cheese, bacon and onions are all smashed together into the burgers. Appetizers include fried pickles, onion rings, nachos, and a pub pretzel. Want a free meal? Bring your appetite and try "Da S'muttonator." It comes with 4 burgers, 8 slices of bacon, 4 slices of cheese, 4 ounces of pulled pork, onion rings, a fried egg and a pound of french fries. Eat it all in 30 minutes and it's free, plus you'll get a T-shirt and your picture on their wall of fame.

(Closed) BEER BREWED IN HOUSE AT JOHN HARVARD'S RESTAURANT & BREWERY
Tuesday, February 09, 2016
 |
| Eat Up New England visited John Harvard's Restaurant & Brewery in Framingham for the first time over the week. There are several other locations including one in Harvard Square, Providence and a couple of restaurants in New York. This location has tons of seating. They needed it on this busy Saturday night when they were packed with families and people celebrating birthdays. |
 |
| As soon as you walk in, you'll notice their brewery and a list of all of the beers on tap. They have everything from pale ales to an espresso stout. They also brew up seasonal favorites like Oktoberfest lager. |
 |
| Check out those nachos! This is a half place which is perfect for two. Other apps include fried pickles, calamari, kettle chips, wings, chicken tenders and hummus. |
 |
| Eat Up NE ate healthy, opting for one of John Harvard's salads. This is the Aztec salad with avocado, tomatoes, corn and tortilla strips. I topped it off with some grilled chicken. Tasty and healthy! Other entrees include a variety of pizzas, sandwiches like their "ridiculously good grilled cheese," and a bunch of burgers. They also have Ranch steak strips, chicken parm, backed stuffed cod and a vegetarian stir fry. |
 |
| We enjoyed this warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream for dessert. |
UPDATE: the restaurant has closed permanently.

CRAFT BEER AND BAR FOOD AT ROCK BOTTOM BOSTON
Wednesday, February 03, 2016
Their menu is full of all of the traditional bar foods, making it the perfect place for a snack after a show. We enjoyed the "Brewery Nachos," which are made vegetarian and served with habanero tomato salsa. The menu is packed with burgers, salads, steaks, pizzas, tacos, sandwiches and entrees like mac 'n chicken and sizzling stuffed peppers. One thing that caught my eye are their mason jar desserts. Treats like key lime pie, pecan pie and raspberry & chocolate mousse are served in mason jars.

SAMPLING THE BEER AT CAPE COD BEER
Saturday, July 19, 2014
 |
| Free tasting glass |
There are several beers on tap to satisfy the novice beer drinker to the picky beer geek. If you're a fan of dark brews like Guinness, you'll want to try their Cape Cod Porter. They also have a Beach Blonde Ale, a Red Amber Ale, IPA and a Summer seasonal beer. You can sample all of them and more in their store. A tasting is only $5. You'll get 5 chips, which you can use for five glasses of beer. You even get to take home the tasting glass for a souvenir.
Their store is full of CCB merch, including glassware, shirts, hats, books and local foods (like beer peanut brittle). Of course, you can buy different-sized bottles of their beers and some brews even come in cans.
CCB offers guided tours of their brewery each day at 11am. If you're not there on time, you can still take a self-guided tour.

MOHEGAN CAFE: BREWING BEER ON BLOCK ISLAND
Thursday, June 05, 2014
The Mohegan Cafe is open for lunch and dinner. Their menu is full of comfort food, along with salads and plenty of seafood. I ate their clam strips plate for lunch. It was served with a pile of fries and tartar sauce. Customers also rave about their clam chowder.
You'll have no problem finding The Mohegan Cafe. It's right in the center of town, just across the street when you get off the ferry. Having one of their cold beers is the way to go after the ferry ride.

CHIPOTLE BEER AND CHEDDAR ALE SOUP AT WHETSTONE STATION IN VERMONT
Sunday, April 28, 2013
 |
| Beer sampler: Chipotle is on the right |
 | |
| Cheddar Ale Soup |
The cheddar ale soup looked really good the last time I visited, so I tried it this time. Very rich and just enough Switchback Ale without overpowering the smooth Grafton Cheddar. For lunch, I ordered off the specials menu and tried the delicious maple bacon pizza. Whetstone Station & Brewery really does serve unique comfort food at a great price. It's quickly become an Eat Up New England Favorite and should be one of your favorites, too.

THE ALCHEMIST CANNERY: HOME OF HEADY-TOPPER BEER
Monday, March 18, 2013
Heady Topper is the buzz of beer nuts across New England and beyond. It's brewed proudly at The Alchemist Cannery in Waterbury, Vermont. At first, the American Double IPA was available only at their brewery, but now it's served up at restaurants and for sale at markets all over the green mountain state.
A visit to The Alchemist Cannery is well worth the trip. You can get an up close and personal look at where Heady Topper is brewed, sample the beer and stock up. If you're a casual beer drinker, try Heady Topper, but proceed with caution. It's great stuff, but strong stuff!
Update: The Cannery CLOSED to the public on November 15, 2013!! Check out
www.alchemistbeer.com for more on where you can find Heady Topper.

RUN TO WHETSTONE STATION IN BRATTLEBORO, VT! (Now closed)
Wednesday, March 06, 2013
You don't get more Vermont than this place. Whetstone is right on the waterfront with beautiful outdoor views no matter where you sit. There's also a roaring fireplace in the middle of the restaurant, which is perfect during the chilly winter months.
The food at Whetstone just couldn't be any better. I had a grilled cheese & bacon with fries for lunch. This was no ordinary grilled cheese. It was stuffed full of bacon, Vermont cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Cream cheese! So good. Somehow, I still had room for dessert, so I ordered the "46 Carat," that delicious slice of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting pictured below.
There's something for everyone on their menu. Hearty burgers, mac & cheese, scallops, salmon and plenty of vegetarian options. They also serve up a cheddar ale soup with Vermont Grafton cheddar cheese and Switchback Ale, which I'm dying to try next time.
Ahh, ale. That brings us to their drink menu. There are cocktails and wine, but it's their beer that's putting Whetstone Station on the map. They offer an extensive menu of local craft beers. From Narragansett to their exclusive Whetstone Cider Works, there are a variety of craft beers on tap and in bottles. They even have several types of gluten free beers. This spring, Whetstone is promising something extra special. They are launching their own in house nano-brewery.
If you're ever anywhere new Brattleboro, Vermont, do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner at Whetstone Station. It's an Eat Up New England Favorite and will be one of your favorites, too!
