Description
As a family-owned brewery, Candia Road Brewing Company’s mission is to brew a wide range of styles for all to enjoy. To gather friends - old and new. To treat all patrons like family, and to create lasting memories each day.

In 2011, CRBC opened as a homebrew shop and two-barrel system brewery. As the first nano license in New Hampshire we were pioneers of the local nano-brew movement. Under the brand name Nepenthe Ales, CRBC produced 22 ounce, bottle conditioned beer with distribution in NH craft beer shops, major supermarkets, and several restaurants.

In 2018, with a larger brewing capacity, the switch to 16 ounce cans was made as the local craft beer scene evolved, and the site was renovated with a new taproom with draught beers, pub food, and original music performers every Sunday.

Can from the brewery two months old. Brilliantly clear deep golden color with a thin short lived bubbly white head. Bready pilsner toasty maltiness with a bit of fruitiness and a light astringency. Not bad.

Can from the source. Hazy pink tinged orange with a small head that dissipates almost instantly. Lots of lime on the nose, hints of fruity cranberry. Light pucker in the mouth. Could be more tart but pretty tasty.

Sample from the source on tap. Hazy bright yellow with a small bubbly white head. Earthy citrusy pine with bits of bready maltiness and a touch of grass. Pretty tasty beer.

Draft taster pour at Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival. Appearance is cloudy milky yellow, no discernible sparkle, little cap of white head. Aroma is strong citrus, milder grapefruit. Taste is citrus and grapefruit. Palate is light bodied, with thin, smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation and citric acid bite with some spiciness and finish as taste. Overall, some citrus, fruit and spice--that's what it is. Not complex but enjoyable.

Can from a Lazy dog, two months old. Pours a mostly clear light golden color with a decent sized frothy white head that persists. Bready light caramel mostly on the nose with some faint earthy citrus hops. Pretty heavy malt presence is a bit of a shock to my palette. Feels like the craft beer 90's in a can. Pretty tasty overall.

Can from a Lazy Dog Hazy lemon yellow with a white head that is thin and dissipates quickly. True to its name there is subtle banana on the nose. Lemony earthy and somewhat tart with some light funk is more of what this beer is about. Canned 4/24/18 either it isn't holding up too well or it wasn't great to begin with or some infection has taken hold.

Can from a Lazy dog Slightly hazy brown with bits of red at the edges. Lots of caramel and hints of chocolate with bits of earthy hops and light fruitiness to counter. Light astringency. Pretty decent for a brown ale.
