Description
We are a 3bbl nanobrewery in New Hampshire's Seacoast, focused on bringing high quality, inventive craft beer to the region. Our main passion is the East Coast IPA, especially the ability of the hop to play such an integral role in taste and aroma. In addition to unfiltered IPAs, our smaller brewing capacity allows the ability to brew many one-off and experimental series outside of our core beer; pilsners, fruited sours, Goses and stouts and constantly rotating through our tanks.

Our tap room is located in Dover, NH, offering samples and pints of all of our 10 current drafts. With our 3bbl size, we are able to constantly rotate beer selections, so every time you come in you'll find new offerings and interpretations of a variety of beer styles.

Draft taster pour at Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival. Appearance is opaque, dark yellow, no sparkle, thin ring of white head. Aroma is strong tropical fruit and citrus. Taste is nice orange citrus fruit, tropical fruits, slight herb at the end. Palate is light-to-medium bodied, with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, really smooth, flavors work well together--strong.

16 oz. can from the brewery. Sticker reads 7-17-18. Cloudy bright yellow appearance. Aroma is mango, onion, and grapefruit rind. Flavor has the mango and scallion with a nice lingering grapefruit rind bitterness. The bitterness is nice and it reminds you it is a real IPA. (No sweet sugar bomb here). Another nice beer from the Brewer at GCB.
