Canterbury AleWorks

If I could give this place more than 5-​stars, I would! Dave (the brewery, owner, & bartender!) is awesome. The tasting room has character for days and the beer is delicious! Highly recommend a stop and a growler!

Wonderful experience! Wasn’t sure what to expect down the long, narrow, windy dirt road. Then we met Steve and all was good. Great beers, great British atmosphere, great look! Thanks Steve.

This place is magical! Had the chance to come here with a large bachelor/​bachelorette party, getting the whole brewery to ourselves. Steve was gracious enough to guide us all through a flight, going through each beer one by one with information about each. He really made the experience wonderful — you weren’t just tasting beer, you were taking in the whole lovely place and the people behind it. And the place itself is fabulous — a little farm with the brewery in a deliciously smelling mill. This isn’t your typical brewpub, it’s all about the beer and atmosphere. Glad to have found such a gem.

Found this awesome place by accident on our way to Fox Country Smokehouse. Wow the ride down the driveway starts the adventure and to pass the hops fields and ponds brings you into the frame of mind where you melt into relaxation. once you come upon the barn you have arrived and the real experience begins. Down the stairs on the left side to the lower level past the water wheel through the 18^th century door. You have found a hidden gem in the mystical woods of Canterbury to sit and look at the detail and though put into everything is worth the ride. Then to be able to talk with the creator of such a place and awesome beer. I normally do not like craft beer but this man changed my thoughts of craft brewers. His love and knowledge of the craft of brewing from the hops and grains to his marvel of new and old world brewing method. To have the brewing process explained by the man who built and uses the facility makes the tasting experience the best. I am hooked on craft brewing and now that I have Canterbury Ale Works growlers it gives me the perfect reason to keep returning. I look forward to tasting what he has come up with next. I will swing by the smokehouse and grab some peanuts and cashews to share with next tasting which will be real soon. Go for a wicked (yes I am from NH) nice ride in the country and try this for a destination you will not be disappointed.

It’s as they state. They may be in the middle of nowhere, but man oh man. They have it going good there. At first you think your lost, then you arrive and fall in love. Great chatting with the owner and trying some exceptional beers. My girlfriend and I went on a whim. And we couldn’t have been happier. Such a fantastic experience.

What an exceptional experience! From the moment you begin down the long winding driveway to arriving at the unique barn like structure that is Canterbury Ale Works you will be enchanted. The atmosphere oozes with charm, tradition, and whimsy. The beer is exceptional, and the experience unrivaled by any brewery in New England! Don’t miss this great experience!

Awesome set up!!! Great atmosphere. I like that it is off road and off the beaten path. Owner super nice to all ages. We loved the train and the sample OF BREW. It was so good we left with multiple growlers!!!

Stopped in a few ago, and this place is awesome. Its located in the middle of nowhere, which is part of its charm. The brewer is also the server, so its great to sit down and talk about the beer, since he know everything about how he did it. Super friendly. When I went they had 8 beers on tap, with free samples, and growler fills.

Picturesque scenery in the New Hampshire snow, we drove to a nearby smokehouse and then on the way back hit this place for a sample of some local beer.
The hefeweizen was the best on tap so we took a growler to go — $ 12
