When you think of the ingredients in beer, you probably imagine hops, barley, wheat, and yeast. And you wouldn’t be wrong. The ales, lagers, stouts and other styles made by New Hampshire brewers are shaped by the subtle mix of these ingredients.

In fact, almost all our water in New Hampshire and more than half across the United States is sourced from forests.
