Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern

Burnt Timber Brewing is everything you want a microbrewery/brewpub to be. It serves local food from local farms. Friendly staff (Dean-O was great). Games to play. Plus, it’s small, it’s cozy, and you could totally picture yourself bunkering down for five or more beers during a blizzard. The Tavern is located just outside of downtown Wolfeboro, NH. It features a bar to saddle up to, and a few tables lining the walls. Eddie and Mara own the joint, opening it in 2016? 2017? Trying to figure it out … based on what I saw, I’m not sure they brew on-site. Update - they seem to have a farm, or at least so says [Facebook][15]. ## Brewpub Hours - Monday 4pm to 9pm - Tuesday Closed - Wednesday - Friday 4pm to 9pm - Saturday/Sunday - 12pm to 9pm ### Breweries near Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern in Wolfeboro, NH Being on the east side of Winnipesaukee makes Wolfeboro just a short distance from Maine, which, as a state, has a great craft beer scene. - Gneiss Brewing Company - Hobbs Tavern & Brewing Company - Kettlehead Brewing Company (Tilton, NH) - Lone Wolfe Brewing Company (Wolfeboro, NH) - Twin Barns Brewing Company (Meredith, NH) - White Mountain Brewing Company (Ashland, NH) ## Does Burnt Timber Brewing offer a tour? The tavern is small (24 seats), and as I said above, it seems like Eddie and Mara brew on their farm. So I’m guessing there are no tours to be had. Not a mention on their website either. ## Is the Burnt Timber brewpub kid friendly? For sure. A couple brought in their toddler and no one had a problem with it. Didn’t notice a baby changing station in the bathroom though.

## What types of beer does Burnt Timber Brewing brew? A variety. New Hampshire breweries seem to have wide selections and Burnt Timber Brewing follows the trend. Blonde Ales (the Busty! Farmhouse Blonde), three IPAs (VantaBlack, Ridgeline, and Dank-A-Sawrus Rex), a stout, a saison, a red ale, and the Takes Two to Mango. The Dank-A-Sawrus Rex might be considered their flagship, it’s gotten some Lakes Region press.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Mead. The MargaMeada was quite interesting. The wine they served was mostly commercial, store-bought stuff. ### Do they have a mug club? Not that I could tell. Maybe my Burnt Timber baller status isn’t elevated enough. Guess I will have to go back! ### Can you get flights or growlers? Yes to both. We got flights. And, they offered other beers not currently on tap for growlers (Wit Mountains Wit).

## How about merch? Bought a pint glass. Cause why not!?

## Does Burnt Timber Brewing serve food? Locally sourced pubgrub - aka - the best kind. Ordered the nachos with pulled pork, the brisket tacos, and a house salad with some funky honey maple sriracha mustard dressing. Or something like that.

The food was a treat. The chips were ballpark style chips, only with some really great pulled pork. Pulling them apart was like pulling bark off of a white birch tree. The brisket tacos were tasty. No complaints on the salad. Even the sour cream had some chives and herbs to liven it up.

## Do they offer entertainment? Their social media accounts boast of live music. And, they have games. To note - catchphrase is harder to play with a mouthful of brisket tacos. Just so you know. Oh, and some Cards Against Humanity behind the bar. Even better? They had a foosball table out back. Games at a brewery reminds me of the old Amherst Brewing Company. Just saying.

## Can I buy Burnt Timber Brewing beers in Lakes Region stores? I know that they have done tastings around the state. No clue on whether or not that translates to in-store sales. ## Final Thoughts on Burnt Timber Brewing and Tavern Can’t wait to go back. Like I said, everything you’d want in a brewpub. And, the Wolfeboro summer scene hasn’t even blossomed. Business should really start to pick up downtown over the next month.
