On a recent excursion we discovered a new brewery and a new to us home brew store in Hampton, New Hampshire. Whenever we go on a drive we try to see if there are any beer tastings, tours, or beer news we can check up on. This time in a last minute detour we checked out an up and coming brewery, Blue Lobster Brewing Company. Since we had never heard of them we were excited to see what they were all about, alas nay, for the doors have yet to be officially opened for business. However, we were lucky enough to converse with a gentleman who gave us a little background to their company and their craft brews. He said Blue Lobster Brewing Company should be opening their doors mid-October. We plan on going back and taking a tour and tasting! He also directed us to a neighboring home brew store. The Home Brew Barn, although small, has much to offer in beer supplies. We were able to get a great price on a recycled Cornelius Keg and they have great prices on large bags grains. Definitely worth the drive over the border for those not lucky enough to live in the New Hampshire seacoast area. The owner was friendly and offered lots of information, very useful if your are just getting into the hobby. He also offers cider, beer, and wine making classes. There is also a plethora of cheese making information and kits.

Overall our unexpected detour was definitely worth it. Walking away with new information, a recycled cornelious keg, and new spots for supplies and tastings, soon to come.
If you find yourself in the New Hampshire seacoast area check out The Home Brew Barn and their neighbor The Blue Lobster Brewing Company. In the meantime here are their links for more information:
