Taprooms are becoming unique experiences of their own. It\u2019s not just the beer that\u2019s the draw. It\u2019s incumbent on the brewery to provide something else, whether it is hiking trails or great views or delicious food.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;[newsletter_signup_box]&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:513,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;12&quot;:0}\">[newsletter_signup_box]<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And like any adventure, part of the fun is the trip. We love our neighborhood spots because they\u2019re easy to get to. They\u2019re familiar. We have a favorite seat. But there\u2019s nothing like grabbing a friend, getting a playlist or a podcast dialed in, and hitting the open road.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something to be said about a road trip, especially in New England that hits the backroads more than Main Street. So while we have plenty of love for Tree House or Allagash, and the independent breweries in the greater Boston area, they won\u2019t be found here. There are established players, but there are also some hidden New England breweries that are only found through the exploration of this historic region. There\u2019s both coastline and winding, foliaged-lined roads. There are tiny, scenic small towns and as much diversity in beer styles as there is in geography.<\/p>\n<h2>Fall&#8217;s Ultimate New England Breweries Road Trip: Rhode Island<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97262 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015120857\/RI.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/h2>\n<h3>Tilted Barn | Exeter, RI<\/h3>\n<p>The Ocean State may be the smallest in the country, but Rhode Island has begun to do big things with beer. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tiltedbarnbrewery.com\/\">Tilted Barn<\/a> in Exeter is as far away from the beach at Rhode Island can get. It&#8217;s on 30 acres farmland and, as owner Matt Richardson notes, \u201ca half-mile from any main road, in a century-old barn. It&#8217;s hard to picture a better place to enjoy a beer.\u201d Every Saturday, there\u2019s food trucks to help wash down pints of hazy IPA and double IPA. Richardson is most proud of his \u201cless is more\u201d approach, particularly with regard to the brewery\u2019s blonde ale series. It aims to showcase an individual hop each version. A beer called Spruce is one of Tilted Barn\u2019s most popular. It\u2019s perhaps one of the country\u2019s only wheat beer to draw a line. It\u2019s brewed with spruce tips from Christmas trees and brewed only once a year.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97263 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015120901\/MA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/>Fall&#8217;s Ultimate New England Breweries Road Trip: Massachusetts<\/h2>\n<h3>Honest Weight | Orange, MA<\/h3>\n<p>Arguably the prettiest drive through the state is Route 2 through the northern parts of central and western Massachusetts. From Walden Pond in Concord through tiny little hamlets westward, it\u2019s a drive that\u2019s picture-perfect New England. Just off that ampersand-shaped throughway is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honestweightbeer.com\/\">Honest Weight<\/a> on Route 2A, a minuscule brewery in an old mill building on the Millers River. Honest Weight specializes in small, low-ABV hoppy beers, and barrel-aged farmhouse ales with Brett. Drinkers won\u2019t find big, bombastic IPAs here. They\u2019ll find a relaxed atmosphere with a local-vibe and delicate, balanced and delicious beers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftbeer.com\/craft-beer-muses\/10-beertography-tips-from-the-pros\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 Beertography Tips from the Pros<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Brick &amp; Feather Brewery | Turners Falls, MA<\/h3>\n<p>Travel a bit more west on Route 2A and you\u2019ll come to the tiny village of Turner\u2019s Falls (pop. 4,470), in the town of Montague. We have a soft spot for small New England villages and this one happens to brew great beer. Brewing on an equally tiny, seven-barrel system, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickandfeatherbrewery.com\/\">Brick &amp; Feather<\/a> was born in 2015. The small batch brewery fits the small batch community, and its attention to craftsmanship is evident in every pour. Take the drive to try Letters from Zelda, a ridiculously delicious and delicate-bodied IPA, but don\u2019t sleep on Ode to the Afternoon Crew, a 4.9% cream ale. This place could aptly appear on a \u201cGreetings from New England\u201d postcard.<\/p>\n<h3>Stone Cow Brewery | Barre, MA<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe brewery saved the farm,\u201d says Sean DuBois of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stonecowbrewery.com\/\"> Stone Cow Brewery<\/a>. Currently in its fifth generation of operation, DuBois says they have no intention of stopping milking cows. The beer is just another option at Stone Cow along with killer food and family-first entertainment. The farm\u2019s flagship, Roll in the Hay IPA, is a throwback to the days of an IPA that can be super citrus and floral in the nose, and have that bitter backbone. The milk stout, another menu mainstay, is soft and pillowy with a ton of roasted malt complexity. The best part? Bring your family. There are acres of land with grazing cows, a playground, and tons of space in the barn to dance along to the tunes of the local musician of the day.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_97272\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97272\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015122243\/stone-cow-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015122243\/stone-cow-2-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015122243\/stone-cow-2-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015122243\/stone-cow-2-1-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Matt Osgood<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>(List: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftbeer.com\/beercation-destination\/easy-tips-traveling-beer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Beer Geek\u2019s Travel Checklist<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Notch Brewing | Salem, MA<\/h3>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t planning on including anything on this list that is a city. But if we\u2019re talking about destinations within New England in the fall, you have include the place that might provide the most New England experience of them all. As the city that\u2019s infamous for its 17th century witch trials, Salem is the epicenter of Halloween and the October is cordoned off for festivities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notchbrewing.com\/\">Notch<\/a>, on the banks of the Salem Harbor, is a biergarten worth visiting. New England brewing OG Chris Lohring and his crew are an American session brewery, and only make beers under 4.5% ABV. There\u2019s zero sacrifice for flavor. This low-key place might be the best brewery in the state, and its taproom is always packed. Get a stein of anything from a hazy IPA to a triple-decocted lager. It does not disappoint.<\/p>\n<h2>Fall&#8217;s Ultimate New England Breweries Road Trip: New Hampshire<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97266 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20181015120912\/NH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/h2>\n<h3>Moat Mountain Smokehouse &amp; Brewing Company | North Conway, NH<\/h3>\n<p>Downtown North Conway is a time machine through New England.

After indulging in some New England charm or outdoor activity, saddle up to nearby <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moatmountain.com\/\">Moat Mountain Smoke House &amp; Brewing Company<\/a>. They\u2019ve been canning their beers since before it was cool.

The area stuns in the summer with its crystal clear lakes, but astounds in the fall with its rich foliage on the drive north up Route 93. It\u2019s just far enough north, too, that the out-of-state leaf peepers have turned around. Hop off exit 19 to <a href=\"https:\/\/kettleheadbrewing.com\/\">Kettlehead Brewing<\/a>, a relative newcomer, for both lunch and a couple beers. There\u2019s no specializing here.

Surrounded by 16 acres of hiking trails, this place feels miles away from civilization and, in some ways, it is. Get warm with a mixed-fermentation saison in the refurbished barn. Or enjoy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftbeer.com\/styles\/barrel-aged-beer\">Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Pale Ale<\/a> the way it should be enjoyed: Bundled up in a sweater, in a chair outside in the crisp Maine air.<\/p>\n<h3>Tributary Brewing Company | Kittery, ME<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s perhaps no better drive in New England than along coastal Maine. Once the tourists return home post-Labor Day, the traffic thins out and views of the Atlantic stretch for miles. Less than a quarter mile from the Piscataqua River is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tributarybrewingcompany.com\/\">Tributary Brewing<\/a>, where New England brewing royalty Tod Mott calls home. There\u2019s an anachronistic quality to Tributary\u2019s beer list, on which will you find actual diversity. Stouts, browns, porters, IPA, and kolsch, all done to stylistic perfection. Mott the Lesser is an imperial stout that gained notoriety when it was called Kate the Great.

A stop in Stowe, at least from a beer lover\u2019s perspective, is incomplete without stopping by<a href=\"https:\/\/alchemistbeer.com\/\"> The Alchemist\u2019s<\/a> mammoth facility, which opened in 2016. The makers of Heady Topper, the original beer you-just-have-to-line-up-for, serves samples of whatever is on tap.

Come for the views, of course, but stay for the beer. While hops are king in New England right now, Shaun Hill\u2019s Farmstead ales are beautifully balanced and as well-crafted as well as any in the world.

In part, it\u2019s because it is. Located on 30 acres of woodlands, the brewery is housed in a barn erected in the 1960s. \u201cWe put a lot of emphasis on experience and service,\u201d says Zack Adams, owner of Fox Farm. But he adds that great beers comes first. Fox Farm has garnered acclaim for its hop-forward offerings like Burst and Dalily. But Adams is proud of the farmhouse ales and unfiltered lagers. \u201cOur name is actually a nod to the original Fox family farm, the farmhouse for which is just down the road from the brewery,\u201d Adams says. \u201cThe nearby open fields are now home to our family\u2019s vineyard. We utilize the grapes in a number of our mixed-culture fermented and clean beers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Kent Falls Brewing Co. | Kent, CT<\/h3>\n<p>In a town that houses luxurious second homes of NYC old money and an elite private school, <a href=\"https:\/\/kentfallsbrewing.com\/\">Kent Falls<\/a> is likely the most prolific brewery on the list. The owners live on the working farm, where hops are grown and where animals roam. In the tasting room, it makes sense to grab one of the juicy IPAs with names like Awkward Hug and Send It! But on a picnic table enjoying the serenity of the farm, grab one of the beautifully crafted farmhouse ales, which are delicate, balanced and refined.

The brewery uses Old World techniques of barrel aging and blending to create one-off blends. The various styles can be tart, funky, downright sour, but all degrees of complexity. Not just sticking to one style, OEC also gets a little wacky with \u201cstandard\u201d beers, like a pale ale brewed with wild yeasts and an oak-aged lager. When it comes to message boards volume, you won\u2019t hear much about OEC.
