Elm City Brewing Company (ECB), located in Keene, New Hampshire’s Colony Mill Marketplace, is a local institution. It’s a restaurant, pub and brewery all under one roof and a favorite drinking and dining spot for the area. From the moment you walk in and see stacked bags of brewing supplies you’ll know it’s a genuine brewery.
The restaurant offers a wonderful selection of food, from traditional pub fare to impressive entrees. The kitchen uses locally grown or produced ingredients when possible since ECB likes to work within the local economy.
Several signature items grace the menu as well. They offer the best Reuben sandwich in the area. The crispy and flavorful Buffalo wings can be had several days a week at special happy hour prices. Their potato skins are essentially a quarter of a potato each and the onion rings are bigger than a Brooklyn bagel.
What really distinguishes ECB regionally, of course, is the beer. The brewery equipment can be observed from inside the dining and bar area, letting the patrons feel a visual connection to it. There are usually several varieties available, all brewed on the premises.
For a modest cost you can get a sampler of four delicious, craft-brewed beers and ales and learn which you like best. Follow that with a pint of your favorite one to complement your meal. If your eyes were bigger than your stomach and you need to take home part of your meal, you’re in luck. You can buy a half-gallon growler of any brew and take the enjoyment home with you.
Whether you like a mild beer that goes down easily or you’re a hard core connoisseur with a taste for something dark as night and bitter enough to wrinkle your nose they can meet your needs. Stop by and enjoy a pint of their latest brew. Your thirst will be quenched and you’ll experience classic brewing that can only be found in one place in the area – Elm City Brewing Company.
