Are you underage or something?

If not you should be able to find brews all around. Unless there is a special brand you are looking for?

They sell Tucks just about everywhere up there. Walk into any convenience store or gas station. You can also check their site for retailers. Last time I checked, it was pretty comprehensive.

They sell it in on tap at that cave bar inside the Mt. Washington Hotel across the street.

Otherwise check the general store where you turn right off of 3 to 302 (is it 302?). They have it there.

The bar on the second floor of the lodge has a pretty decent selection and I'm fairly sure Tucks was on the tap list a few weeks ago and probably still is.

Fairly sure it's on tap there too. I noticed the beer selection improved a bit since last year.

That's one cool bar IMHO. Tipped back quite a few Tucks IPA's there this past summer when I was up with the entire family for a long weekend.

Also, pretty close to across the street from the main entrance to the ski area is Fabyan's Station, a fun old/sometimes current railroad station turned restaurant + bar

Took a tour of the Mt Washington hotel during a bad storm last season (bad enough to close the BW lifts). The entrance to the Cave looked crazy. I was told they have live music there every night of the year. Myself and the GF are planning to crash there and check it out.

Tucks has IPAs?

Going to BW tomorrow. Maybe I'll check out Fabyans. Never noticed it.

The Cave is VERY cool. It's an old speak-easy from the Prohibition days. Supposedly Babe Ruth drank there.

The Tuck's you find on tap a Pale Ale, not an IPA. They have 3 brews - a pale ale, an alt (Headwall Alt) and a stout (6288 Stout), which is sold in 4-packs. Once in a while I see Headwall on tap, but I've never seen 6288 on tap.

I think it's funny that the OP was looking for someone to purchase brews for him and it dissolved quickly into a discussion of the best beer in the area. :lol:

Moat Mountain makes some tasty Brews. Nick is pretty talented.

The cave is very cool. Spent many a evening there when we did the Mt. Washington stay as a family many years ago.

In the winter months I cannot be in the state of NH without having at least one Tuckerman's Pale Ale, and brining some back across the boarder. I need to convince Gunstock to start pouring it though.

while slightly off topic the beer in Munich is like piss water compared to the micro-brews of the North East. I was very surprised by this because all I heard prior to going was German beer is the best , blah blah blah. Nice to know some of the best brews in the world (IMO) are made right in my backyard.

Friend of mine told me the fastest riser in beer sales over in England happens to be San Diego's own Stone. Which means the British are starting to realize their beer sucks compared to ours.

Some of the brews coming out of VT right now are outstanding. Some you can buy almost anywhere, some you need to know where to go, but it's great stuff.

Lawson's is a newcomer and quickly has established itself among the best. I've had their IPA on tap at MRG and it's out of this world. Only available at five places on draught and one store (in Warren VT) in bottles, but well worth seeking out. Not that I need another excuse to visit the Mad River Valley ...

I like the arrogant bastard. Just last night a friend was telling me about the double bastard, apparently with twice the alcohol!
