Copper Pig Brewery in Lancaster, NH for a couple pints, a taster & a killer breakfast on a Sunday. The first of three spots on my trip up to northern New Hampshire to check off the furthest breweries from me I hadn't been to. The trip up north definitely opened my eyes to just how desolate & far it is between some towns, I'm definitely to much of a city boy to make it up here happily. I have never had anything from Copper Pig Brewery before so I was going in completely blind expectation wise. The styles here were pretty broad with a couple lagers, a porter & stout, pale ale, DIPA, red ale, seltzer, cider & wheat ale. The further north you get in NH I've noticed the decline of IPA's on the menu places, especially NEIPA's with more traditional offerings taking up a lot of space on the tap lists now. I tried to get a few styles to get a taste of as much as possible so let's get to it. π»π»π₯β
I started with a pint of the KILKENNY IRISH RED, it was a good above average crisp red ale with some excellent malt & cereal flavor on the finish. I then grabbed a 5oz taster of the LITTLE PIGGY PORTER, a delicious, smooth & creamy dark beer that would have been worth a pint of. For my last beer I scooped a pint of the LARS007 DIPA, it was good, but I would stick to the more traditional offerings here it seems to be where the passion lies. π»π₯ββπͺπ
Let's talk about that breakfast I got, it was phenomenal & very well priced for under $15. I got scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage patties, white toast & three massive pancakes which I destroyed with butter & syrup. Along with the beers I consumed I needed a wheelchair to roll me out of the place. I went on a Sunday morning & they were only open until noon doing breakfast. All the seating options here including tables, hightops, a small bar & a seasonal patio section. I didn't see any options for beer to go, but they might do growlers. Fun spot, good beers & a damn great breakfast. π»π₯βπ³π₯π₯£ββ₯οΈπΊ
