MORE ON MAPLE MONTH
March is a month-long celebration of NH’s great maple tradition. There are 350+ maple producers in the state and the NH Maple Producers Association encourages people to get out and “support your local sugarhouses and the sugaring tradition.” 

ABOUT THE BEER
Woodstock Inn Brewery’s Maple Porter
is a big, rich, robust porter with roasty notes balanced out with real NH maple syrup sweetness in the finish. The maple syrup we use is made right next door at Fadden’s General Store & Maple Sugar House.

This seasonal beer is available December through March at the brewery and in package and grocery stores throughout New England including Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
