Craft Beer Xchange Reviews
Victory nor Defeat DIPA absolutely delicious! Vacationing here from CT & popped into the Witches Brew Pub Craft Beer Xchange. Love the vibe of this place along with the views of the lake. Even on a rainy day such a great location up on the hill overlooking Weirs Beach.
I moved back to the Lakes Region about a month ago and was thrilled to see that the craft beer scene has gown. I stumbled upon the Craft Beer Xchange mainly due to its name. I went in on a Sunday afternoon and the place was not busy at all. I bellied up to the bar and was thrilled to see the local selection of draft beer. The bartender was more than friendly and we talked about all of the different beers they had on the menu. He offered samples of anything I wanted and so I opted for a flight. The beer was great, the atmosphere was amazing and the bartender fantastic. I had the "BReuben" for lunch and it was incredible! A bratwurst wrapped in pizza dough with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. SO GOOD! Fast forward to a week later. I brought the grandson there and we shared te Witches Warts (cheese curds) and they were awesome. The staff, as before, was more than friendly! I cannot recommend this place enough. Going back tonight!
Such a great spot! Walking distance from a bunch of different inns in Laconia, great view of Weirs beach. The place has wonky hours so be sure to check online or call ahead. When we went with two kids and two adults, the picnic tables appeared to be busy but there were still a bunch that were open. We went inside and a server said they were no longer seating people which was pretty baffling, but then someone else said they would seat us but it may be a bit until we had service. I understand being short staffed but the latter option was good for us and should have been offered from the start. Great beer menu, we tried a few. Food options weee good too, kind of like bar food. The service was decent for being as busy as they were. Will definitely go back.
Great location, come for the beers and view! Awesome draft list of a ton of craft beers! As other reviews have said, they're pretty short staffed. There was only one women waiting tables when we visited, which come to find out is the owner! She was so sweet and gave some great recommendations. We came for a beer and snack and our wait wasn't ideal but we were there to hang out anyway. There's only table service, more like a restaurant than a brewery. We ordered the cheese curds which were appropriately named the "witches warts" very cute! They're dog friendly on the patio! Wish they had pricing on their draft list because some beers (like sours or stouts) are more expensive than you'd expect.
We stopped in for pizza and drinks. Overall such an excellent experience! The staff was extraordinarily friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had the fig and prosciutto pizza which was delicious. We will certainly come again next time.
