I’ve had 603 Brewing’s Winni Amber many times and it’s always been a favorite. But I had never visited their brewery until last week – and I’m so glad I finally made it.

Prioritization has always been a challenge for me! But my wife was not so easily hypnotized, so we entered the brewery. Teamwork!

In fact, the name of his new album, “Uncle John’s Band,” released October 13, comes from one of the Dead’s famous tunes and he also did a rendition of it for one of the record’s tracks.

It’s titled “Merry Good Enough” and while the subject matter I just described might sound suspenseful, it actually promises to provide some laughs in clever ways. In fact, people can experience this when they attend the film’s premiere at the Rex Theatre in Manchester on December 1. Filmmakers Dan Kennedy & Caroline Keene, who are both from the New England region with Kennedy actually growing up in Manchester, are the ones behind the vision and creation of the motion picture.

On their website Canterbury Aleworks defines coddiwomple like so: “Wandering intently, going no where in particular.” So already I have misused the word, for on this past glorious Saturday I was going somewhere quite specific — to Canterbury Aleworks to try several of their beers, including one which they call Coddiwomple. (Spoiler alert – it was pretty good!)
We wanted to help those who may still be at loose ends by compiling a list of local restaurants offering up all the traditional turkey-day dishes.
