NHSCOT’s Hogmanay Celebration

Don your tartan and join NHSCOT in celebrating Hogmanay on Sunday, January 1, 2023. This family-friendly New Year’s Day celebration has something for everyone!

Dress in warm layers to enjoy lively activities and spirited competitions both indoors & out. Dance to the music of Rebel Collective and the Pipes and Drums of NHSCOT. Toast a s’more by the fire, test your skills at Stramash, a popular Scottish strategy board game (we’ll teach you how to play), show off your footwork in a Highland Fling or try your hand at street curling or the Haggis Throw. Lots of family-friendly activities planned.

The evening will conclude with a “torch”-lit parade led by our chosen Hogmanay Royalty, a toast to Scotland at 7pm (midnight in Scotland) and singing Auld Lang Syne.

The Western White Mountain Beverage Trail

 

Known for its hiking trails and ski mountains, the Western White Mountains is also home to a growing number of breweries, wineries, and restaurants. After a long day of skiing or hiking, nothing tastes better than a cold beer. Or maybe you’re celebrating a special anniversary and you are looking for the perfect bottle of wine to celebrate. With a variety of places with many just walking distance away from each other, there’s no shortage of beverages to taste test in the Western White Mountains.

woodstock brewery

Woodstock Inn Brewery

Visit one of New Hampshire’s original microbreweries located in the heart of the Western White Mountains. Started over 20 years ago with a seven-barrel system, the Woodstock Inn Brewery nestled on Main Street in North Woodstock has now grown to a 30-barrel production facility and lab. The Brewery offers eight year-round brews, including their 4000-Footer IPA, Old Man Oatmeal Stout, and Pig’s Ear Brown Ale. Each season, they also brew special seasonal flavors to be enjoyed on the patio after a long day of hiking or by the fireplace after an epic powder day. No matter what your tastebuds like, there is a beer on tap or in cans waiting for you at the Woodstock Inn Brewery.

one love brewery

One Love Brewery

Located in downtown Lincoln in the historic Henry Paper Mill, One Love Brewery is a German-style beer pub. Brewed in-house and featuring creative names, the beers at One Love are typically German lagers, but you’ll also find some hoppy varieties on tap. Make sure you pair your pint with something delicious from the menu. The starters menu is eccentric featuring items such as Ravioli Tikki Masala, Empanadas, and Poutine. And, don’t miss the burgers! If beer isn’t your drink of choice, then you’ll want to try a cocktail. From White Peach Sangria to Pain Killers, you’ll find something to quench the thirst on a hot day. Did we mention that the deck at One Love Brewery is dog-friendly?

seven birches winery

Seven Birches Winery

It is not every day you find a winery in the mountains of New England. Seven Birches Winery is a boutique winery with two locations in Lincoln – the Lincoln Village Shops and RiverWalk Resort at Loon Mountain. Using grapes grown around the world and locally in New Hampshire, you’ll find a large variety of white, red, and everything in between wines. Sign up for a wine tour or taste testing or both and discover delicious wine in the Western White Mountains. Seven Birches also offers a weekly ‘Vineyard Talk’. Join their vineyard manager at 2pm on Saturdays (weather permitting) for a 30-minute Vineyard Talk in the RiverWalk Resort Vineyard.  Meet at the RiverWalk Winery Tasting Room at 2pm and you’ll be taken out to the vineyard to discuss vines and future plans. The talk is complimentary and does not require reservations. It’s the perfect thing to do before or after a tour or wine tasting.

rhythm ciders

Rhythm Handcrafted Beverages

If making wine was not enough, Seven Birches Winery started dipping their toes into making hard cider as well in 2020. Fermented naturally using locally sourced apples, Rhythm Handcrafted Beverages currently offers a variety of flavors including the recently released Blood Orange and Lemon-Lime. The Blueberry Hard Apple Cider is fermented with fresh-press apple juice along with fresh whole blueberries. The Heirloom Cider is barrel-aged, done dry, almost champagne-like, and seasonal so get it before it is gone. Rhythm Studio is located next to the Atrium Wine Bar in the Lincoln Village Shops and has expanded their offerings! Try their locally sourced and produced hard seltzers, fruit wines and more.

Gypsy Café

The Gypsy Café on Main Street in Lincoln is a favorite amongst the locals. Co-owned by award-winning chef, Dan Duris, the Gypsy features food from around the world. While the food is delicious, many people come to the Gypsy just for the drinks as they are some of the best in the Western White Mountains. Their margaritas made with fresh, homemade lemon and lime sour mix are legendary. The drink menu also includes a variety of specialty martinis and other cocktails.

Twin Barns North Taproom

Located right on Main Street N. Woodstock, the North Taproom is Twin Barns Brewing Co’s Northern outpost for proper beer, raised in a barn. Delicious beers, cider, and non-alcoholic beverages will surely delight both locals and visitors alike. The Twin Barns North Taproom welcomes patrons to bring their own food, encouraging the support of other local Main Street restaurants. However, if you get a little hungry while enjoying their beverages, they’ve got a great assortment of snacks for purchase. Enjoy live music, community events, year-round patio seating and even a shuffleboard table!

Drink Responsibility!

If you plan on indulging in a few alcoholic beverages in the Western White Mountains, remember to drink responsibly and don’t drink and drive. One of the beauties of the Lincoln/Woodstock area is the closeness of many of the breweries, wineries, and restaurants. You can walk or ride your bike to many of the places. If you are staying at one of the many resorts in the area, they also may have a shuttle that can pick you up at the end of the night.

Discover the delicious beers, wines, and cocktails in the Western White Mountains. And don’t forget to cheers!
