Every time we stay in the White Mountains of New Hampshire we try to explore a new town. This trip it was Littleton….
.
.
A charming place with a delightfully quirky downtown area.
.
.
They’ve been voted Best American Main Street numerous times and once you stroll around… it’s easy to see why.
.
.
Of course when you’re strolling with my husband that means ducking into every antique store you see.
.
.
Clearly this fellow takes his wine selection seriously.
.
.
But wait… what’s that on the floor in the back?
.
.
Weeee! Another vintage alcohol related crate for my vinyl collection. I paid more for this one than any of the others, but we haggled 20% off and there’s no sales tax in New Hampshire so I’m calling it a win.
Husband doing the dishes in our resort condo as well? Score!!!
.
.
Heading to the riverfront area we discovered a pedestrian covered bridge.
.
.
Which afforded some great views..
.
.
And that old red building with the waterwheel on the left?
.
.
Turned out to be Schilling brewery which made yours truly very happy.
.
.
They kept the feel of the old mill with a rustic interior…
.
.
And served a fabulous wood fired artisan pizza with chicken, bacon, cheese, spinach, tart apples and maple syrup. Sound weird? Yes… but it was heavenly.
.
.
As was their beer, which they take very seriously. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and quizzed you before you chose. It wasn’t pass or fail, but it definitely resulted in him pouring you the perfect beer suited to your tastes.
My liquid ambrosia this visit? Schlaumeier – a Hefeweizen (wheat beer) with delicate notes of banana and clove. It sounds bizarre was positively grand.
.
River's world..... 
Nice spot. That pizza sounds delicious.

I’m happy you found an alcohol crate for your vinyl collection!! What a wonderful little place of heaven. I love to stroll through antique shops myself. That pizza doesn’t sound weird at all, I’ve had a prosciutto, pear, blue cheese and walnut pizza at a pizzeria near the historical district near where I work. So, I’m sure you pizza was just delish!

It was a tough choice between that or balsamic and brie. Wish I’d had enough appetite for two….

What a great score of finds ~> the town, the Molson’s crate, the bridge, the mill, the brew, the pizza, and . . . the dishwasher!

Technically I take the dishwater everywhere I travel, but for some reason it’s not always functional.

Hey, if you can put pineapple on a pizza, why not apple? Sounds good to me!

It was lovely. And to be honest, I don’t care for pineapple pizza because it’s always with a red sauce … and they just don’t blend well.

That’s funny with the skeleton. That’s usually the husbands waiting for the wives to get done shopping.
