Downtown Littleton, antiquing and some seriously good beer.

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.

  3. 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!
