Craft Beer Xchange, Home of the Witches Brew Pub

Another fun hidden craft beer gem in New Hampshire, the Craft Beer Xchange Home of the Witches Brew Pub in Laconia has a lot of great options on draft & some good (great according to my Mom) pizza & phenomenal tots. I went here briefly for a couple beers years ago in mid 2022, but on a visit to my home town I figured it was the perfect time to return. The tap list here was excellent with a pretty good diverse amount of options for styles including sours, IPA's, pumpkins, ciders, lagers & more. I went on a Monday night at opening which is always appreciated since a lot of spots aren't open on Mondays or Tuesdays now. They had a trivia game going on later in the night which I'm sure people enjoy to kick off their week on a Monday night. Between these guys, Defiant Records & Craft Beer & D.A.

We visited on a Monday night where they were hosting a weekly trivia event (7-9 pm). We had so much fun!! The staff, host, and owners were friendly and full of knowledge about various topics. We had the fig and prosciutto pizza which was so yummy, we can see why it is award-winning (great crust base!). We also had the Brat bratwurst which was all very delicious. Shout out again to the staff for creating an amazing environment that was easy-going for parties who wanted to hang out privately but also for more social groups wanting to interact and learn, I think they put a lot of care into the place and we appreciated our time there. Will hope to visit again!

The LARGEST CRAFT BEER SELECTION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE!!! THE PIZZA IS BOMB!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT HERE. Great people, great service, amazing homey location. The food is delicious and the prices are amazing!!!! Come check out this amazing Laconia staple!! 100/10 HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!

We had an absolutely amazing time here ! Food, ambiance, and (most importantly) the beers were ALL phenomenal and the southwest chicken wrap was arguably the best sandwich consumed of 2025 so far. Only thing better was the service — Greg was awesome! We sat outside post a hike and the picnic tables were absolutely PERFECT for two humans and a tired dog with beautiful water views from atop the hill. Would recommend to anyone who would want a chill pop-in or long afternoon (dog-friendly) hang!

The wait was worth it! Poor ladies were running around like crazy but still had it together! Great food too! Great scenery, beautiful building! Not sure why this didn't post last year but we went back today, July 8 and didn't disappoint! Quick and friendly service. Great food, pretty scenery! Would definitely go back!
