For the past 10 years, the NH Brewers Association has brought beer lovers together to celebrate the incredible craft brewing community of New Hampshire. This year, we’re taking the party on the road, bringing the festival to a new corner of the state—welcome to the all-new NH Beer Trail Basecamp Festival!

Set against the stunning White Mountains backdrop of Tuckerman Brewing Co. in Conway, NH, this year’s festival is more than just a celebration—it’s your gateway to adventure. Featuring nearly 40 NH breweries pouring 100+ craft beers under one tent in the beer garden, the NH Beer Trail Basecamp Festival is the ultimate way to kick off your summer beer journey!

Local Food Trucks – Savor delicious eats from NH’s best food vendors.

Sunshine & Good Vibes – Because beer just tastes better outside!

Craft Beer is Community
New Hampshire’s breweries are more than just places to grab a pint—they’re community hubs where friends, families, and strangers come together to connect, unwind, and share stories. At the NH Beer Trail Basecamp Festival, we’re celebrating more than just great beer—we’re celebrating the people, passion, and sense of community that make NH craft brewing so special.

Why Basecamp?
With the relaunch of the NH Beer Trail Guidebook—a passport packed with exclusive discounts at NHBA member breweries—we wanted to capture the spirit of exploration and discovery that makes New Hampshire’s craft beer scene so special.

Formerly known as the Keep NH Brewing Festival in Concord, NH, this event is now your traveling basecamp for the NH Beer Trail, bringing breweries together in one place so you can sample a taste of the trail before setting out on your own craft beer adventure.
