Loaded Question Brewing Company

Loaded Question Brewing Company located in Portsmouth, NH is a hidden gem tucked into the historic Button Factory at 909 Islington St Suite #12. Though it takes a short walk to reach, the journey is absolutely worth it. The brewery boasts a cozy taproom and a spacious outdoor beer garden, perfect for relaxing with friends or fellow beer lovers.

We kicked back in the beer garden, soaking up the late afternoon sun. A few rounds of cornhole added just the right dose of friendly competition before we set off for our next adventure. The atmosphere was laid back and welcoming, with locals and beer tourists alike enjoying the scene.

🎃 If you're planning a visit, October is a standout month they say the hall gets fully decked out for the season, adding a festive flair to the experience. Their draft selection is impressive, with highlights like:

• All the Bits – a hop-forward IPA

• BRGR Brew – a smooth amber ale
