We are passionate about brewing high-quality beer that encourages a a spirit of thoughtful enjoyment. We serve our offerings in a comfortable taproom with an airy, rustic, colonial atmosphere true to our New England roots. Like the campfire depicted in our logo, Nod Hill Brewery is a welcoming gathering place for friends to meet, relax, and enjoy a locally brewed beer. Head brewer Kyle Acenowr's m

ain influences are the expressive, adventurous, and pioneering brewers of America, Belgium and England. In his own words, Kyle's brewing approach attempts to "emulate the best aspects of my favorite beers, while also adding in my own variations. Through experience and shared knowledge, I use traditional and experimental techniques to brew an array of styles. I find joy in blurring the lines between styles in order to create certain flavor profiles. To do this, I focus on improving my process so that each ingredient is in the right place, with the right potency. They should be pleasant, well rounded, and shared with friends.”

The father/son team of Rob and Dave Kaye have had a vision of opening a brewery for many years, with different inspirations and experiences informing it along the way. From keeping and serving cask ale in London, to spending nights drinking monk-brewed Märzen beer in Salzburg, to batch after batch of experimental homebrews, Dave and Rob were inspired to one day create a venue that reflected their love of beer and the magical experiences they had enjoying it at special places along the way.

From tank to table: We are excited to introduce a redefined 𝕄𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕔 𝕄𝕒𝕚𝕝𝕓𝕠𝕩. Now available this week on draft!

This 4% hibiscus witbier is a truly tart ale with a spicy, dry finish, brewed with copious amounts of malted and unmalted white winter wheat. A light touch of lactose provides balance against bright acidity. Deep pink in color, and with a fruit-packed palate from hibiscus flowers used in the kettle and raspberry and tangerine puree during fermentation.

Come get a pour on this beautiful summer weekend☀️

𝔸𝕔𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕎𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕤.

Canned this week, Ace is our 5% Trappist-inspired Single Ale. This graceful little beer displays an expressive blend of herbal & fruity aromatics, crisp malt character, and a dry, estery finish.

A rare style not usually seen outside Belgium, this is our take on the table beers made in Trappist monasteries for the monks' own everyday enjoyment.
