Henniker Brewing Company

What Henniker Brewing Company does

Henniker Brewing Company is a privately held craft brewery founded in 2011 by Dave Currier, operating from a single taproom and brewing facility at 129 Centervale Road in Henniker, New Hampshire. The brewery was established on the former site of Bound Tree Medical, Currier's prior business that was sold in 2010, and produces a portfolio of core beers (Henniker Kolsch, Working Man's Porter, Hop Slinger IPA, Miles & Miles Pale Ale, Damn Sure DIPA, Granite Trail NEIPA), hard seltzers (Baboosic, Pemigewasset), and rotating limited releases spanning ales, lagers, IPAs, wheat beers, and barrel-aged stouts. The company emphasizes locally themed branding tied to New Hampshire history and outdoor recreation.

The business operates through a multi-channel revenue model: direct-to-consumer taproom sales with indoor and outdoor beer garden seating, curbside pickup via a Square-based online store, branded merchandise e-commerce, and wholesale distribution through four regional partners covering New Hampshire (NH Distributors, Bellavance Beverage), Maine (Pine State Beverage), and Pennsylvania (ABV% Beverage). The taproom hosts a year-round events program including Mug Club Mondays, Run Club, Trivia nights, BBQ Fest, live music, and rotating food truck collaborations, with a dog-friendly policy differentiating it from most competitors. A barrel-aging partnership with Steadfast Spirits Distilling Company supports a limited-release Russian Imperial Stout SKU.

The company is founder-owned, with 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and no headquarters or production footprint outside of Henniker, NH. Customer segments are horizontal across local New England consumers, outdoor enthusiasts, families, and retail buyers, with no enterprise or large-anchor customer concentration.
