What Woodstock Inn Brewery does

Woodstock Inn Brewery is a family-owned integrated hospitality and craft brewing business operating from 135 Main Street, North Woodstock, New Hampshire, on the basecamp of the White Mountains. Founded by Scott Rice in 1982 when he purchased the original property for $35,000, the company began as an inn and restaurant and expanded into craft brewing in 1995 with flagship Pig's Ear Brown Ale.
