Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Co.

Just north of North Conway on Rt 16 we stumbled into Moat Mtn after a long day hiking the nearby Isolation Mtn. (As it happened we ran into some other Isolation hikers on the way in).

The restaurant is in a huge rambling white farmhouse, and we had no problem getting a table, though I was a little afraid I'd get lost on the way to the bathroom. They also have a good sized bar, where we managed to catch up on the Red Sox game on our way out.

For a brewpub the food was average, however the beers were outstanding. First the food. Given the smoke house billing, we both went with barbecue, the pulled pork sandwich and the beef brisket dinner. Maybe traditional barbecue comes this way, but we both were left wanting more sauce.

Now the beer:
Belgian Single - 2 (very drinkable belgian beer in a brewpub, I'm impressed)
Bear Peak Brown - 2
Golden Dog Pilsner - 3 (hoppy german/czech style pilsner, great crisp summer beer)
