Frequently Asked Questions

Nope, all ages show. Must show ID to get any alcoholic beers or seltzers
Can I Take Pictures or Video?
Yup, have at it. If you get some good shots please send them to @backwoodsbooking, tag them, the brewery and the bands! Please respect people’s privacy if they do ask you not to take their pictures.
Rain Date?
We have two stages for this action packed show. One is indoors, one is outdoors. In the event that it rains we’ll have both stages inside so don’t worry, the show will go on as scheduled either way!

No smoking inside or within 100 feet of the taproom. Also, we realize some of you are from out of state. Welcome! Marijuana is illegal in NH, we can’t have that in or around our brewery. Please respect these rules.
Can I leave and Come Back?
Yes, your wristband is your key to getting in and out of the action. Keep it with you! Keep in mind, if our staff feels that you left and came back in a different state than you left…we reserve the right to refuse your re-entry.
