On Saturday, July 9th, the popular A Brew With A View beerfest was held on the grounds of Steele Hill Resort under a blanket of sunshine providing perfect weather for the event with temperatures in the high seventies. This was a sellout year for the 7th annual brewfest, with many attendees either staying overnight with the A Brew With A View Getaway promotional package or purchasing their tickets weeks to months in advance, counting down the days until the big event. Once the clock hit 4pm on the big day, VIP guests began their tastings sporting their new drawstring sport packs, rainbow lensed sunglasses and the beer tasting essential, pretzel necklaces from the exclusive SWAG bag. There were delicious hors d’oeuvres to enjoy for the first hour of the event as well as tasty brews unique to the VIP hour. General Admission guests entered right at 5pm joining in alongside the VIP ticket holders, taking delight in the multiple varieties of local craft brews.   

Matt the Sax provided an excellent melodic mix matching the vibe perfectly for this year’s event. Incorporating his saxophone, guitar and excellent vocals into his musical performance, Matt got the crowd up and dancing with brews in hand. The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction also joined in on the fun this year by hosting a 50/50 raffle and our first annual Keg Toss competition, raising a total of nearly $1,200 to be donated to local families in need!  Event goers got to test their strength by seeing how far they could hurl a keg with all proceeds benefiting the children and families of the Lakes Region. There was a men’s and women’s division where the furthest throw in each category was awarded a $150 Path Resorts gift Card. The women’s winner was Nicole Carr who was able to launch the keg a distance of 36.5 feet. In the men’s division, Mike Kent was able to take the gold with a throw of 28 feet exactly. Congrats to both of our Keg Toss winners and all competitors who went out to show their strength while donating to a great cause. 

Our annual people’s choice Brew with a View awards were also a big hit this year. Event attendees enjoyed using their voting stones to vote for their favorite breweries and the top three vendors this year were:

The success of this incredible annual brewfest would not be possible without the help from our staff, distributors, vendors and of course the enthusiastic beerfest attendees! We would like to send out a huge “Thank You” to all involved! We cannot wait until the 2023 A Brew With A View event, taking place on Saturday, July 8th.

We will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our guests, owners and team members as we host a safe and exciting event this summer.

• Occupancy will remain limited to provide enough space to comfortably host 200 guests
• The venue will remain expanded to provide extra space for more social distancing
• Facial coverings will not be required, however recommended while not in the act of tasting
• We will be recording all guest’s contact information prior to checking into the event
• All employees and brewery vendors will be required to stay home if they are not feeling well and we will also be taking and recording employee temperatures prior to the start of the event. We ask that attendees also stay home if they are not feeling well or have any symptoms of COVID-19.

A New Look For Our 2021 Brew With A View Event

After making the difficult decision to postpone our 6th annual A Brew with a View Event last year due to the unprecedented challenges that we faced during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, we have carefully thought out a practical and responsible way to host the popular brewfest this year. Our Brew with a View will be held on Saturday, July 10th 2021 outdoors at the picturesque Steele Hill Resort.

Our priority at Steele Hill Resorts is to ensure the safety and health of our employees, guests and owners. Please read on below for special health and safety protocols we will put in place for this year’s event to adhere to federal and state guidelines and responsibly host a successful (and fun) brewfest.

  • Occupancy will be limited to comply with state guidelines which will provide guests a more comforting setting
  • We have expanded the event venue to provide plenty of room for social distancing. There will also be signage stating social distancing rules and max occupancy that must be adhered to
  • We will be recording all guest’s contact information upon checking into the event
  • Each party will be seated at designated tables
  • Facial coverings will be required when not sitting at your table
  • All employees and brewery vendors will be required to stay home if they are not feeling well and we will also be taking and recording employee temperatures prior to the start of the event. We ask that attendees also stay home if they are not feeling well or have any symptoms of COVID-19.
  • There will be multiple alcohol-based hand sanitizer stations throughout the event which we encourage guests to use frequently

We are excited to bring back some normalcy after a very challenging year. The event will be held outside, under our expansive event tent with unparalleled views of nearby Lake Winnisquam and the Belknap Mountain Range. There is no better way to enjoy the incredible view than with an equally delightful brew. Keep an eye our for more details coming soon!

This was a big year for our Brew with a View event as it was our fifth year hosting the beer festival at the resort. The weather was remarkable and the crowd accompanying was even better! There was a line eager to get into the event which started at 4pm for VIP ticket holders. Beverages were being poured for every preference including a variety of craft brews like IPA, amber ale and dark lager as well as some more unconventional brewfest choices like hard ciders, wines and spirits. Of course there were munchies available for purchasing in addition to delicious butlered hors d’oeuvres presented to guests.

The music and live broadcast performed by 104.9 The Hawk set the right vibes and attendees enjoyed games like Cornhole, giant Jenga and this year’s new offering, the Polish horseshoes competition. All proceeds raised from the competition benefited Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the winner received a Path Resorts gift card!

This year also featured another popular competition between the vendors, our Brew with a View Awards! Guests of the event got the opportunity to vote for their top three overall brewery/distillery picks:

We are already gearing up for our 6th annual Brew with a View event which will be held on July 11, 2020.
