📰 News we're reading

• The Biggest Beer-Drinking State In America Is Nestled In New England (thedailymeal.com) — New Hampshire tops the nation in per-person beer consumption, and Merrimack once played a big role thanks to the Anheuser-Busch plant that served as both a major employer and tourist stop until early 2026. The piece links the state's high beer numbers to its many craft breweries and state liquor stores, and notes that locals often reach for Bud Light while also supporting standout spots like Portsmouth Brewery.
