Stay Work Play is going on tour with our standout program Policy & Pints!

This statewide event series gathers young people in each region of New Hampshire to talk about the issues shaping their daily lives, the communities they call home, and what’s driving them to stay—or leave—the Granite State. All of it happens with neighbors in good conversation, at local haunts over your favorite beverage.

Expect lively and engaging facilitated discussions, focused on evaluating your ideas, exploring solutions to issues affecting your quality of life in New Hampshire, and avenues to plug in and push for progress, all while building a collective sense of community. With the shared goal of voicing barriers and boons as well as ideas to address them, we promote respectful and collaborative dialogue throughout the series.

Your participation continues even after the event! The outcomes from each stop on the series will serve to inform Stay Work Play’s advocacy efforts in the legislative session, educating our lawmakers on what young people are really up against and creating a network of supported and amplified YP voices from each region of the state.

We invite you to join us, in community, to address and discuss your ideas, hopes, and solutions.

Bonus: Be among the first to hear the biggest takeaways from our 2025 Quality of Life survey to learn what other young people are saying about life in the Granite State!

When: Wednesday, November 19th, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

Location: Harpoon - Queen City Center, 215 Canal Street, Manchester, NH 03101

About Harpoon - Queen City Center 

We’re honored to share our brews with friends across the country, but we’ve always been especially proud of our New England roots. There’s something about the craft beer community here – a shared pride, a passion for quality, and a deep local loyalty – that feels like home.

So when it came time to expand, we quickly looked to our New Hampshire neighbors. Following in the footsteps of our Boston and Windsor breweries, we knew Harpoon’s next home had to be rich in history, culture, and a passion for craft beer. And that’s exactly what we found in Manchester, New Hampshire!

From the historic mills and architecture, to the elite athletics and entertainment venues, to the thriving art scene and historic theatres, to the loads of outdoor adventures…we could go on and on and on! Long story short: Manchester felt like the perfect new home to Love Beer. Love Life.

Harpoon joined the development of Queens City Center located in the heart of downtown Manchester – a walkable, bikeable hub of creativity and community. Our newest location sits right next to the iconic former R.G. Sullivan Cigar Company building, one of the largest cigar manufacturers in the country from 1906 to 1963. Pretty cool, right? Our neighbors have some history, and we’re pulling up a chair and a beer.
