A
ble Ebenezer Brewing Company
opened three years ago, and is thriving
among New Hampshire's burgeoning
craft brew industry. Co-founded by Army
buddies Carl Soderberg and Mike Frizzelle,
Able Ebenezer pumps out nearly 1,000 gallons
of beer per week.
Able Ebenezer is known for bold flavors –
like Burn the Ship IPA, made with smoked
malts, or Kilgore Porter, using locally sourced
coffee during the final 24 hours of fermenta-
tion, cold-brew style.
T
he largest manufacturing employer in
the state, BAE Systems Electronic
Systems is a division of BAE Systems
Inc., an aerospace and defense company with a
global presence.
BAE Systems ES is currently under a three-
year, $130-million contract with the U.S.
military to produce the APKWS (Advanced
Precision Kill Weapon System), a device which
turns an unguided rocket into a precision laser-
guided rocket.
Under high demand, BAE recently moved
production to a new facility in Hudson,
expecting to increase production of APKWS
units to 20,000 per year.
