2025 Best Practices Overall Winner
NEW HAMPSHIRE by KYLE SWARTZ
Our 2025 Best Practices Overall Winner is the New Hampshire Liquor Commission. StateWays Magazine recognizes the NHLC for the depth of excellence the organization displays across a number of popular, modern, and public safety initiatives.
The NHLC was founded in 1934. More than 90 years later, the commission is known and celebrated for affordable prices, excellent stores and best-in-class allocated whiskey programs. Anyone in New England who lives near or travels through the borders of New Hampshire often makes a pitstop at one of the 67 NH Liquor & Wine Outlets operated by the commission. More than half of sales in these stores come from outof-state customers.
