Craft Breweries near Norwalk

“Connecticut has many breweries, many of which are built in an old factory, have an outdoor space furnished in "industrial chic" that's family- and dog-friendly and with a parking spot for food trucks. Spacecat is no exception. I have old man tastes, so I ordered the rye red IPA. Loved it. I've had flights here before and loved them all. They do some good sours, too.“

“This place is absolutely incredible - the kombucha & the people. I arrived one Friday for a refill only to discover they'd closed early. I'd come a ways to get there so I called to confirm (since I was within business hours) but unfortunately they were closed & I received an apology for the inconvenience. I was bummed but figured I'd try again when I could. Yesterday (a Thursday) was that day, and unfortunately due to my own error, I fought through traffic far outside of my area only to find they were again, closed. I was visibly upset & a man who worked in the building (a true MVP) saw that. He reached out to the owner who authorized a great guy named Alex that was working in the back of the store to help me out. I truly couldn't be more appreciative of them both going above & beyond to assist me. The whole reason I kept returning is bc their product is so great. So many flavor profiles to chose from - if you've never tried kombucha or have had a bad experience in the past, this is the place to try. Couple great flavors with an amazing staff of friendly & knowledgable people - you won't be disappointed.“

“I do like their Ginger Beer, a lot. It has a nice spicy flavor that is easy to drag across the pallet. Non-alcoholic beverage and comes in a 12 ounce glass bottle with a twist top; also, I believe they now offer cans. I have only ever had the Extra and according to the website the Extra is the middle of the road in terms of ginger spice level. According to the label the product is non-GMO verified. Nice refreshing drink and is a winner in my book.“

“I was fortuitous to come here one evening as there was an open mic night. I ordered a few flights and sat at the bar, watching and patronizing the artists. It was a really fun evening. However, they did close surprisingly early. The kitchen also closed early. So my evening was cut short but I did enjoy being here.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The brew is delicious. Love that they let you try their selections before getting a pint. Large bar and awesome set up in an old industrial building. Very casual atmosphere. Lastly the crew behind behind the bar was outstanding. Super knowledgeable on their selections and very attentive. Only draw back to this place is that I live too far away to be a regular lol. Awesome bonus, they have a select menu of items from Blind Rhino for small dishes to grub on. Great place, can't wait to come back!“
