8 Best Craft Breweries near Branford

“One of the best local breweries in CT, great beer, good selection of rotating food trucks, live music and AWESOME staff! My wife and I love that they are dog friendly since we bring our corgi and can enjoy everything Caius has to offer. Have always had a great experience here and will be going back regularly 🍻“

“We visited for the first time yesterday and the service and food was fantastic! As old Saybrook residents we think this is a fantastic business to bring to the town. There was a fantastic selection of drinks and we can’t wait to come back again soon!“

“I had an amazing opportunity to cater a wedding of two great friends at The Brewery. I don't have enough great things to say about the place. The building and its grounds are amazing, the brewery its self is gorgeous. Attention to detail is above par in all aspects. The Brewery room and tap room one of the best i've seen. The upstairs in sophisticated and approachable. The husband and wife owners are wonderful and they way they attend to their guests and bar none. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed and their beer is AWESOME“

“Super event space, awesome staffers.“

“Great spot to grab some excellent beer from a variety of onsite brewers. Great model to help smaller brewers get things started, but more so a really fun taproom and biergarten. Nice open space with comfortable couches and bar seating. A few tables inside as well but a ton of seating on a deck and at patio tables inside the parking lot. Hard to say what they specialize in since the breweries and styles change, but my favorites are hazy IPAs and imperial stouts, and they are amazing here from Abomination to Evil Twin to False Hope to Tox to Fat Orange Cat. Midweek pizza is available and it’s delicious. Weekends bring a food truck which as always can be hit or miss.“

“Love love love this place. I have spent so many hours hanging out here. In the morning it’s so fun to come sit on the couch and read a book — the coffee is delicious! And the coffee menu is really cool and fun. Any latte here is a win. And Hanna is the most incredible and friendliest barista!! It’s also a really fun vibe in the afternoon to come for a beer and hangs. They have vegetarian options for food usually and a great food truck outside. I am all about aesthetic and this place crosses all the t’s and dots all the i’s. My new go-to spot!!“

“I had Sour Diesel at a bar in Glastonbury and it was so good that I drove to New Haven to go to the brewery! The facility (The Beeracks) was a great place to sit and have some tasters! The atomosphere people, and building were great!!!“

“Never been to the brewery but if it is as good as the beer I just randomly bought from them, I can only assume it is amazing. Not sure how long they've been around but the beer has the taste of decades of experience. Keep up the good work and send more stuff to Michigan“
