9 Best Craft Breweries near Branford

Caius Farm Brewery Brewery • $$
101 N Branford Rd, Branford

“Caius farm brewery is a relatively new brewery and it's a nice addition to the beer scene. The venue is nice and modern and usually gets packed pretty fast, but there is also outdoor seating for the nice weather. I really enjoy all the light beers like the Pilsner and lagers. The beers are nice crisp and clean easily crushable for the hot weather. I also like how they are one of the only few breweries that adjust the foam level of the beer to how you like it. the IPAs here are not bad as well but I have had better. I like the nitrous out here bonus for popcorn. I would recommend this place and definitely be back.“

Thimble Island Brewing Company Brewery • $
16 Business Park Dr, Branford

“This is my favorite brewery. My best friend dragged me here and I feel like I owe him my life. The selection of sours, IPAs, and food here is just unbeatable. It’s almost an 8 hour drive for me to get here and knowing I’ll come to Thimble Island makes the whole drive worth it.“

Stony Creek Brewery Brewery • $$
5 Indian Neck Ave, Branford

“Awesome beer and awesome for hanging out! I've loved Big Cranky for years now but as a wedding photographer, having the chance to work at Stony Creek is cool, too. The laid-back vibe is great for sessions and they do very well at hosting weddings the production area and upstairs. Highly recommended for your wedding day or a portrait session!“

“Sour Diesel is without a doubt one of the best beers I've ever had! The facility (The Beeracks) is great. It was a good place to stop and have some Tasters! Great people and a Great Atmosphere!!! As someone who travels for a living Hoax has quickly become one of my favorite breweries in the country.“

Armada Brewing Brewery • $
190 River St, New Haven - 4.75 miles

“Excellence in a glass is the best way to describe this brewery. Armada has a wonderful lineup of brews like their well-balanced "Till Death" hibiscus lager, and the super smooth coffee infused "A Tale of Two Kings" golden stout. I highly recommend stopping here for a pint and 4-packs to go ?“

Skygazer Brewing Company Brewery • $$
341 State St, North Haven - 7.19 miles

“I first tried Skygazer watercolors at "Small State Great Beer" back in 2019 and was blown away by how awesome it was. Out of the entire festival, it stood out and was the best in my opinion. Since then I have developed a palate for sour beers, and it continues to be the best in the game for me. Every single sour we try from skygazer is just phenomenal. It just keeps getting better!“

Twelve Percent Beer Project Brewery • $$
341 State St, North Haven - 7.2 miles

“Spacious and clean space to hang out with friends, to get some work/studying done or to just dog watch! Came in around 11am on a weekend and it was pretty quiet, only a few tables were taken. Things picked up a bit later in the afternoon around 1pm but there was still plenty of space for big groups to grab tables/couches. Didn't get a chance to try the beer but the coffee was quality and the peanut butter brownie was sooo good!“

The Beeracks Brewery • $$
250 Bradley St, East Haven - 3.18 miles

“Great venue! Love the setup, lots of little nooks for conversation. There was a water dispenser out with cups which was great, I would love to see more bars that host live music have this. Good staff, and the entertainment was excellent. Will definitely return!“
