11 Best Craft Breweries near Branford

“The beer is incredible…best I’ve ever had. The food trucks are OK most of the time, depending on what you like. The in house soft pretzels are terrible and don’t align with the caliber of beer that is offered. There are way better options.“

“Such a fun spot for a summer day! Great outdoor seating, live music, delicious food, and beautiful waterfront views. We loved the wood-fired pizza, lobster roll, poke bowl, and buffalo mac & cheese. Micro Creamery also has a food truck stationed there for those with a sweet tooth!

The Paddle Pub Cruise was the perfect addition. You don’t even have to paddle, you can just sit back and enjoy the ride if you prefer. It was super relaxing, scenic, and so much fun! You can also bring any food or beverages purchased at the brewery on board, and either queue up your own playlist or let the crew take charge of the aux. Definitely worth checking out!“

“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“

“Five stars all around ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The brunchy colada is AMAZING. The bartender tonight recommended it to us, he had just ordered it. I only got 1 can to take home, I'm not a huge beer fan (we like ciders more) and I like radlers, and this is both of those combined in a sour, with juice. It's like a summer brunch in a can. Now i need to find where it's sold....“

“I like the concept of Twelve Percent and how they brew beer for some of the smaller companies such as Abomination Brewing, Skygazer Brewing, Fat Cat Orange Brewing, Front Porch Brewing, Evil Twin Brewing. I had the Abomination (Winter Harvester, 6.0% abv) which was maroon colored and the Evil Twin (Blue Raspberry, 6.0% av) which was green colored (surprisingly). I enjoyed the Evil Twin more than the Winter Harvester, although both were good. The patio is the most spacious I have ever seen at a brewery with approximately 20 tables available for seating. Nice open concept brewery with plenty of seating indoors as well.“

“Super event space, awesome staffers.“

“I’ve been drinking beer for a long time. I don’t wanna really tell you how long, I’m 75 years old. And have tried many types. I like porters I like IPAs I like stouts. But, baby kittens has to rank up there. It’s probably one of the best or the best beer I’ve ever had. Thanks, Gene.“

“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“
