Good beer. Been there multiple times. Bought Groupon for tasting and glass, that expired in one week, got there and they would not honor it. Said we should look at expiration date which said 11th. Still no go. Had flight and few beers but did not fill growler and unlikely we will return.

Came to see the band and have a couple beers. Cute little place with a decent taproom selection. You can definitely tell the primary focus is the making of beer. They have no food and nothing non-alcoholic. You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic choices. Just need to know this when you go. They do occasionally have food trucks and Wednesdays is taco trivia.

This brewery is situated in the back of a factory. The aesthetics are very industrial, and it gives a very finished vibe. We went to Firefly Hollow Brewery because one of my friends is gluten intolerant. We know that Black Rock Social House in Bridgeport serves their beer because they are a gluten-free establishment. We grabbed a Groupon a while back to give it a try. When we got there, it was a really cute spot. You can see the brewing area through the window near the bar. I'm not sure if they do tours, but it is a possibility. This is also a dog friendly establishment, which makes the experience that much better. We wanted to confirm with the bartender that the beer is gluten free and she confirmed that it is all gluten REMOVED. I am unsure about the level of sensitivity for removed versus free, but my friend was able to enjoy them all with no issues. If you are just drinking it without knowing that it is gluten free you would not be able to tell. We got a couple flights and a refill on the ones we liked. My favorites were the Lust-Pineapple and the Red Lantern Irish Red. The rest of my party really liked the Naughty List. This is definitely a spot we're going to be returning to.

First time here - a Groupon brought us here and we loved it. Great atmosphere and excellent beer. The live music was wonderful (Alex Rencurral) - high school kids who just jammed their hearts out and were super impressive. The food truck was Spot On Tacos and I’m not exaggerating when I say they were the best tacos I’ve ever had. Glad we drove the distance to try this place out - we will be back!!!

It can be a bit confusing finding this spot. Google maps will bring you to the back of the building but you will have to go to the front and when you drive down the alleyway you will see the brewery. Plenty of parking space. Inside is spacious, clean and the service was really good. Great draft selection. I’d recommend coming to this spot!

We went right when they opened at noon on a Sunday and it was def getting busy when we weee leaving! I am not an IPA person and they had plenty of choices to satisfy me. The Naughty List winter warmer was very, very good and def a nice holiday beer. The red lantern Irish red ale was about average to me, but I loved the sour with cherries and the Lust Pineapple (sour IPA). The naughty list was 10% ABV so I couldn't drink all too much more, but there were a few more I had wanted to try. The staff were very friendly, even stopping by our table a few times. Musicians were coming during our time there and the inside is cute with wooden tables and chairs, firefly hollow brewing coasters on all the tables. The outside seemed chill although it was too cold to be outside. Def plan on going back!

Beers are solid. Sometimes a little muddled flavors, but overall very good. Some are VERY good. I was partial to the Irish red and the Oktoberfest. Get a sampler (or two) and find what works. the surrounding location itself is ok. But the setting of where youll be is very cozy, relaxing, and comfortable. I mean it's a brewery! I think the bigger draw than inside is a huge concrete/Loading dock patio. At the time we went, there was a political party with ~50 ppl along with the 15 there on their own and the bartender was SWAMPED 50% of the time. Took forever to initially get a drink, but were well attended to after. just had to schedule when we went back up.

The service was fantastic and the brews were top notch!

Had two flights while I was here. Liked everything except the two New England IPAs I tried (to be fair not my favorite style). My brother who is not a beer drinker loved the Raspberry Lemonade tart ale, and I agree it was amazing. Would definitely stop here again next time I'm in CT.

Great brewery. Lots of variety. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice taproom and patio. It's bring your own food. And the trivia night was a lot of fun.

Great brewery to hang out and have some custom brews at. No food, but you can bring your own. Occasional food trucks. Dog friendly.

I felt like my buddies were running this joint. So comfortable, engaging staff, delectable beers that reflect the terroir of CT. Sat down, sipped the brews and just completely chilled.
