About The New Cambridge Project

The New Cambridge Project is a friendly and eclectic brewery collective located in Bristol, Connecticut. Opened in May 2024, it is housed in the historic New Departure factory building, which previously was home to Firefly Hollow Brewing Company. The brewery was founded by four partners who met through the Connecticut craft beer scene and decided to create a space that offers a variety of beers from multiple brewers, including their own, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The brewery features a big patio and a comfortable indoor space with multiple seating options, including a couch. They serve a limited menu of basic pizzas, and during warmer months, food trucks often visit.

The brewery is known for its great beer selection and welcoming atmosphere. Customers can enjoy a flight of four beers or try all the available taps, which include favorites like NCP Not so dark secrets (white stout) and Skeleton Ki Thai Tea porter. They also serve stronger drinks, cocktails, and wines. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, often sharing stories about brewing and helping customers choose beers based on their preferences. Visitors often remark on the Vibes, describing the place as one of the most welcoming breweries in the area where conversations flow easily.

Special events such as Oktoberfest celebrations feature German-inspired lagers, Bavarian pretzels, and bratwurst sandwiches, adding to the lively atmosphere. The brewery also hosts brands like Firefly Hollow and Boondoggle Beers, which have found a new home at NCP. Overall, The New Cambridge Project offers a laid-back environment, excellent beers, and friendly service, making it a highly recommended spot for craft beer enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

The Manager is super friendly, just awesome and an outgoing character, loved the beer and the passion! ❤️‍🔥

The New Cambridge Project’s taproom is a great place in the heart of Bristol for adults to socialize. NCP has exceeded my expectations the past couple of months during their soft opening. The craft beer, staff, decor and ambience are a good “welcome back home” for many of us Firefly Hollow regulars. I’m glad I joined their mug club and encourage other beer drinkers to do so, too. Don’t miss NCP’s grand opening the weekend of May 3-5.
