13 Best Craft Breweries near Cheshire

“On Thursday, 🍻SBC🍻 enjoyed a great time at Cheshire Craft Brewing in Cheshire, CT. We were joined by 3 very good brewery friends and we talked the time away as we sipped a variety of brews. We had been toCCB about a year ago and had been wanting to get back. It is friendly, cozy, and has great beers! Joy began with Orangey Sky, a Kolsch Style Ale, and ended with The Shire, a Chocolate Stout. I had When U Wish, an Irish Red Ale, followed by RAMber, a Roasted Amber Ale. Both of us gave thumbs up to our choices. 🍻SeniorBeerChat🍻 highly recommends Cheshire Craft Brewing…try it…you’ll like it!“

“Amazing beers, but I wish they would make more double ipa hazies and maybe some triples. The one thing that went downhill when they moved is experimentation. They don't experiment nearly as much as they did in Hamden. Also the main floor needs some activities, there's not much to do. The upstairs has some games but it's always rented out. Can you guys get a pool table or something?“

“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!!“

“Great new brewery in town. I didn’t know Transcend existed until I stumbled upon it on a web search. The space is really cool. Came here on my Bday and they have beers like IPA’s, lagers, and fruit beers. Would be a great spot for a party rental (there’s an additional large room for that). I didn't try their food but I hear good things about their pizza, wings, and sandwiches. Also family friendly with a kids menu and some games to use. Outdoor patio too. Recommended.“

“Definitely an awesome beer bar. They seem to always have a nice selection of rotating beers from various breweries. Unfortunately when we last visited they were out of what their website says so definitely call ahead if you’re traveling just to try a certain beer. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices were good and the establishment was clean. Overall if you love beer definitely check them out.“

“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....“

“Great spot to vend Lucky Burrito Art Thank you for having us! Really friendly staff and atmosphere!“

“A Hidden Gem! 🍻Coles Road Brewing I recently discovered this amazing brewery and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with Sean. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide range of styles to suit every palate. I especially loved No Straws Required-Raspberry ❤️ The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend a beer based on your preferences. If you're a beer lover in the Berlin/Kensington Area , you definitely need to check out Coles Road Brewing“

“First time there and we love the vibes. The folks that work there were so kind and welcoming.“

“Feels like you’re hanging out at your best friend’s house.“

“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“

“I just got married at Kinsmen Brewing and wow! The food, the space, the stage, the decor....It was an absolute pleasure working with Michele. Everyone was so nice and the day was executed perfectly. People walked out of there saying it was the best wedding they ever been to. I'm so glad I chose Kinsmen!!!“

“Love the ciders every time I come here. And dog friendly too! Def my favorite ciders!!“
