Loved their West Coast IPA. It's my favorite style of the IPA family. Enfield/Hazardville location was pretty cool.

Awesome place! The watermelon wine slushies were great and the live music never disappoints!

When this place first opened I was hoping they would become our go-to brewery as its only a couple miles from our house. That clearly did not happen. It's some of the worst beer I've ever had. With all the breweries to choose from I don't understand how this one is still in business.

Powder Hollow Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Enfield, Connecticut in November 2014. It was founded by Michael McManus. He graduated from Vermont Technical College with a degree in construction engineering and soon began working for a large commercial contracting company. Since his teenage years, McManus had dreamed of opening his own company. Home brewing had been a hobby of his since he was 19. Eventually McManus joined forces with head brewer Lance Boylan to open his own brewery. A circa-1929 building in the Hazardville section of Enfield was obtained to house the new brewery and taproom. The property was once home to the Hazard Powder Company. The company (and the neighborhood) were named for Colonel Augustus George Hazard. They were one of the largest producers of gunpowder throughout the 19th century (producing 40% of the Union Army's supply during the Civil War). The company closed down in 1913 after a major gunpowder explosion. McManus named his new brewery "Powder Hollow" as a tribute to the history of Hazardville. A secondary taproom opened in downtown Middletown in November 2019 but closed this past March due to the effects of the pandemic. Another taproom opened at the Yankee Candle Village in South Deerfield, MA in September 2020 and continues to do well. I first visited Powder Hollow in 2015 when they were still fairly new. I remember really liking the Civil War decor around the taproom. Recently the brewery invited me back to taste some of their newer brews that have debuted in the past year. There have been some changes since my last visit. In 2018, McManus' sister Michele McAuliffe and her husband Mark opened R Dee Winery right next door to the brewery. They removed the wall separating the two businesses so that now it is one larger taproom. During my visit, I was helped out by the brewery's Marketing & Events Manager Kenzie. She was very helpful and discussed the different brews that I would be sampling. Some of the offerings I sampled included their Honey Brown Ale, "Spring Ahead" Pale Ale, "Josie's Pale Ale", New England DIPA, "Lift Your Kilt" (Scottish Ale), New England Citra IPA, "Bayonet Blonde", and West Coast Style IPA. The "Spring Ahead" and the Citra IPA were my two favorites. I purchased some cans of the latter to take home. I would have liked to sample some of the wines at R Dee as well, but they were closed during my visit. Just another reason to come back. I enjoyed my visit to Powder Hollow as well as the history lesson. I look forward to returning!

Relaxed spot with a brewery and winery sharing the space. Beers include IPAs, a very good honey brown ale, some sours and others. A local restaurant has a useful kiosk to order delivery. Middle of the road by CT standards but worth a stop.

We advise that you take on a new routine as this is something that we plan on doing in the Summer of 2023. We'll order and pick up from Joanna's Restaurant in Somers Ct this one pizza, the garlic butter, tomato and basil {we are so hooked on it) and head to PHB for their beers. This is only a 3 minute, 1.8 drive. We'll sit outdoors, enjoy the day and know that the 40 minute drive from our home for both the beer and pizza is well worth it.

Choice of Beer or wine. And for $11 you can try out four different kinds of beers before you buy a pint really good atmosphere is great little out of the way the quiet location.
Been great during prior visits. Great again. Wine is not at the same level as the beer quite yet.

Where can I start? Beer is not good, but what is worse? The way they treat people. I am not garbage for them to treat me like I am. I even picked up the glasses from our outside table so they didn't have to. When I brought them to the bar area the woman looked at me like I had done something wrong, took the glasses from my hand disgracefuly, made a humf sound and turned around to give me her back. No thanks, nothing. Will never go back. Beer is not good and the treatment is worse...forget it.
