“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.“
“Awesome Beer! Super friendly staff!
Mark the head brewer and owner will make you feel right at home.
Played in the Inaugural Skee-Ball Tournament in the winter of 2025.
Great time. Well organized.
AND ON top of that- Relic has over 20 pinball machines. You’ll love the beer, the people and the pinball. Hooray for Relic Brewing it helped me get through the winter.“
“Great spot to vend Lucky Burrito Art Thank you for having us! Really friendly staff and atmosphere!“
“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!“
“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“
“These folks brew great beer. If you need more than that you’re not a beer lover. If they were surrounded by penguins alone on an island Teriffed by trump 200% I’d find them and buy their trump taxes beer. If your phone says they are in Cromwell your smart phone is stupid.“
“I have been there for the live musicians. Always great“
“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I met Counter Weight numerous times during beer festivals, but never understood their appeal to the public. It was until I visited the brewery.
First things first, the brewery occupies a big building and has an enormous space. The first floor is sectioned into 3 rooms, allowing for some privacy should you plan any events. There's also a patio, where the majority during our visit were the dog owners, and a 21+ game zone with some field games. They also have space on the second floor, but I did not go there. The brewery partnered with Ritual Pizza as their kitchen. We ordered a pizza and chicken tenders, and everything was delicious. The whole place was packed on Saturday evening.
Now, for the beers. This brewery specializes in 2 directions: traditional European beers and IPAs. As I'm not a big fan of IPAs, I was focused on the European styles during my visit. You cannot order beer flights here, but they can provide a short pour (10oz) of any beer with a limit of one short pour at a time. I tried many of Counter Weight beers before, but still their lineup was almost completely new to me, so my guess is that the beers are rotated often. I was able to try 5 beers during my visit. My absolute favorite was Grodziskie - a traditional 3.5% smoked wheat beer, which is incredibly hard to find in CT. But in general, I loved everything I had - Vienna Lager was rich in taste, Ein Helles was a direct hit in the style, and so on.
I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the beers produced here. If you're a fan of European beers, this should be a stop on your journey.“
“Drew and his Concentric Brewing team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. I would highly suggest hosting an event at the brewery if you get the chance. We came with 30 women for a “non-traditional” baby shower including doing a crafting activity. Drew was incredibly easy to work with along the way. The catering from Graze was delicious and the slider bar was a fun element to the meal that our guests loved. The bartenders were super friendly and made us feel welcome and at home. The locals at the bar and at lunch seemed genuinely amused and were very friendly. We loved supporting this local business and hope to host another event at the brewery sometime!“
“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!!!“
“The Urban Lodge is in a prime location in downtown Hartford. It is within walking distance of Dunkin Donuts park, Hartford Stage, Union Station and the Connecticut River waterfront.
Very good brews and bar food, served by friendly and efficient servers.
What makes this a problematic choice is the the noise level. When crowded, it is difficult to have a conversation.
If you chose to go, chose a non peak time. When the decibel level is normal,it is a wonderful culinary and social experience“
