Craft Breweries near New Hartford

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I've been to Brewery Legitimus many times throughout the years, and it never disappointed me.

The brewery is spacious enough: the indoor space is separated into two rooms, which makes it easy to have a private event. There is a patio opened during warmer months, as well as several tables near the main entrance (a smaller patio). The place does not serve any food, but the food trucks are usually onsite. Also, the taproom, received an upgrade recently and now you can order cocktails from their bar.

The selection of beers is fine, although it is IPA-heavy. But you can also find several other styles on tap - Marzen, Kolsch, Ales, etc. The place not only serves beer flights of 4, but also sells 6oz drafts, so you can try more beers. I've had almost all the beers they sell during past visits (and refreshed them with new releases during the latest visit). The beers are not frequently rotated, so I only saw 6 new beers compared to my visit several months ago. The beers are always solid. It is safe to order any style and be sure that you will have the best quality. I'm not into IPAs, so from their selection I will definitely recommend their Barrel Aged bottles - Lord Dobson's (Imperial Stout) and Maple Girl (Belgian Tripel). Both of those have an immensely reach barrel taste.

This is definitely a good brewery to hang out with your friends and have a decent beer.“

“If you are looking to plan your next event - look no further! From the beginning I worked with Nils to plan the perfect 50th birthday party for my husband. Nils was always quick to respond to my many emails. Nils met with me prior to the party starting to make sure everything was as I wanted - it was! The servers Gavin & Kellen were AMAZING! They managed a group of 40 people like pros, and everyone was very happy! The venue was perfect for my husbands 50th birthday, and the prices were very reasonable. I would totally host another event here - IT WAS GREAT! Thank you Nils, Gavin, Kellen and to the many other staff members behind the scenes that helped pull off a great birthday party! Cheers!“
