14 Best Craft Breweries near Plainville

“Hosted a small gathering here and everything was amazing! Reserving tables was quick and easy, and we were able to set up decorations/bring in our own food. Great selection of beers, cocktails, and liquor - and great staff too! Recommend this spot to enjoy a beer, or host a party!“

“Great atmosphere! Came for pre-turkey day trivia which also was a blanket drive-- good cause! We like ciders and sours so did a flight with Sucker Punch'd and Scorpion Bowl being our favorites! Service was fast, friendly and helpful (the keg of scorpion kicking with my pour so they have me another of my choice, which was awesome). Would def stop in again!“

“There are limited hours but worth the visit. The brewer/owner takes real pride in their beer and lets you sample the product and then order individual cans. All the beers are good but there are some that really fit my palate and I was able order a custom amount of cans. I’ll be back and I really appreciate this unique brewery with really really good unique beers. This place is about passionate beers rather than just making sales.“

“What a cool spot!! Slightly difficult to spot, don't overlook this really special spot!! The owners are on site and welcoming to all that stop by. There is a self serve beer, wine and cider wall - seriously!! The charge is by the ounce, so try a taste and see what you like! The system includes getting a personalized card that allows you to "self serve" their amazing brews. The food is also super - I tried one of the flat breads and wasn't disappointed. They were accommodating to a group of about 12 visiting - reserved some tables pushed together for our use and gave us great service. Yes! They did separate checks for everyone because you order using a QR code and pay on the app. They then deliver it to you at the table! Thank you!“

“Different type of brewery. 1. Very casual set up with tables & couches. 2. Nice but not fancy. 3. Beer was excellent. 4. But the best thing (at least for me) is they allow dogs. Awesome. There were 5 dogs there.They have food but it’s limited & the menu changes weekly. The kitchen is located across from the brewery.In addition there is a bakery, a barkey (for the dogs) & several other small stores.Going back soon…………with my dog.“

“A brewery, in my parochial hometown? It's more likely than you think. In fact, we have two now, but Counterweight is more crowded than most beehives, so relax and go to the calmer, quieter, smaller brewery. Nestled in a little plaza after Richard Chevrolet and Copeland Auto, Cheshire Craft is a nano-brewery with the tanks on full display right after you walk in. I've tried everything on their menu (at the moment) and I've never had a bad beer here. There's usually a food truck out back, too. I always stop here when I'm visiting family, and you should stop here, too.“

“This is a nice place to spend your time. Beer variety is great: you can find IPAs, Kellerbier, Ales and a stout. All the beers I tried very decent, although I can specifically recommend their Imperial Stout - Mashacre - which tastes exactly like your morning cup of coffee (but boozy). IPAs are juicy and extremely smooth. Weerder series was juicy and full of berry flavor as well.The kitchen is fine, we bought Buffalo Chicken pizza and Garlic Parm pretzel and enjoyed them. The place is located on the second floor, but they have an elevator available. It has one big room with a separate outdoor patio for warmer months.Overall, I liked this brewery. I had their beers in bars many times, and their taproom did not disappoint.“

“Their beers are excellent. They have a six oz option so we tried several and liked all of them. They have staff that serve you at your table so you don't need to go to the bar. Everyone we spoke with there was friendly and knowledgeable about their beer. It is near the train station but you can only see the bottom of the trains from inside the brewery. They close at 8 pm, I hope they consider extending their hours.“

“We just had our baby shower at Counter Weight this past weekend and had an amazing time! The venue is beautiful and the staff was amazing! We worked with Nick to plan our event in the upstairs beer hall and even though we completely changed our contract the week of the event, Nick was super accommodating! The beer is amazing and they also have amazing non-alcoholic options. Thank you for helping us host a baby shower to remember forever!“

“We hosted our friend’s Celebration of Life at WeHa. Cody was flexible with us about the date/timing of the party as it coincided with an already pre-planned event. Additionally, he was very responsive to our many emails! The venue was beautiful, and it was a great location to get 100 people together to raise a glass to our live who passed.“

“I went Friday, Feb 16th. It was busy as there was karaoke. One man was working. He did amazing. He kept everyone served and was just an awesome man all around. Very impressed not only with him but this brewery. I'll definitely be making my way back sometime.“

“Don't sleep on this place; Hopmeadow's beers are incredible and always true to style. Their staff is helpful & knowledgeable and truly family-owned & run which is rare these days. The place is gorgeous as well- so many personal touches and handmade art. Perfect chill spot for dates. They have lots of long tables so they're great for group hangs too. Go!!“

“Awesome brewery with photographic charm and great beer! I'm a wedding photographer and one of my couples specifically wanted Kinsmen for their engagement session. They arranged it and when we showed up, the staff welcomed us with open arms. We had a great time exploring the brewery and making awesome photos. You we had to have some beer before we left; it was delightful. I highly recommend Kinsmen Brewing!“
