Bear Hands Brewing Company

Nice stop with many styles of beer available.

Had my wedding rehearsal party here. They did a wonderful job and were so accommodating. Loved the food and drinks, couldn’t recommend this place more.

We had my grandaughter Luca’s first Birthday party at Bear Hands, what a great experience and job the owner Kayla and all her staff provided!
Great food , service and atmosphere! Top Notch! Thank you Kayla and staff!!!

Decided to check out this place after walking by it on our way to somewhere else. Ordered a flight and sat outside. The staff was very nice and helpful. Even after we went outside they came by frequently to ask if we needed anything.

Great little brewery on a cool little Main Street. The bartender was helpful and knew a lot about the beers. She also didn’t try to rush us out as she was closing down on a Sunday evening. If you’re driving up or down the 395 corridor a side trip to Putnam Main Street is highly recommended.

This was the second time I've visited and it was absolutely amazing! The food is top notch every time. The staff is always friendly and goes above and beyond to make a great experience. Then, the establishment itself is extremely clean but warm and welcoming and the decor throughout makes it easily a memorable experience!
The bathroom sign... I couldn't help but get a photo which resulted in a field trip for everyone to see! Excellent

Great beer ! Very smooth , delicious. Give them a visit and tell them I sent you. ?

Nice place. Food is a bit pricey, but also tasty. Beers were delicious and the atmosphere is nice.

Bear Hands is for sure my favorite brewery. The service is excellent, the food is excellent and most of all their beer is excellent! They have a way with sour ales that doesn’t compare to any other brewery! In addition to beers they also have a great selection of liquors (whiskey, scotch, vodka), and rotating martini flights!

Quiet today as the lower level was closed for a private party. We tried a flight with a couple of sours, a coconut stout and an IPA. The only one we didn’t like was the stout. Staff is friendly. Worth a try if you’re in the area.

Absolutely love coming for trivia. I enjoy trying different beers. The strawberry shortcake last summer was the best.
However the food truly is not good and needs a revamp. The pretzel and beer cheese is good, but I don’t want it every single week. The mac n cheese has no flavor. The nachos are very lackluster. The pizza is ok, not great nor bad, but again, every week it’s not what I want. I know I have heard this same critique from many people who play trivia weekly. I understand keeping costs low and not having an overwhelming number of options but how about something as simple as fries? Cheesy tots? Garlic bread and marinara? Sliders? Hand held foods that are fun to eat and play trivia. I think patrons would be thrilled if this could happen.

Stopped by for a quick drink. The beers were awesome! I had the drunken leprechaun and loved it! Had ordered food that took long but the bartender was wicked nice and let us know their downstairs was packed because trivia, so we got it to go and they were so good!

My favorite brewery of all time. They have something for everyone whether it’s beer OR food selection, constantly rotating stuff onto their menu to stay exciting. The atmosphere can’t be compared to in the best of ways, warm welcome and the coziest place to sip and chat with friends. They have several events that are all inclusive and always decorate perfectly for every holiday/season. I love grabbing a beer and sitting outside in the warmer months, and in the winter months I love taking the couch in their downstairs speakeasy bar. The staff couldn’t be more personable, and you can tell the owners take pride in the space they’ve created. I can’t wait to show more people this amazing spot!!

Good beer and good food. Enjoyed my visit.
