Back East Brewery & Kitchen Brewery • $
1296 Blue Hills Ave, Bloomfield - 5.68 miles

“Great find and close enough to the airport you can visit before an evening flight.
All beers were very good, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Choice of beer was also great with some lesser spotted styles about too.
Food was decent - fresh and tasty although the tacos I had could have done with some more depth to the flavour. The animal fries were addictive; a must try!

Overall I’d highly recommend a visit!“

Problem Solved Brewing Company Brewery •
2 N Rd #4, East Windsor - 2.18 miles

“I'm on a quest of visiting CT breweries. I visited Problem Solved several times and ready to leave a review. The place is separated into two rooms : the main one and the Game Room which was closed during all of my visits. They have events onsite to spice things up, eg Trivias on Thursdays. No kitchen, so only snacks are available, but they have menus of nearby restaurants. I like the aesthetics of the place since they have a lot of engineering diagrams of how common things work.

As for the beers, they are just fine. You can order a flight of 4 beers to try them. The brewery is really IPA heavy, which is not my thing, but they have several other options. My favorites were Ground Fault (ESB) and Rational Root (stout). IPAs were just fine, but your mileage may vary.“

East Hartford Brewing Brewery •
776 Tolland St, East Hartford - 9.89 miles

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I've been to East Hartford Brewing in December 2023, but decided to pay another visit.

This is a small brewery. It is hard to notice from the road, so pay attention to your map. There are two parking lots available, the closest one is pretty small. No food is sold inside. They have a patio for warmer months and a separate building that only works during warmer months, but I didn't have a chance to visit those. The main brewery space is freezing, it was not insulated well.

The beers here are great. There are multiple styles available: scotch ale, lager, sour, IPA and so on. Generally, one beer per style. The beers are really good. Between the visits, I tried all the beers they have except seasonals. My favorite is Amazing Grace (Barrel aged scotch ale). The beers were available in beer flights of four before, but not during my last visit.

This is an awesome place to visit for any craft beer enthusiast and it is worth a separate trip. I would only suggest going here during the warmer weather.“

2nd Bridge Brewing Company Brewery • $$
642 Hilliard St, Manchester - 10.78 miles

“I’ve been going to 2nd Bridge for a few years now and it’s my favorite spot in central CT by far. Not only are the beers delicious, but it’s truly a “Cheers” environment where everyone not only knows your name but also every story you’ve shared before. I highly recommend this pub to anyone who wants a cozy spot that has excellent libations and the finest array of football around.“
