“The beer is delicious and the food is worth a trip by itself. We had a large group and got a bunch of different pizzas. They were all home runs. Same goes for the wings. Been dreaming of the pizza since I left!“
“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.“
“Always a wonderful experience at Back East! Between the most wonderful staff, delicious food and oh yeah, the ? beer. Everything hits the right spots at Back East. Plus they go above and beyond to donate to our annual golf tournament for veterans. There is never a shortage of great things to say!“
“What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Great bartender, cool layout, and tasty beer…look forward to coming back!“
“It’s a great place to gather people together.“
“I'm on a quest to visit as many breweries as I can. I visited Paddle Creek for the first time and the reason was sad as the brewery closes soon.
Nevertheless, I was pleased with my overall experience. The place is small and cozy, it has a wood cabin theme to it. It has one indoor space and a big patio. They serve beer flights. For this review I tried all available beers, and all of them were solid. Nothing astonishing, but just a good beer with a distinct taste. I particularly enjoyed their Brown Ale (He's a clown) and Kolsch (Lawn Racer) as the former boasted a strong tastes with notes of chocolate, and the latter was extremely refreshing and brewed just right for this style.
It is unfortunate that this place closes down, but hopefully it would be a new start for everyone involved.“
“My favorite spot to catch Premier League soccer matches! The owner is an Arsenal supporter, so Arsenal fans come out strong for matches. However, fans of all teams visit. They usually have 10 beers on tap. No good, but you can bring your own snacks.“
“Great spot to have a beer. Many quality offerings. No Filter IPA is consistently excellent. Have a number of different options for lower abv offerings, sours, lagers, and other varietals. The manager at the Bloomfield location is knowledgeable and friendly. The food is quite good as well! A must for happy hour or a meet-up occasion with colleagues or friends.“
“I updated my original rating to reflect the fantastic customer service regarding a recent issue of out of code cans inadvertently getting into the cooler. The owner made it right and they deserve 5 stars for their delicious beer and super friendly staff.“
“We finally made it!! What took us so long, I don’t know!! Awesome ?? service and I loved everything! Thank you for having the best vegan and vegetarian options around!!! See you ?!! I almost forgot the beer ? ??!!! I promise, I’m not the driver.“
“I have been there for the live musicians. Always great“

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. Around 2019 I came to Connecticut Valley Brewing Company and bought one of each beers they had. It ended up being about 4 dozens of delicious beer. So I planned this visit to the taproom only as a formality. However, the overall experience was a bit worse.
The place is big - it has a huge indoor space with multiple seating options, including couches. No separation, just one big room. Plus there is a big patio for warmer months. The went for a plane theme and decorated the room with it. It is a bit noisy inside when there are many people, but still manageable. The brewery has an excellent selection of beers of various styles. Since I tried every beer they had over the years of going to beer festivals where CTVBC is always present, I can say that their beers are amazing. Every style they produce is delicious. From the latest visits I would recommend Spiked Smoothie Strawberry Lemonade (Fruit Beer) and Camper's Maple Stout, as they just boast rich taste. You can also order beer flights, although the options are limited to 12 taps only.
There is a food served via a separate business which coexists in the same building - Birdhouse Coffee Shop. And this was a downer. I will leave a separate review for this business, as blaming the brewery for the quality of food is unfair. But this coexistence means, that you are now limited in food options and cannot bring your own or order from a food truck. So you're stuck with a very mediocre food and slow service.
Other problems I experienced were:
- Messing up my order. One bartender asked for beer numbers from the menu, while the other one asked for the names. The latter one messed up my position.
- By the end of Monday, which is not too busy of a day, restrooms lacked the paper towels.
Overall, the beers are great. The theme of the taproom is awesome. The service might have been better.“
“Friendly staff and great lineup of beers in the historic Colt Firearms factory. Great history and atmosphere.“
“Great place to get drinks before a UConn game! 2 floors lots of tvs to watch the games. Went a Saturday and all the college football games were on. The have beer and specialty drinks I got an apple of my pie, which is perfect for fall! For food we got something small grilled chicken and grilled cheese. Don’t forget to try the deviled eggs!“
“The beer is delicious and the food is worth a trip by itself. We had a large group and got a bunch of different pizzas. They were all home runs. Same goes for the wings. Been dreaming of the pizza since I left!“
