4 Best Craft Breweries near Winsted

“Parking: Fine, more in the back of the building / Dog Friendly: Yes, very.They have a k9 menu for the patio / Outdoor dining: Yes, full service picnic tables/ The food was honestly fantastic and I didn't expect it to be so good. It is the best food I've had in Winsted or the surrounding area, by far. They were very accomodating to my dog. Service was fast. They have you start a tab and slide your card from the get and you just close out when you're done. It was a really excellent experience.“

“Always have a great time!!“

“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.“

“Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The building is gorgeous- ask for a tour, they will gladly accommodate. This is a wonderful place and space for functions. Always a good time, great beer varieties and wine.“
