City Steam Brewery Brewpubs • $$
942 Main St, Hartford

“I had never been to City Steam until recently but now I’m kicking myself for never going. The layout of the place is incredible and I can’t believe Hartford has something like this place. In top of that the dood and drinks are amazing. It’s our fault guys, we never should have never allowed this to happen to a place as cool as City Steam.“

Urban Lodge Brewing - Pratt Street Brewery •
88 Pratt St, Hartford

“Loud, happening brewery in downtown Hartford. Came late afternoon Saturday during March Madness and it was packed. Seating is first come, first served. Luckily a couple was leaving the bar area and we got to sit there. Beers were too bad and food was tasty. We enjoyed onion rings and fries, Philly steak sandwich, Buffalo chicken empanadas and a special sandwich on the menu. Beer and food is paid separately unless you're at the bar. We had a gift card giving us issues and luckily a bartender took care of it for us. Will check this place out again before a Yard Goats game this summer...“

Paddle Creek Beer Company Brewery • $$

“Really well crafted beers. The inside of the brewery is built and decorated to give you a warm, cozy feel. You will not feel like you're on Main St in EH. It made me feel like I was in a brewery in NH or ME. Worth the trip! Will definitely be back!“

East Hartford Brewing Brewery •
776 Tolland St, East Hartford - 4.59 miles

“Wow! What else can I say... this is a great brewery! Our friend introduced this spot to us and what a winner! If you're from East Hartford you may recognize their brews from Burnside like the famous Ten Penny Ale. They're back as East Hartford Brewery with some of their old favorites and more! I got a flight and this was the first time in a long time I liked every beer I tried. My favorites were the Penny Weiz and the Leafy Penny! The inside/outside seating area is so cozy and filled with a bunch of heaters for the chilly weather. What a cool vibe. Staff was awesome as well. And the best part? They're dog friendly!!! They also have a great lineup for food trucks. We'll definitely be back!“

Back East Brewing Company Brewery • $
1296 Blue Hills Ave, Bloomfield - 6.39 miles

“Awesome brewery.Great range of beer styles on tap and for what I was able to try, they were all great.What I appreciate most was the service. Bartenders were friendly and helpful. Not snobby at all and just down to earth service which I always truly appreciate in a craft brewery. They allow you to sample what you like before commiting which is getting a bit more rare these days.Grabbed a few 4 packs to bring home and if I'm back in the area I will for sure be making a stop again.Lastly, I did sample the restaurant by trying the animal fries and they seemed like a solid indication that the food would be good. Had to leave for a team dinner though so didn't try any actual dishes.“

Coles Road Brewing Brewery • $$
817 Farmington Ave, Berlin - 9.85 miles

“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.“

Still Hill Brewery and Tap Room Brewery • $
Shunpike Business Center, 1275 Cromwell Ave Building C Unit 9, Rocky Hill - 8.88 miles

“Still Hill Brewery is located amongst some industrial offices. It looks unassuming from the outside, just like the rest of the business in the area. But inside you'll be greeted with the most pleasant bartender and a nice variety of beers. Still Hill is a smaller brewery. It's got a variety of seating available inside as well as a few outside.When I went there was a band playing some 60s music. They were very good! Some people were dancing. I had the Fruitatious Sourpuss Blood Orange Pomegranate. This was refreshing and tart, a good sour. My friend had the HoneyCrisp cider, this one is very light and crisp, I didn't try this one, but the name and very light nature of this one, seem like that's the perfect name for it.They have a variety of games to play, we played Uno cards while the band played and we drank our beers.They don't offer any food at Still Hill, but you are welcome to bring your own.“

Connecticut Valley Brewing Company Brewery • $$
765 Sullivan Ave, South Windsor - 8.24 miles

“This place exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was quite friendly and relaxing. The fries with the dipping sauces were to die for. The IPA's were very solid and I heard the strawberry lemonade was top notch. My only complaint would be to have a milkshake IPA on the beer list but beggars can't be choosers. Overall, this place is top notch, especially when you have great company.“
