Hanging Hills Brewing Company

Openly discriminates against LGBTQ and non-whites. Has a history of doing it, easily verified thru google, ABC and NBC news coverage. Also, as far as microbreweries go, a hard pass. It's like some college frat boys bought Mr. Beer and never stopped. Building is nothing special, decor is similar. Attitude of employees is ever-present and not pleasant. Beer ranged from forgettable to outright bad (think Mr. Beer X-Mas gift, seriously).

Went there on a recommendation... the service was awful. I asked for a flight, since I was driving and wanted to try several of their beers without having to order a full pour of each. When I asked I was met with a heavy sigh and an eye roll. I’m sorry that pouting beer is such a task for you since the only job of the bartender at a brewery is to pour beer. And it was not busy at the time.

Ambiance is lacking too... not much to look at.

 

 

 

Sunday afternoon. Banjo band playing. Place is packed. Good service, had two beers, both solid of not spectacular. A little pricey imo. A nice space in an industrial area, big bar, a few high tops arranged around the band area. Not a great draft selection, with an ipa, dipa, pils, cider, pale lager. Lively atmosphere. I'd come back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A small craft brewery in an industrial area near Colt Park. They have a nice little tasting room with tables, tall chairs and a large bar area. The beer is surprisingly good and they offer a nice selection of styles. When the staff aren't crazy busy, they will take their time to describe the ingredients and brewing process that brings out particular flavors. A nice place to grab a paddle of beer and hang out with friends.

 

Bare-bones store front brewery with straight bar perpendicular to the entrance on the right that seats about 20, with a few table about the perimeter. A dozen beers on tap. Not much ambiance, but a nice view of Hartford.
