Housatonic River Brewing Company

Nice set up. Good service. Solid beer.

 

 

 

 

Super cool atmosphere, lots of rustic wood and a huge stone fireplace with a band in the corner. There is a huge outdoor beer garden that I look forward to visiting in the spring but for now the tap room works well. Very crowded but service was pretty quick. I was here when they first opened in September and it was a little bumpy but seems like a well oiled machine now.

I tried the Amarillo Sky DIPA and it was very solid with good juicy NE IPA style coming through. I also had the Shadow of Stout and must say, it was one of the best stouts I've had in a long time. That was it for tonight but I will be back!

 

I was there pretty early during there soft opening, but before long there was quite a crowd. Nice facility with a 12 foot service bar, a dozen tables inside, and many more outside, some under cover of a large awning. 7 beers on tap, the three I had were solid. Service was a bit slow as everyone was learning the ropes. Big crowd and many people were coming and going. Seemed like a very promising start.
