This brewery has been killing it with solid beers since their soft opening. Grand opening this weekend and their new offerings did not disappoint. I enjoyed a varied selections from IPAs, goses, table beer, and stouts. Deckside IPA was very good. Enjoyed the spruce gose and event the table beer was fantastic.
Very excited for the future of this place. I went the first day of the soft opening and the transformation between then and now has been phenomenal. The place looks amazing and is a great spot to hang out. Most importantly though the beers are really good, as you mentioned. I grabbed a crowler of Yup/Nope their citra dry hopped DIPA on Friday and it was excellent. I also actually just purchased a house fairly close by so it's fixing to become a regular stop for me.
The beer was pretty good. The inside of the place was real cool looking, but difficult to find. More signs out front might help.
The table beer was solid. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I thought several of their other offerings were decent too. They had a huge space for tasting and hanging out. Bigger than most other local CT breweries.
I picked up a four pack. I work right in the area and for some stupid reason have been putting this place off. Stopped by today for the first time and did a flight. Their stouts are top notch. I walked out with two crowlers of roast and a crowler of the doublebock. Roast is a top notch coffee stout. Sure as hell blows the coffee stout that I had at new park last weekend out of the water. I did a taster of the baltic porter which was really good. Need to pick up a crowler of that soon. The doublebock was impressive as hell, not a style that I'm too familiar with but perfect on a day like today. Had a glass of an ipa called ragweed, that was damn tasty. Tried a apa which I really enjoyed. My buddy who had been there a few times pointed out that they use an interesting malt bill. I really enjoy it. This place is doing something different and nothing that I tried was even mediocre. I'll be back (or bock?). Seriously, this place if flying under the radar. My only gripe is the crowlers. Its nice if you stop by on a whim and don't have glass or have to worry if the glass that you keep in the car is starting to smell a little ripe despite how many times you've washed it out with hot ass water. Its a large vessel that they're not backfilling with co2 that you obviously can't reseal. Still my can spit at me, which surprised me for a stout.
Taproom is really nice! I live about 25 minutes away and stopped in over the summer with the wife. We really enjoyed it. Awesome spot to hangout
