Small, local brewery with a lot to offer. Back East has really started to make their and I am loving it! My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday around 1 pm. Our visit was the first for both of us. I knew what to expect in terms of the size of the brewery and their offerings via my research. We arrived a little before a tour was scheduled to start. We were able to purchase our tasting glasses and grab a couple of samples in the meantime. After hanging out in the show room for a brief prior, we were summoned to join the tour. The owner of the brewery happened to give us the tour, which was fantastic. He walked us through the tour from start to finish. He was very thorough in his explanation of the process of how beer is brewed and canned at their facility. I am a bit of a beer geek myself and was more interested in their canning process more than anything else. If it was my first time in a brewery and I knew nothing about beer, I would walk out of this tour knowing the basics and beyond. I loved it! The unlimited samples were another plus to our visit. Some breweries limit the amount of samples or do not offer them at all. Back East is doing something right. The variety of their beers is becoming more and more as time goes on. I am looking forward to tasting more of their newer beers in the future. read more

Back East Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Bloomfield, Connecticut

See all

You've probably seen Back East beers in local package stores and at restaurants/bars, especially in the Hartford area. The brewery itself actually happens to be randomly located in Bloomfield, just over the Windsor line. They are open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for limited hours in the afternoon/evening, where they offer free samples and brewery tours. There is VERY limited parking in front, and most likely you'll have to pull around the back where there is more than ample parking. I think some people mistakenly pull into the Dunkin Donuts lot since it is next door, so if it's your first visit you want to make sure you're using the correct lot. The tasting/tap room is on the smaller side, so you should expect a crowd when you visit. There's a tap area with the samples (usually 4 taps on my visits), and a cooler with growlers and six packs. The staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. All of their beers are solid. The Golden Ale and Back East Ale are good choices if you're not a fan of hoppy beers, while the Misty Mountain IPA has a good balance of hoppiness. The Pallet Mallate is a favorite of mine, but very hoppy. They also have seasonal and special limited-time offerings, so you want to check out their Facebook and Twitter pages. Overall, this is another in a line of really solid Connecticut-based breweries, and worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

My husband and I attended a fund raising event for Windsor High School Baseball. We had a really great time, it was pot luck food from the hosts and there was a raffle. It was open bar and we were able to try everything. The staff was really friendly and knowledgeable about the beers and the tasting room is spacious and comfortable. Cold cans are available in a cooler for sale. The unfiltered "ice cream man" was my husband's favorite of the night, he's also a fan of their other IPAs. We'll be back to visit if we get the opportunity. read more

This is our all time favorite brewery! This is the brewery that made us fall in love with beer. Every single person who works at Back East has always been AMAZING. Shout out to Jess who is the sweetest. Even during the most inclement weather she's always out there for can releases. During our most recent visit, in40 degree weather, her and Brian were fantastic and constantly checked up on us while we sat on the patio. We've had similar experiences with Jamie as well. Even, if you disregard the impeccable customer service, they have the best beer around. Not only do they have award winning IPAs, but their menu is expansive and includes a broad variety. If you're ever in the area, don't forget to stop by! read more

Went to Back East the day before Thanksgiving Day and had high expectations just based on the line of people that had formed at opening! The gentleman running the show was great, super helpful and accommodating. He even handed out tastes to those standing on line! The big beer of the day was the Rakautra, which people were stocking up on. We tried four of the beers, the Rakautra was definitely the best with Ex Machina in a near second. I would love to come back on a day when it's a little less busy and try some of the other beers! Probably one of the best breweries beerwise in CT. read more

The gang at Back East are some of my favorites in the business. Tony, Jess and Jaime are amazing. Always friendly and go out of their way to say hi! I like IPA's. They have a great selection. My favorites in order would be Unicorn Farms, Ice Cream Man, Tony Goes Dancing, Rakautra, Intergalactic Lupulinary, Suzy Greenberg and then... Misty Mountain. They are very involved in the community. The Shad Derby Ale is for the Shad Derby event in Windsor CT each May. read more

Back East Brewing - Such a good beer! - Breweries Near Me - Bloomfield, Connecticut

I'm thrilled to see another wonderful brewery open in Bloomfield - it's a solid addition to the CT Beer Trail and the local beer geek scene. I came to Back East on opening day last month and had the chance to sample each of their beers - among them, the Back East Ale, Misty Mountain IPA, Golden Ale, and my personal favorite, Back East's Imperial Stout. Robust, malty, with great character and coffee/chocolate undertones. Everything a good Imperial Stout should be (shh, don't tell my other love, New England Brewing's Imperial Stout Trooper). We naturally bought a couple of bottles to take back. I had the opportunity to attend an event at Back East last week and learned more about the brewery, brewing processes and the guys behind the scenes. I highly recommend stopping in for a tour, a tasting and a chat with Tony, Ed & Mike. A growler too, of course. read more

In pursuit of a winter "activity," we ended up at Back East for a tour with some friends. We were offered free beer samples on arrival, which we drank at a cafe style table while we waited for the tour to begin. Everyone seemed pretty impressed by the brewery's offerings, and we took home a growler of Back East Ale for $9 plus deposit (I think). The guy behind the bar was extremely friendly, and in general, the place had a "we're laid back but still take this seriously" vibe, which I appreciated. The tour was conducted by Ed, one of the owners, and was pretty interesting. He talked a lot about the different equipment they use, and described the brewing process. I would have liked to have heard a bit more background on how the brewery came to be, but have no complaints otherwise (particularly because we didn't pay for the samples or tour). This was definitely a great way to kill an hour or so while supporting a new local business. read more

Not bad. Randomly located, it's a bit out of place. Swung by a handful times for their tastings, and what they lack in size - they sure make up for in tasty brews! A bit on the smaller side, the tap room can comfortably house a few dozen guests. 4 taps are usually on the ready - Golden Ale, Back East Ale, Misty Mountain IPA, and a Seasonal Porter. Staff has always been real friendly, and the guys truly make Friday night tastings refreshingly engaging. Their Golden Ale is light but cool. The stout bold but not overwhelmingly too intense. And the IPA was equal parts hoppy and good, just right! Tastings are from Wednesday through Friday, 4-7 PM and Saturdays from 12-4. They offer a round of complimentary samples and and have 1/2 gallon growlers ($10 after tax, plus a $2 refundable growler deposit) or six-packs to go. Brewery tours are also offered on Saturdays for $3 and include samples, a brewery tour, and a pint glass for you to keep. read more

Craft brew lovers know Back East well. They have a great selection including some of the best IPAs around, an award winning porter, some BWs/sours, and much more. They added capacity about a year ago, so favorites like Ice Cream Man and Double Scoop are a little more available on release days. The staff is also awesome, helpful, and fun! Get there. You will be glad you did! read more

You wanna know what sets a great CT brewery apart from a good one? It's not just the beer, or the ambiance, or the marketing. It's having a passion for what you do. I know firsthand that this brewery wasn't conceived because of a grant or endowment or the deep pockets of some investor. It's the raw result of love for beer and a desire to utilize your talents for something other than insurance and banking in what is quickly becoming a very soulless state. Oh yeah, and did I mention their beer is also phenomenal? Some of the best in the state IMO. I especially love their IPA and porter, but the Imperial Stout and Palate Mallet Double IPA are really the gems. Support local beer and your local economy and pencil this place into your CT Beer trail itinerary for some good times and great brews! read more

This place is quickly becoming my favorite local brewery. I got turned onto them last year when I saw their stuff start popping up at several local restaurants. I gave it a try and the rest is history... The Back East Ale is absolutely fantastic and the Misty Mountain IPA is top notch as well. I'm not going to be a beer snob and try to describe the various flavors and aromas to you, but trust me, it's worth the trip. In terms of quality, this place is on par with any well-established craft brewery in Connecticut, or even New England for that matter! Check. It. Out. read more

This place does not look like a brewery when you walk in! The people working there are insanely nice and the beer is actually decent but the ambiance and decor of the "tasting room" just doesn't set the right vibe. The tour was led by a very nice and knowledgable gentleman but be prepared to be on your feet for a while. It's a VERY small brewery and the "tour" somehow takes a full hour. I have been on quite a few brewery tours and this was by far the longest (and okay, the most boring) I have ever been on. Go to pick up some growlers but skip the tour! read more

Back Easy is a fun little hometown brewery. Even though I visit a lot of these little breweries when I'm visiting somewhere, there aren't very many in the Hartford area. The tour piece was given by one of the owners and he made it relaxed and friendly. This was also one of the few tours where we got to see a canning machine demo in action. After the tour, we sampled the 4-5 options on tap and grabbed cans, bottles, and growler fills to go. The workers were all super nice and they are generous with charity events too. read more

Beer is hands down tasty! I am more of a hops girl so I'm all about the IPA and can't wait to try their double IPA sometime. I picked up a growler of the winter fest which is only sold at their brewery and some local watering holes. I can't wait to crack it open one of these chilly, winter nights. As for the ambience, the brewery itself is self explanatory....metal, hops, hoses galore. As for the tasting area, it seems really cold but I'm just guessing it's because this is a newer brewery. Maybe next time there will be some more charm. I mean, I guess you really only go there for the beer so I can't complain too much. :) Overall a cool brewery that has some great flavors. Oh and they are conscious of the environment and you definitely get that feel from them when they give the tour. read more

I think I'm really beginning to annoy my roommate. I have about 6 empty Back East Misty Mountain IPA growlers in our tiny apartment right now (where to put them? eh....in our tiny kitchen). This was after I stored one in my truck to avoid clustering them in the kitchen, but alas, it broke to shards in my trunk (dammit- a wasted $2!). The time I went to Back East (for the Yelp Elite event, still yet to return), I brought 6 empties with me. I had so many that I needed to carry a freaking bag full of them in addition to those in my hands. I think I need to start just getting one growler refilled there. I LOVE this beer! I want to start seeing their IPA on tap in every restaurant around the Hartford area. I am obsessed with IPAs and I can honestly say it's the only beer I buy now (for the past 4 months or so, that's been it!). I really think....I'll say it....it's the best IPA I've ever had. The place is also just very fun--it's just four guys (Tony, Ed, Mike and Joe) doing what they love. They are all super nice, friendly, welcoming and engaging. It's really cool also to see their bottling station (a small table) and tanks and everything, it's very small at the moment and you can see how dedicated they are to brewing quality beer and providing top notch customer service. I've tried all of their beers now. I actually really don't like porters, but their porter is so good! I've had it on tap also at J Timothy's, and I was very pleased to see that they had in there. I can't drink a ton of porter, but one glass is perfect. Normally I can't even stomach one glass of porter. I can't wait to come here for another tasting and show all of my friends how awesome their beer is. Cheers for supporting awesome local breweries! read more

We are big fans of Back East both as a local business and brewery in general! I have to say that after going to a tasting, my favorite is the Winter Warmer. It's a darker (but not too dark) brewed with local honey from Farmington CT, and you can taste the sweetness of the honey! Smooth and wonderful, especially around the holidays! The owner, Tony, is super friendly and there to answer all of your brewing questions. On a typical day, they will have their Back East Ale, Misty Mountain IPA, a Porter and then a seasonal on tap. You can purchase Back East swag and growlers right at the tasting counter. The outside isnt much to look at, but dont let it fool you. Back East is definitely a craft beer competitor in CT! read more

After drinking this beer for a year I finally made it into the actual brewery. Unfortunately, when I decided to stop in, they were closing (almost 5pm on a Saturday). Uber-props to Tony for opening back up so we could buy some growlers. While I cannot comment so much for the ambiance of the tasting room, I can attest to the superb customer service and great beer. Tony recommended the Summer Ale which I preferred over their IPA (my usual favorite), it was crisp and hoppy but, not bitter or overly light. I should also commend Back East on their marketing strategy, I've worked along side them at many beer tastings throughout the region and have seen their promotions broadcasted through a myriad of sources spanning many different demographic populations, they are always extremely knowledgeable, professional and fun to be around. Keep up the good work! read more

Back before we had our little one the hubby and I used to love going to breweries. We haven't been to one in a while but hubby works near back east and had been wanting to check it out. He drives by on Thursday and sees the brewery open and occasionally with food trucks outside. The rare Thursday that we were babyless we decided to check it out! It's small and a little more on the quieter side than other breweries I've been to but folks were friendly and the beer was goooood. We enjoyed our complimentary samples and had a few full glasses while playing the extra large connect four game (I won 3 games out of 5). There were no food trucks that day so we skedaddled when we got the hungs but all in all it was a good experience! read more

This place is amazing. I am a huge fan of stouts and porters. With other breweries, it's hard to find these all year round because IPAs are so trendy and popular. Here, they always have a stout or porter available and a good one to boot. Ex Machina is earth-shatteringly delicious. read more

Super delicious IPAs and the JJ special is something that everyone needs to try! The blackberry beer is better than any Tree House tarts you can find and the service was great. I appreciate ya Back East Brewery! read more

This was the second stop on the CT Beer Trail tour that my boyfriend and I took last week. Our visit included samples, a tour, and a 5 oz. sample glass. I saw from the website that that normally goes for $3, so not a bad deal if you're coming just for that. We sampled both their porter and their Imperial Stout. I normally like porters, but I just wasn't a fan of this one. The flavor packed a lot of punch, and it had a bitter aftertaste that I didn't enjoy. I next tried the stout, and that one was even bolder. My boyfriend went from the stout to the porter, and said that he couldn't taste anything at all after drinking the stout. That's how heavy and strongly flavored it is. He normally loves dark beers, but these weren't his thing either, and he also noticed the same aftertaste. Even though the beers were disappointing, we enjoyed the tour. It's probably the most in-depth tour you're going to get at a CT brewery (it was something like 45 minutes), and I appreciated that our guide, one of the owners, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about beer. If you're really interested in all the nuts and bolts of beer-making, this is the tour to go on! Some criticisms and suggestions, if I may: There are a few tables and chairs in the place, but by the time we got there a little after 1, the place was full of people, and you could only really stand. I would love if there were more seating areas so people can really relax and enjoy the beer. Also, it was never made clear to us how many samples we could have (though I'll chalk this up to poor organization by the CT Beer Trail folks), and there was no explanation of what we were drinking. I usually love porters, but if I had known this beer was characterized as "bold", as the website description says, I might have chosen something else. There were only two people working the sample counter, and they were swamped by people, so there wasn't a lot of time to ask them about the beers. Overall, I think this place is worth the stop if you're in the area, and definitely if you like bolder beers, even if they weren't for me. read more

Super cool vibe. Great wait staff. Remarkably clean and the beer is fantastic! If you like a DIPA try the Tony Goes Dancing. Enjoy!

The people here at Back East certainly know what they're doing!! For being relatively new to the beer scene, they certainly hit the mark, and then some! Upon arriving, the visiting area is pretty small. However, there are a decent number of chairs and tables for patrons. They knew a great deal about beer in general as well as their own beer. There was no charge for a sampling, and they took you on a trip from their lightest brew up through their Imperial Stout. On the day I went, they had all 6 of their beers on tap. Unfortunately, they ran out of their winter beer by the time I had made it that far into the tasting, so they opened one of their growlers of it and gladly poured our samples from there. They have a stocked fridge full of growlers of each of their beers (except the Imperial Porter) and will fill your growler if you choose to supply your own. Unfortunately, I didn't plan my visit well enough to have time to take a tour, but that didn't ruin my dexperience. Given their knowledge and friendlyness, I gladly purchased 2 growlers from them and will undoubtedly be returning many times! read more

Back east brews awesome beers. I love at least 5 of their beers. And like many more. If your in the area of Bloomfield i suggest you stop by. It's my go to spot. Im lucky i live 10 mins away. Cheers! read more

Back East is a rock solid local craft beer destination. Quality beers. Head on down to Bloomfield and get yourself some amazing beers. Great selection. read more

Back East has raised it's game to a top 3 in Connecticut. We had an event there last week and I tried pints of 5 beers. All were spot on. Far, far better than anyone else in greater Hartford. The staff was very helpful and friendly. All in all, a great place! read more

Summary: Tasty beer in a nondescript location! But for the incredible Yelp event I attended, I would never have known this craft brewery was here. That seems to be the status quo in CT, so many amazing small business that are easily overlooked if you aren't in the know. Enter Yelp....problem solved! Anyway, Back East is no joke. The competition for tasty craft beer is fierce and Back East is not only holding its own, it's expanding. This little industrial space in Bloomfield offers a full tour, tasting, and opportunities to buy growlers and other beer-related swag. If you are a craft beer afficionado this is a must do. If you aren't, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

This is a great local brewery to visit; it is one our favorites. Their beers are very good and my favorite is their porter, which is a smooth brown ale and is delicious. They also have their famous Back East Ale which is an amber ale and is a great beer with a meat or fish dinner. Back East also serves a Golden Ale which is light and refreshing along with a Misty Mountain IPA. This IPA is very good, with a strong finish but is smooth. These are their year round beers; they also serve an Octoberfest, which is by FAR my favorite after the Porter. :-) A great reason that we really enjoy visiting Back East is that they hold events that compliment their beers. We have attend their Breads and Brews events and both were great, which offered pourings of their beer along with a dinner of meat, cheese soup, handmade pretzels and more; which is also sponsored by @HartfordBaking Company. Their pretzels and breads are amazing. I am really looking forward to the next event that Back East offers. The brewery tap room is recently renovated and has several tables and couches across from the bar. There is also a very cool large style wood connect four game; this is allot of fun while enjoying Back East beer. It will be very cool if Back East is able to offer outdoor tables for customers to enjoy their beer outside, especially during the summer time. This is definitely a local brewery that you should plan on visiting. There are growlers and 6 pack cans available for customers along with swag, such as the beer t-shirt, pint glass, hats, etc....Cheers!!! read more

The owner's are great at back east. My friends will rent a bus and hit numerous breweries in a day, on our last outing we stopped by back east. One of the founders provided the tour, he was knowledgable and friendly. Not at all arrogant and very willing to interact with his audience and answer questions. The brewery is clean, neat and organized. They may deserve Five stars but I cannot offer up the fifth. The girl pouring behind the counter had somewhat of an ego and could be friendlier. They limit the samples and are not very relaxed with them. I would rather pay and have a few decent pours than a sip of 5 different beers. Nice Job Back east. read more

Love coming here !!! One of my favorite breweries. The beer is great my favs are ice cream man and unicorn farms. The girls are amazing

I would love to embrace and enjoy a great local brewery, but sadly these guys aren't the ones! Average to below average beer in my opinion, no creativity, and it's brewed in a cinder block commercial building in Bloomfield, CT - seriously? Where's the story and marketing behind the product? Probably done by the same person responsible for creating the name Back East - how stupid! Toured their facility, and tasted some of their offerings... I asked a few questions and they acted like their recipes were trade secrets revealing absolutely nothing! Honestly I couldn't have cared less, but I was simply trying to engage in some intelligent conversation. I have traveled the world, and tasted some of the finest craft beers on the planet - I am truly passionate about beer! Someday a Two Roads of New England Brew Co will setup a brewery in the Hartford area and it will be available on at least one tap in every restaurant and bar! Beer styles, like technology continue to evolve and reinvent themselves constantly. It's a shame in CT we have to rely on great beers traveling from hundreds if not thousands of mile to satisfy our desires! read more

When ever I have to drive into my office in Windsor (I work remotely), I make it over to these guys. They make some really good beer. I am a big fan of the Misty Mountain Hop IPA. I also love the Pallet Mallet when it is available. They do growler fills and sell six packs in their showroom. They have recently remodeled the showroom. It is easy to miss the place as you have to know where to pull in as it is a pretty busy road (Blue Hills Ave). The staff has always been friendly. You get a free sample of each style they have on tap that day. This is nice as it allows you to find what you like before actually buying some. I noticed that their beers are showing up in more and more package stores in the area. Even my local Stop & Shop had the Misty Mountain in their case! Good to see local brewers catching on. I will never go back to mass produced beer again. So many good local brews to enjoy! read more

Back East is fantastic. All of their brews are extremely solid and they're in delightful CANS now! How awesome, right?! They also, obviously, do growler refills and you can come for a tour. The tour is fun. The tasting is even more fun. Great to have a place as good as this one in Bloomfield, it's nice and convenient because my grandparents live in Simsbury. A sure bet is the porter! Misty mountain IPA is also awesome!! read more

Took a great tour here on a Saturday. Ed, one of the co-founders, gave our tour. He was friendly, informative, and funny, and shared plans for the growth of the brewery. Brewing was commencing as we toured, meaning we got to watch growlers getting filled and taste an incredibly fresh porter. For 3$/person, you get a 45 minute tour and a 5 or 6 beer tasting (about 4-5oz each). Amazing value and tasty beers! read more

1.) Introduction: This is a review completely different than the Yelp Event review. I always try my best at giving people reviews straight from the heart...............HONEST and generally thorough. The Yelp event here was different, because they incorporated things that are not typical of this place alone. In this review, i'm going to talk about this place alone. So, here we go........ *takes a deep inhale, then deeply exhales out* 2.) Aesthetics: a.) Outside: I know that their times say that they are opened at 7pm. During winter and day light savings time it gets darker out, so it is only practical for businesses to provide some kind of lighting for customers to see their way in and out. This place, generally lacks this, particularly in the front. To some they would find this a little creepy. This place is located on a busy street in Bloomfield, so I feel lighting is also a must. The parking lot, however, seems very abundant in the amount of spots for parking. I did recall a light being there, but that was on the building and more for loaders/unloaders of cargo. b.) Inside: Nicely lit. Small. Definitely has a mom and pop's shop kind of feel. It's cozy. The actual brewer room is very cool, but I have some words to say about this. You can take it or leave it. During the tour, I saw a lot of "raisins" or as you would call animal droppings. Now I call them raisins, but they did not have the same color or look to them. I could be wrong, I could be right. But I did see a trail of them behind the brewing vats. You guys are gonna have to get on that ASAP! My mother did pest control for 10 years, and she's made me keen on stuff like that. Prove me wrong, Back East! Please, honestly, prove to me that those were just raisins on the floor, and that you guys were just giving us a little teaser into your new batch of Raisin brew! MmmmmMmmmmmm.....yum! 3.) Service: The guys there are pretty nice guys. Helpful. Though I didn't feel that the owner or the brew masters were extremely helpful in answering the people's questions. 4.) Beer: I tried three beers. I tried the Mountain Indian Pale Ale and Golden Ale twice for my tongue's confirmation of flavors to the tongue, then I had the Porter. Now this is just my opinion, but I didn't find the beer here to fully tickle my fancy. I thought of the beer to be rather faint in flavor. When I drink a porter, I don't want to drink a watered down one. I want a porter that is rich in chocolate and/or coffee notes with maybe some carbonation. I didn't like the IPA or the Golden Ale, but I did like the Porter out of all three. I may have to try it in their bottle form. Perhaps there will be more flavor in that. 5.) Impressions: I think Thomas Hooker brewery (also in Bloomfield) has a new competitor. It's going to be tough, because I find Thomas Hooker brewery to be okay as well, but they THB has a little more flavor in their beer. read more

Been here twice now and both times coincided with a special event they were hosting. First a quick tip on location: Brewery (like most small up and coming craft breweries) is situated in an industrial park. This will make it confusing on where to find the place and where to park. If you are coming from the north (think: intersection), you will pass brick façade and will make first left into center and park around back. If you are coming from the south (towards that intersection), you will want to look for right into industrial park as are coming up on intersection. Park around back and then you have a small sidewalk along side of building that will take you to entrance. Like I said, confusing... Outside of that, it's a cool place to grab a brew. Very clean basic pour room with pub tables to stand around and discuss while sampling. As they are new with a limited selection of beers, you should be able to sample them all if you choose during your time. Sampling is free, but I always feel that (intended) guilt to purchase something for my free beer. They have growlers, some bombers of imperial style beers, and other merchandise. Both times I went, they had a packed house and there was a good vibe all around. I review beer on other sites and won't bore you here, but generally positive on their beers and always good to support the local brewers trying to make it in CT. If craft brew is your thing, you should mark this place on the map to check out. read more

Yesterday we toured Back East brewery with some friends. It was great. It is a small craft brewery that has not been around that long. One of the owners does the tour and he is very knowledgable. They also have a tasting room with free samples. The beer was great. It was a fun weekend activity. read more

Admittedly, I have yet to have the beer in a bar. I think their Porter is their best product, and the fact that one can have a growler of this fine beer for under $10 makes me a huge supporter of this local business. read more

Stopped in to try some new beers. Low-key and friendly staff. The IPAs were all delicious. My favorite was the Rakautra. My girlfriend's was the Suzy Greenberg! I also really enjoyed their Winterfest. We each got a sampler and the staff also shared their favorites with us. Enjoyable afternoon with good beer. read more
