Great vibe here. Friendly staff and patrons. The beer is tasty and true to style. Nothing to crazy, though definitely given its own twist on classics. There is a food truck every Saturday. read more

We came here for some beer. The beer is good. I ordered a beer without trying it first. It was waaaaay too sweet. I asked if I could get a different one. My mistake for not sampling first. I asked nicely if I could get a different beer. This is a business right?Who puts customers first right? WRONG! No sour beers here people, but sour people! You make a mistake? They will slap your hand, lecture you and then give you a new beer. If that's your style you've found the right place. read more

Let's be clear. Beer and I are not friends, never have been. Hated the taste and makes me feel fat, bloated and pee constantly. And, frankly the high for me is heavy and sloppy as opposed to wine or hard liquor. I have tolerated it in the past, but in the poorest of circumstances. Blue Moon is pretty much the only beer I have voluntarily drank/enjoyed and that was created only in the recent past. To my Irish boyfriends' chagrin I silently grimace when the meeting place is a pub (most can't make a proper gin/vodka and soda to save their life!). I literally contemplated bringing a flask of my favorite gin to this outing. Enter Black Hog. I met some coworkers for a little Sunday-fun day. Of the beer flight I fell in love with one and found another quite pleasant. Granted, my love resembled a Sauvignon blanc more than a "real" beer drinkers beer (don't care for the hoppy) but Black Hog went the extra mile to include me, the anti-beer gal. This favorite was the Kumquat Slingshot (cutesie name -check) and my second runner up was the Swag. I will drink this when I really want a beer-beer, like with a burger. As a real-food enthusiast I love that there are grapefruit and fresh garden herbs infused and you can taste it. Guys- I BOUGHT A GROWLER of it. My coworkers were as shocked as I was. Thanks and congrats to Black Hog for helping me join the club of craft beer! PS-the atmosphere is pleasant and fun with giant Jenga blocks and good music playing in the background. Staff are friendly too! read more

I love the atmosphere of the place and the food trucks that come every week. I know a few friends that go there and even work there and it's very close to home too. read more

awesome vibe, awesome beer, food trucks outside, corn hole. very kid-friendly, even though we were there in scorched earth temperatures. my 4yo still enjoyed the corn hole out front. the owner was a good dude, he was out back cutting wood or something for what I'd guess was something brewery-related. kind of bummed they had no patches or coozies left but i'll be back for sure, hopefully when they're in stock. read more

Black Hog Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Oxford, Connecticut

Nice space. Good beer. Found a deal on Groupon that included a sample of all of their beers, a sticker and a beer glass. The art on the cans is amazing. Nice staff, boardgames available for entertainment . read more

Wow...don't know what kind of a crowd this place is trying to attract. Filthy rap/hip hop music on the loudspeakers greeted us as we walked in...strike one Trying to find a place to sit down that didn't have dirty/used glasses strewn about. Had to physically try to move them aside without having to actually let them touch my hands. Strike two Trying to eat the delicious Caseus grilled cheese sandwich while trying to swat flies away the whole time... Strike three So many better options in the area...will never return. read more

Love the music at blackhog today Finally some good hip hop style

Incredible delivery service. Black Hog Brewing went above and beyond to make this a great experience. Highly recommend

Bought the groupon and got a flight of 12, 6 ounces each but the way they were poured it was 1 ounce of head foam. Whatever really. Also the flights are "preselected" as their top beers. Definitely was not blown away but also wasn't the worst beer i've had either. Food truck and live music was nice though. read more

Drove a half hour to try this place out and loved it!! The place was packed, beers were good, great atmosphere and people were friendly. Can't wait to visit again. Also bought some beer glasses as a souvenir. read more

Great beer and awesome people who work and brew there. Always good food trucks on the weekends. Great games like corn hole, jenga, and connect four made by them. read more

Great beer! What else do you need (nothing). A few more seats wouldn't be to bad of an idea. Food truck Saturday is great. read more

A nice selection of beer styles brewed in creative ways. I liked their rustic, casual atmosphere - very cozy, and the giant Jenga games were a nice touch. Bartenders were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. My favorite beer when we went was the barrel aged cherry milk stout! Their coffee stout was awesome too. read more

Excellent beer available always with a fun atmosphere. The 4 rating is for the excellent beer. Rating of 3 for customer service/convenience: I don't like it when breweries won't let you bring in your own clean growler to fill up. Fill the customers growler at the tap, charge the normal amount for the same amount of beer and be done with it. Don't force customers to buy your growler. Simple fix to be one of the best breweries around. read more

Went to the website, saw they were open till six. Drove the 45 minutes and got here just after 430. Unfortunate they were closing the taps and they turned us away, so we didn't get any brew.... read more

This place is awesome! The people are so nice! It's nice and relaxed to meet up with some friends after work or just get a growler filled. Try the Ginga Ninja! read more

My favorite brewery ever! and I go at least once a month. Love the staff, atmosphere, and beers never disappoint. I also love how kid and dog friendly it is! They actually carry juice boxes and snacks for kids! read more

Fantastic local brewery with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. Certainly worth stopping by!

Love this place, love the vibe, love the beer! Check it out!! I love the real brewery feeling and how you sit in the brew room, its adds to the ambience.... read more

This was the first brewery I ever went to and honestly every time I've come here has been so fun. The beer is pretty good, I really like their strawberry gose both on tap and in cans. Piglet is also a very good double IPA as well. In the past two years, they have really updated and expanded their sitting room. I came here in November with family and didn't see much of a difference at the time, but last week I could really notice how much more seating there was. They also have upgraded from one bathroom to two which is much more convenient since the bathroom line could get pretty long in the past. As for food, they typically have a food truck on the premise conveniently parked right outside the entrance and the food is always so good. I love the fried egg roll truck they have visit!!! Definitely worth a trip on any day they are there! The brewery also has a sampler of 8 different beers and it's beautiful. Most breweries give you 4-5 but Black Hog really goes above and beyond. You can even host events and parties here! We recently looked into them as a venue for a party and the prices weren't too bad. They included beer, so what more could you really want? Overall, this is a great brewery and it's only the next town over from where I live, so I will definitely be back. read more

This place is fine. In Oxford in an industrial park. The beers are OK. Not the most flavorful, quite average in my opinion. It's a small space so you may end up hanging out in the parking lot outside. They do have corn hole but it was taken when we arrived so no game :( read more

Great place to spend an afternoon with a group of people! Beers are very good and they have something for everyone, with new ones coming out all the time. Kid friendly as well! Staff is great. Place is in a weird spot but that's ok. It's also very close to OEC so I typically do both in the same day. read more

Nice little space and decent beer. There are a few tables made out of palettes plus a free upright Pacman!! The people working the bar are very friendly. Seems like a very popular place for hipsters to come and hang. Definitely worth checking out. read more

They are one mile from my house. What more could a fellow ask for? Their beer selection is decent. They have hoppy beer for the hipster crowd (which they get a lot of) and malty beer for the rest of us.The seasonal selections are hit or miss, but hey, taste is in the mouth of the beholder right? I haven't tried the "Disco Pig" varieties yet, so I can't talk about those. The cost isn't too bad, but is a bit higher than some of the other breweries. $8 for a 32oz growler refill and $5 for a pint. Sure it's a little steep, but it's still cheaper than buying it at a bar or restaurant. And this is Connecticut. USA-Today rates CT as #7 on their top 7 most expensive places to live. They have food trucks on Saturdays and big heavy Jenga to play. (I love the free video game in the corner). The overall feel of the place is good with a lean towards the industrial. The decor is definitely spartan with wood skid tables and rough strewn wood stools. I would love to see better (hipster-type) descriptions of the beers on their website. I'm certainly not a beer snob, but I do like to read about flavor notes and finishes etc... I like the newsletter that they produce. It's really the best way to find out news and events. I'm not a Twit-Face, so I rely on the newsletter and website for info. Their website should have an rss feed (or a stock ticker) for what is currently on tap. Overall, this is a great upstart brewery. I definitely have and will continue to recommend it to everyone I know that likes good fresh micro-brewed beer. read more

Good times! Good beer and games, corn hole outside, food trucks... Awesome. Went to "another Oxford brewery" today which was awful. Black Hog is a breath of fresh air after that! read more

Finally made the long 5 minute ride to Black Hog. Good beer, cool atmosphere, nice people.

Sadly this place is probably the worst brewery I have ever been too. None of their beers are actually good (their swag didn't taste like grapefruit in any way, their ginger beer didn't taste like ginger), their growlers are over priced at $15(although their pints are priced well at $4) and they only give 1 sample per customer. I basically tried a flight of beers and nothing stood out to me. I wanted to get 2 growlers since I went almost an hour out of my way to try this place since they got good reviews on yelp, but they really do not have even one good beer let alone 2 so I won't be back. Two Roads, New England brewing, SBC and Captain Lawrence are either closer or the same distance and all of them are better than this place. read more

Fun environment, great beers. Its in a super random location and luckily we went with friends who had previously been, otherwise I feel like it might be hard to find. On a Saturday afternoon they had a food truck, also had wine for folks who aren't beer fans. This is on my must come back to list when I am in CT again. read more

Went here this past Saturday. Only had four beers, stout tapped out, all four beers were good. Will definitely go back especially to try their stout. read more

I hosted a Private Tasting Party for my Husband's Surprise 30th Bday Party and it was everything I wanted and more! From the minute I booked the place Tom was very helpful with answer all my ridiculous questions. I also spoke and met Ryan before the party and he was very helpful as well. I couldn't have asked for a better night! All of our guests were happy as well. Beer is delicious! We brought in our own food. I would definitely do an event there again in the future. It was worth it! It has a great industrial feel to it, it has an open lay out, Jenga and Video games to play as well. The staff was very helpful when it came to setting up everything I needed, I made posters and a photo booth! Bartenders we're really nice as well! I'm beyond happy with my experience and encourage everyone to check it out for your next private event or just head over on a Saturday afternoon for a tasting! read more

A+ operation. Exciting young brewery led by brewmaster Tyler, a young man wise beyond his years regarding the craft of brewing The entire staff is delightful and most importantly the beers are of the utmost integrity read more

Excellent beer, superior service, knowledgable staff (not memorized staff). You can't go wrong with the addition of Saturday food trucks or BYOF. read more

This place is a much different vibe than the OEC brewery that is just a few minutes away. That said, even though the vibe is different, it is equally enjoyable, but for different reasons. Black Hog always stocks draughts of their staple beers and frequently also offer special brewery only releases. They also seem to really hit home runs with the food trucks that come to them. Every time I've been there, there has been an excellent food truck parked outside. The place itself is very DIY. There are a few tables and chairs that are upcycled palettes. There is also a stand up Ms Pacman clone machine in the corner set to free play. The staff are friendly and quick. They know what they are doing even when it is super busy, which is almost always. Small and crowded (its a brewery) but definitely worth checking out. read more

The only thing worse than the beer was the service. Actually heard the bartender mutter guys are so stupid while walking away from our order. Not sure 8 I would return for anything other than the closing ceremony read more

Great beer selection with seasonal brews introduced from time to time. The staff is absolutely awesome!!!

The best experience I have ever had here. Britta was so Sweeet and Personal. Really made me feel welcomed would return anytime !

We drove about 45 minutes to experience a different brewery, we are normal patrons at Firefly Hollow in Bristol. When we arrived the staff was not super friendly and were staring at their watches, I guess they couldn't wait to close (it was probably a long week with the holiday) with an hour and a half left. We ordered the Milk Stout which was nothing special but the WORST was the pour!! They apparently don't know how to pour Nitro as my beer had nearly half a glass of head on it! For a place that specializes in pouring beer that is pretty much a deal breaker. Their squeeler's are cool but other than that, the ambiance, customer service and beer could learn something from Firefly. read more

Has a funky vibe. Tried all the beers on tap. I liked the coffee milk stout the best the rest were too hoppy and had a slight bitter taste. But a neat experience. You must try it for yourselves. read more

Good standard beer. The brown wheat with rosemary was surprisingly nice. I liked the atmosphere. And the workers were friendly.
