    Grilled cheese BLT
    Rich B.

    I've been craving, almost dreaming, about "the PRETZEL", ever since Pam mentioned it a few months ago. Unfortunately, BBBC was closed, as it was a Tuesday. This evening, we stopped in and, I must say, it was the best, biggest, hottest pretzel I've ever enjoyed in my entire lifespan. Came w two dipping sauces, a zesty, robust mustard and a fondue-like cheese. Thank goodness we split it as an appy cuz it was huuuge. I ordered a flight of 4 beers, all locally brewed. I was helped in my choices by our server, Kati, as well as my friend. They were all excellent, although my favorite was "lucid". I followed up w a pint of lucid after the flight and I don't think I was very lucid after it. I think Pam had two and she also had a grilled cheese BLT; I had a bacon, jalapeno, cheddar burger. I really enjoyed the burger. The brioche bun was excellent and the combination of beef, bacon, cheddar, and hot pepper really worked. Perfectly cooked as well. Pam said her sandwich was also 5-star worthy. And Kati was a bunch of fun, and very excellent. Definitely recommend.

    Broad Brook Brewing Company has come along way since East Windsor

    Finally got to enjoy the new and improve Broad Brook Brewing after they left East Windsor a while back. This new location in Suffield is sadly not nearby a major highway which was a big pull for the last place but they make up for with a brand new building with both indoor and outdoor seating. With a great view of the manufacturing floor where all the delicious brews come from is a splendid sight just as you walk in. We were able to grab a table inside more in the lobby than the bar area staying safe with COVID. You can see that we were right near the front door but didn't feel cold with the door opening and closing. I enjoyed a flight and a carne pizza, a combo that has stood the test of time. Didn't get a chance to really to go into more of the building but will be back to explore it more when the summer hits and hopefully Covid is a thing of the past.

    I've been going to Broad Brook for years, including before they moved to their new location. They've expanded their beer selection a ton, and it's great! The food at this location is also AMAZING. They still brew the old standbys they've been doing for years (Broad Brook Ale, Hopstillo, and more), but now they have the ability to do small-batch and experimental beers. If their Caliente Blonde is on, definitely give it a try! It's a blonde ale brewed with habanero peppers. Definitely went well with the jalapeno popper grilled cheese! If you get a table outside, you can usually see planes taking off or landing at Bradley airport, which is fun. They've even named a beer after Runway 24, the runway they are near. Definitely worth giving Broad Brook a try.

    Good beer with outdoor seating on a deck. You can see where they brew the beer from the tap room. The chicken sandwich was the bomb.

    Very nice venue. Quite large, with different rooms for events and also a large main area with…read moretables and room enough for a live band. There is also an outdoor patio. The beer was very good and the service was courteous. The only negative on the night was that they didn't have any merch for sale - no glasses or hats or tees - which is very odd. Not sure if that was temporary or they just don't bother. Anyway, if you go there, you should have a nice time.

    Almost Famous Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in East Granby, Connecticut in…read moreFebruary 2022. It was founded by business partners Chip Glanovsky and head brewer Jim Wilfinger. Friends since high school, the two partners began brewing their own beer using fresh fruit and natural ingredients. Eventually, they had a dream of opening their own brewery. In 2018, they registered their brand as "Blind Faith Brewing Company, LLC". On paper, they are still known under that name. However, sometime before their brick and mortar brewery opened in 2022, they discovered that Vermont-based Magic Hat Brewing Company had already copyrighted the name "Blind Faith" for an English IPA of theirs. Needing a new name quick, Chip and Jim settled on "Almost Famous" in reference to the 2000 film directed by Cameron Crowe. The name is also meant to honor all people who almost got famous but didn't in the end. I recently visited Almost Famous for the first time. I immediately loved the space. It's very spacious with a large taproom, plenty of seating, a private event room, a billiards room, and a classic arcade room. I also loved the Rock 'n' Roll theme that was going on. The bar was built to resemble Marshall amplifiers, truss towers, and the tap handles were all different guitars. I started off with a sampler flight that featured "Anything's Impossible" (American Pilsner), "Tangent" (Tangerine Fruited Sour), "Stranger Than Fiction" (Cream Stout), "Everybody Wants Some!" (Pineapple Vanilla Bean Milkshake IPA) and "Bitch 'B' trippin" (Double New England IPA). The latter two were my favorites. Afterwards, I enjoyed a full pour of "Bubblegumption" (Bubblegum Milkshake IPA). Overall, I had a great experience at Almost Famous. I would love to return with my family in the future; my sons will love the arcade!

The brewers were brewing, and the space inside was nice. They also had an expansive outdoor area and plenty of parking. The drinks were well done, lots of flavors and varieties on tap. No one complained about the beers though the drinks were small for the price. The food venue towards the back was pumping out pizzas from a giant pizza oven with a blazing fire. I ordered some appetizers from the menu for my team to share. Meatballs, elote, and waffle fries. The apps were not easily shareable but we made it work. Waffle fries were generic and not crispy enough. The elote was corn pancakes rather than corn on the cob. My mistake for not fully reading the menu. Flavor was good but messy. Meatballs were good in terms of flavor and consistency, got a decent amount for the price too. The meatballs were the best bite. The pizza is trying to be New Haven style but is missing the structure. Way too floppy and heavy for the style of crust. Needs to be lighter on the sauce and cooked just a couple minutes more to really solidify that bottom and get rid of the tip droop. Cheese had a good elasticity to it though, good cheese pulls. As an informal event venue, it's pretty good but pricy for what you get. As a local brewery, if it can keep its events constant then it will do well. As a food venue, it's high for where it is but the quality is reasonable. A few more shareable apps beyond pizza and just a few small tweaks to the pies and they will be great.

I've never really tried Italian style but enjoyed IPAs, stouts, pilsners etc. I made it a point to stop in and try the beers. Now this was a few years ago. When I had first stopped in their opening week I tried the beers and thought they were ok at best. However, I know that first openings cannot be a final judgement for breweries as things are getting dialed in and most places are using new setups to make the beer. So I waited about a month and went back and was blown out of the water by the difference in what I initially tried versus what they were making now, the beer was phenomenal and I have been going back since, stopping in when I can. The brewery itself, while on the smaller size is very cozy, clean and nicely decorated. They offer various areas including high tops, standard tables and couch areas ( as well as outdoor seating during warmer months) Every-time I have stopped in they have had a food truck offering available as well as a Chinese restaurant right next door. They also have snacks inside so they have a few options for food. All in all, it's a great place, awesome vibe and some really good brews. Definitely worth a stop in. (Also, they offer beers for veterans. I always make it a point to buy a veteran a beer when I stop in, and yes you can prepay for one)

We wandered the small airport looking for something tasty. So we walked by the Black Bear Saloon and here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in the middle between the 2 walkways that lead to the different gate areas is this gem. It's right next to where passengers who just got off of planes would go to collect their bags/exit. The entrance is wide-open since it's in an airport. This place gives off an upscale tavern feel with neutral wood colors and yellow lighting. It wasn't very bust so it wasn't loud at all. Service: Service was a bit slow to be honest, but let's chalk it up to being understaffed, as lots of places were at this time, so that's okay. We had plenty of time and weren't in a rush to go anywhere. Food: So we are here for the wings! We were able to try 2 flavors so we went with Buffalo and I can't remember the second one. It was a white-ish sauce, but looking at their menu, none of the sauces make sense to be white. Lol. Ah! I remember! Cucumber Wasabi! It's not on the menu for some reason, but it was a very interesting flavor and one I liked more than the Buffalo! The wings were very decent though, plump, juicy, crispy and filling. Value: $14.00 for 9 wings isn't terrible, especially given the wing shortage, the pandemic AND for it being airport food. Not bad at all. I'd come back for these for sure. In conclusion, I think I may wanna do a video here... Hmm... I'd certainly comeback, I usually just don't have the time since I'm usually headed to a plane.
