Met a bunch of women here for a social outing. There were 14 of us and there was enough space and then some, to accommodate our big party I started with the Ovidius VIII which was a mix of marion berry, blueberries and cherries. It was just the right sour and sweet combination I also ordered the cowboy burger from the food truck. Bbq sauce, jalapeños, cheese, crispy fried onions and a side of French fries. The wings were good and they served a lot! There was also a band playing, nice little setup read more

I visited with my 2025 Beer Passport and tried the BOGO lager with a friend. I'm more of a dark beer drinker so it wasn't my favorite but then tried the Nero Imperial Milk Stout and enjoyed the peanut butter and vanilla overtones. They also serve n/a drinks and wine from Rose Vineyards. The staff were really nice and they have happy hour discounts plus local music which is pretty cool. The outside area looks out to the woods and you can play corn hole. food trucks are usually there. read more

This place lives up to the hype! First, it's beautiful. The interior and patio are both great places to hang out. Everything is very fresh and clean, and super accessible. There are 5 large accessible spaces in their parking lot, so they didn't go with the bare minimum which is much appreciated. Yes, it's off a main road, but out back on the patio you're looking at an expanse of woods so you kind of forget about it. Their beer is delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed my IPA, and my husband was a big fan of the lagers he had. They do great pours of them as well. It was quiet while we were there early in the day, and service at the bar was very friendly and quick. This is a great brewery to just hang out with some snacks and have a few fabulous pints! read more

First time here. Very helpful and attentive, took time to explain about the brewery, products, and all drink choices. The indoor space is very nice and the outdoor area is part a well-manicured lawn that has a few different types of games and an area for the daily food truck. They have electronic space heaters, which will come in handy in cooler weather, but I've never seen heaters like these. Today, they had a cooling fan blowing under the umbrellas. I had a sour, another had a lager, another a glass of wine from a local winery and another had their homemade alcohol seltzer base with added melone syrup. They have several flavors that can be added to the seltzers. All of the beverages were very solid. I'll definitely be back! read more

Really enjoyed our first night here. The space, both inside and out, was spectacularly beautiful with lots of functional and artistic details. While we did not have time to get something to eat on this visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our first drinks. I highly recommend the sours! Mine was spectacular, truly one of the best I've ever had from a local brewery. It's also worth mentioning that the two gentlemen we chatted with behind the bar were really friendly, like exceptionally friendly! Knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Just great hosts for this beautiful little spot! read more

Loved this place! Gorgeous building and really great indoor and outdoor seating. The bartenders were very knowledgeable about their beer and offered lots of information and guidance for ordering. They had a pizza truck there that day which is always great for a brewery. The space has a really comfortable and cool vibe. You instantly feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Bathrooms are squeaky clean which I always appreciate! We all really enjoyed the outdoor patio and definitely loved our beers. We can't wait to go back! read more

Caius farm brewery is a relatively new brewery and it's a nice addition to the beer scene. The venue is nice and modern and usually gets packed pretty fast, but there is also outdoor seating for the nice weather. I really enjoy all the light beers like the Pilsner and lagers. The beers are nice crisp and clean easily crushable for the hot weather. I also like how they are one of the only few breweries that adjust the foam level of the beer to how you like it. the IPAs here are not bad as well but I have had better. I like the nitrous out here bonus for popcorn. I would recommend this place and definitely be back. read more

My husband, who is a particularly big fan of German-style beers, had been wanting to try this place for more than a year. We finally made it down from Rhode Island for our anniversary. The building and beer garden were both beautiful, but it was the beers that were the stars. My husband had half pours of the Vitellius (an altbier and his favorite of his selections), Aurelia (a Kolsch-style ale finished in Sauvignon barrels, my favorite of his), and two others. I went right for the gusto and absolutely loved both my choices -- Elagabalus (a bourbon barrel aged Imperial stout that was thick, dark, complex and absolutely decadent) and Ovidius III (a fruited sour that reminded me of raspberry jam). The staff were wonderful and we truly enjoyed our visit. So worth the 1 1/2 hour drive! We'll be back read more

First visit to this farm brewery. The brewery is pretty large inside and the production equipment is visible. You can smell the malt and hops upon entry. They had 11 beers on tap and 7 selections for of to go beer. I purchased two four packs to go, a DDH IPA and a sour. The brewery doesn't offer flights which I dislike and why I didn't go full five stars. Instead I purchased two half pours and enjoyed my beers outside relaxing in an Adirondack chair. Prices are fair and staff very friendly! read more

Caius Farm Brewery is a craft farm brewery that opened in Branford, Connecticut in March 2023. It was founded by entrepreneur and head brewer Caius Mergy. In addition to degrees from both the Master Brewer program at the Siebel Institute in Chicago and the Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany, Mergy also has a master's degree in Classical Archaeology from the University of Oxford. He came up with an idea to open his own brewery that had a theme centered around his archaeological background. Mergy obtained a property that once been home to the historic Daniel Baldwin House. The most recent use of the property was a farm that ceased operations in the early 2000s. Mergy built a brand new building on the property that not only drew inspiration from the old farm, but also from traditional Roman meeting halls and German beer gardens. The brewery's connectivity to the landscape has been maximized through the regeneration of a small hop yard, edible landscaping, fruit trees, and as a home to beehives to produce honey. All of these ingredients are used in the brewing process. My family and I recently visited Caius Farm Brewery for the first time. The building is a Roman Basilica-style barn that houses both the taproom and the 10-20 barrel brewhouse. A German-style biergarten is right outside. We decided to sit at a table inside. All of the beers are named for and inspired by important historical figures from Ancient Roman culture. Although Caius does not offer sampler fights, they do offer short pours. I ordered short pours of "Hortensia" (Southern German-style Pilsner), "Livia" (Pale Ale), "Arminius" (Robust Porter), "Brutus" (IPA), "Catullus: Citra" (IPA), and "Cleopatra" (New Zealand IPA). Everything was great, but "Catullus: Citra" was my favorite! We also ordered some pizzas from a local pizza truck that was there that evening. They paired nicely with the brews! I had a nice experience at Caius Farm Brewery and I look forward to returning! read more

Sorry Fox Farm, there's a new BEST BREWERY IN CONNECTICUT and that award goes to Caius Farm Brewery!! Thank you guys so much for paying so much attention to detail. I don't ever have to drive to Treehouse again!! Bring back Aspasia. That beer was impressive. read more

We were not treated well in this establishment. A specific employee ironizing all the time and making us feel like he was doing us a favor in serving us. read more

Absolutely fell in love with Caius when I met Gavin, the Brewmaster, and Corey at the Third Annual Afternoon of Casts @ Nod Hill Brewery earlier in March. Both guys were super friendly and did a fantastic job of not only making you want to taste the beer they were serving at the event, but l promoting and educating you on Caius Farm Brewery. Yes, I enjoyed the beer that I tasted from Caius, but even more importantly, I was eager to see the brewery and have the opportunity to see what other beers they had to offer. They told me a bit more about the fairly new brewery as well as a bit of brewery-lore about the story behind the attractive lotus flower logo. If you haven't been there, make sure you stop by--especially if Jayy's food truck will be there. I, for one, am certainly plan to return to Caius Farm Brewery! read more

Amazing brewery with an awesome beer selection and free popcorn. Bathrooms were very clean and staff was very friendly,

We stumbled upon this brewery because of our limited hotel choice on our way up to Maine from VA. This is a perfectionist brewery in the best way possible. The staff was lovely and chill, but you can tell there is a ridiculous amount of thought and attention put into the beer here. The IPA's were some of the best I've ever had. Each was distinct in flavor. They were well balanced, but had individual characteristics. The sours were next level. I said to my husband after tasting the first one, "I bet they don't can these". I knew there was too much attention to detail for them to risk it not canning well as sours are apt to do. Both were phenomenal. The perfect balance of sour and sweet. They bordered on a smoothie without crossing that barrier. I could drink a full pour of either, which is rare on any occasion with a sour. They were perfection!!! We also sampled the helles and lager and both were lovely! Go here!!!! read more

Great beer in an amazing space! Different than the typical New England style beer and they always seem to have something new.

Great spot with some solid beers! Beautiful location that looks like they put a lot of love and effort into building! Love the outside patio area to hang out in. Definitely worth a stop when in the Branford area. read more

It's the best brewery in Branford. The beer is great, they have indoor and outdoor seating, and rotating food trucks. Dog friendly too.

New Brewery Alert! After months of social media posts with teasers of delicious brews, Caius Farm Brewery has finally opened! The newly constructed building is located on North Branford Road with ample parking for customers. Once you walk through the doors, you enter a large, bright indoor space with plenty of seating and a large bar area. In addition, their outdoor biergarten offers a great space to enjoy drinks in the warmer weather. Bonus, the biergarten is dog friendly! The brewery offers a nice selection of various styles of beers, and the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. They do not offer flights; however, you can order 4oz half pours. IPAs are my typical go-to style of beer, and I ordered the Gorgo that did not disappoint! No food is served at the brewery, but food trucks are on site Thursday-Sunday. Caius Farm Brewery is a great addition to Branford and the brewery scene. I highly recommend checking them out! read more
