Stopped in with family while in town. FOOD: Nomad Bites food truck had some very good pub fare...Burger, Ch. sandwich and a special- Short rib fries, served with a friendly smile. SERVICE: Friendly husband/wife owners were very chatty and had some friendly workers there as well. AMBIANCE: Industrial Park location, with some outdoor seating/games. Small interior with comforting decorations and carpentry. Good selection of merch. Live band was a bonus. Just an OK rating because there are too many beers to choose from and in trying some of their standard flagships, I found hardly any of them were above average. (just my opinion) but do stop by for the friendliness and good vibes. read more

First visit and we can see why they are ranked #1 for CT Breweries!! The owners are the cutest flower child folk who were very helpful and friendly. Liz, a brewery specialist was our server and let me try the only available CT white wine available on this visit. The wine wasn't special but good. Johnny really enjoyed their beers and he tried the Gose which is a tart cherry that he really enjoyed. On this visit they were supporting a women's and children's shelter which was nice. Go with confidence read more

Michele and Scott, the owners, are the best! There is always something happening there and they make you feel at home. There is an awesome selection of beer and other drinks served. What other brewery offers baked goods made by Michele! read more

Really nice assortment of beers. I visited not long before Christmas so there were a fair number of seasonal winter options, and I went with those. That said, my parents aren't as adventurous, so they went with the staples (mostly lagers). That we were all able to find something good is a testament to their variety. I really liked that the owners were behind the bar. That really seemed to add to the vibe, and they were very attentive. The tap room isn't fancy but doesn't need to be. Just a regular family-friendly vibe. read more

I have been to this brewery several times and it's always a fantastic experience. the husband and wife duo that owns/runs the brewery are so friendly and kind. I have never had a bad beer there, every single type is excellent. read more

Tried majority of their beers and they are all wonderful, especially for people who like malty options. They have a couple IPAs and I enjoyed those as well. Owners are extremely delightful and attentive - they don't serve food but they gave us free cookies! Love this place :-) read more

Charter Oak Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Great beer and nice staff! Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Scott and Michelle, the older couple who run the place, were very welcoming. Scott really knows his beer. Had the doublebock (doppelbock), and it was a roasty, malt-forward example of perfection. We also got a growler of a hazy East Coast IPA to take home with us. Ambiance: modern, open, inviting industrial Overall cleanliness: above average Overall service: excellent Nice outside seating area. Weekends include live music, mainly classic rock cover songs. read more

Charter oak was a nice experience and I'll probably come back, but it was about average as far as local brewery's go. The ambiance was very nice, they have a main tap room and then they have seats out near the tanks. They also have live music which is awesome. The decor is nice and the vibe is chill. The people are very nice, prices are good, and they also had board games which is a plus! The only downside was the beer, not all the beer but some of it. The English Ales and the IPAs were awesome and I was very happy with them, but the lagers and other ales had a skunky taste. Nothing about this place was "bad", but there are better beers in the area. I'll give them one thing though, the presentation of the flight was adorable! They had the beers labeled on little beer capa Overall I'd come back, but wouldn't be my first choice. read more

My wife and I came by for a Sunday Brewery Brunch and it was wonderful. Charter Oak partnered with Mothership on Main delicious food and dynamite beer. The service was excellent. We enjoy sitting at the bar and Charter Oak didn't disappoint - as visitors, we really enjoyed talking with Scott and Michelle about beer, Danbury, and current events. I came for the 1687 Brown Ale and left as an even bigger fan of the range of beer Scott brews, including my favorite styles like Rauchbier and Doppelbock. Let me add how much we enjoyed the spread put on by Mothership om Main. Really hearty, tasty offerings like chicken pot pie, several quiches, and everyones favorite pastries - ours were the Morning Glory Carrot Muffin & Cheddar Scone. There are a couple of more Sunday chances to enjoy this Brunch in February. Don't miss it. Fantastic! read more

Great atmosphere really delicious beer especially the strawberry IPA. Owners are really cool the Food Truck didn't show up on this rainy day so the owners wife was feeding everyone her home made banana bread which was delicious. The bands play in the brewery area on rainy days we got to sit in the brewery because the tap room was full. How cool is that? After visiting a couple of bars in the area this one seems to be the classiest and on top of their game. They even sell cool Hawaiin shirts as souvenirs If your looking for a brewery in the area I say try this one first and then compare the others to this place to see the difference! But some advice eat first or they let you bring in food or have something delivered! read more

Nice brewery with well crafted beer. Incredibly engaging staff that make you feel at home. If you're in the area don't miss this one. read more

Charter Oak is one of my favorite breweries. Very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Delicious beer. Sometimes they gave a band and/or a food truck which makes it even better! read more

I can't say enough good things about this brewery! We were visiting for a wedding and found this through Yelp. The employees are so kind - making suggestions based on what we liked, giving us samples of other beers and even giving us complimentary homemade zucchini bread! The beer was delicious, the indoor space is cozy (with lots of board games) and they have a really nice outdoor space as well. If you're not a beer drinker, they have cider & wine options as well. Highly recommend! read more

Very neat brewery and I'm glad I started my mini-brewery tour of the area here. I got a flight of 4 of well-made brews. Nothing out of the ordinary style-wise but good beer nonetheless. My favorite was actually a brown ale I took home in cans. The space itself was very clean and still looks like new space. Parking was very easy on a Friday afternoon. If you haven't been here before, it's worth a trip. read more

Underpays and uses musicians for the own institution's benefit. Recently has been misleading customers, scamming them out of money in order to cover fees they have recently received from neglecting to pay artists. If you support musicians and artists, NEVER GO HERE. read more

I have visited this brewery many times and am always welcomed warmly by Scott & Michelle (owners) and the beer tenders. They have a nice variety of beers and the quality is above average. And.... depending on the night.... Michelle makes an array of treats that she hands out to everyone for free!!! The patrons are really friendly too. read more

I'm giving this place 5 starts because they have great service and great beer! The staff deserves praise for their kindness. This place is very underrated. read more

Charter Oak Brewing Company - four bottles of beer - Breweries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

While in town for a friend's wedding, my boyfriend and I had a bit of time to kill before the afternoon ceremony. We found Charter Oak Brewing Company on Yelp and decided to give them a try. We arrived right after they opened on a Saturday afternoon and were warmly greeted by Michelle, one of the owners. She and her husband, Scott, run Charter Oak Brewing Company. They were so kind, attentive, and engaging during our time there. We started out sampling a few different beers before settling on our choices; I opted for a wheat beer and my boyfriend got a flight. All of their pints are $7 - regardless of which beer you order - which we thought was great! Their flights are typically 4 pours for $10, but Michelle was awesome and gave my boyfriend a 5th pour to try out. While we enjoyed our beers in their cool, modern space, Michelle and Scott took the time to get to know us and tell us about the town, the history, and their story as brewers. It was such an incredible experience; Scott even gave us a tour of their facility so we could see where all their tasty beer came from. I cannot say enough amazing things about Charter Oak Brewing Company; from the beer to the hospitality (Michelle gave us snacks, including her homemade zucchini bread!), this place is the real deal. I wish them continued success and cannot wait to come back and visit again someday! Until then, I'll sport my Charter Oak Brewing Company t-shirt with pride out on the West Coast. read more

Such an amazing atmosphere! Scott and Michelle are some of the nicest most genuine people around and Scott knows how to brew the best beer! There's always people laughing and having a good time. If you're looking for a new brewery to try do yourself a favor and go to Charter Oak! read more

Charter Oak Brewing Company - entrance at night - Breweries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

We were in town for the night for Apple picking and came across this place on yelp-- It lives up to the 5 stars! We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the owners from behind the bar. She came out to say hello, introduced herself, and shook our hands. We sat at the bar and tried basically all of the beers! They were very good and they had a nice variety of options. They also had nonalcoholic options as well as wine. They gave us chips to snack on and were very friendly. We were able to learn about the history of their opening of the brewery and what was involved in that. This is a husband and wife team who seem to work very well together and to thoroughly enjoy what they're doing. It was very refreshing and nice and relaxing. The building itself is beautiful and everything is brand new. They seem to do a lot of community events and community service out reach to the area. If you're in the local area I would highly recommend stopping by for a drink and some conversation. They also have games to play if you are sitting at the tables. read more

We went here because we knew the band that was playing. We always go to breweries when we travel. This brewery is only 30 minutes from home. We met and spoke with the owners, a husband and wife who were amazing! They are both there all the time, working, smiling, talking to the patrons. They make this place a great place to be! She also bakes and shares her treats. Oh yeah, and the beer is great too!! I can't say enough positive things about this wonderful brewery! You have to try it!! read more

Great beer and great people. Can't ask for more. Our 1st time there and will definitely be back

The nicest people in the world own and run this! They make everyone feel like family and feel so welcome. It is super family friendly, has a ton of games for the kids. The live music and food trucks are awesome. I cannot say enough great things about Charter Oaks... and the beer is fantastic! read more

absolutely incredible service and the best beers at a microbrewery in ct we've had so far :) absolutely lovely owners, a really nice chill backyard, and delicious beers (highly recommend the new england IPA!) can't be missed! read more

This is an experience and one I would surely recommend. Let's start with the beer...I'm an IPA gal, though during the winter months, partial toward a stout. COBC's stout is very good...smooth and drinkable. The browns were also good, though I preferred the stout. Now let's talk vibe and craic. This is the place. Live, chill, throwback music, inviting games, a jigsaw puzzle open to all, what I presume is a husband and wife team who could NOT have been more welcoming (without being obsequious), and...wait for it...the owner circulating with homemade cookies! COME ON!!! I am seriously a cookie kinda of person - a preferred dessert. When the owner saw my reaction to the lovely crescent cookies, she shared my delight...and wait for it again...packed some up for me for the road. Cheers. read more

Lovely brewery, we had such a fun time and saw live music for the first time in 15 months outside in the yard area. They had everything nicely spaced and they were very attentive even though the event drew a lot of people. I believe the owners were there and they were wicked nice, even brought out complimentary blondies for everyone in the crowd. The band was great, the beers were great as well, plenty of varieties available and they also have a blending menu which I have never seen before. They do flights as well but if you want to do one outside you'll need to snag a picnic table, otherwise it's plastic Adirondack chairs and small outdoor tables which were perfect for a drink to watch the band. Overall highly recommend, they had the band going, a food truck, and an axe throwing station all available on the Saturday we were there, overall a great experience and can't wait to go back and try their kolsh offering. The only thing they could improve would be the parking lot, not a ton of spaces available so get there early read more

I have high hopes that this will become our go-to Brew experience in Danbury. The interior is roomy and welcoming and owner and brew master Scott has 40 years experience in being quality beer. We sampled a kolsch and two brown ales. The darker brown ale was excellent, full bodied with a smooth after taste. Our visit was at the soft opening and we got a lovely tour of the facilities from Scott's cheerful wife Michelle. The attention to detail and excellence was impressive. We'll be back soon to check out the full menu! read more

Charter Oak Brewing Company - Scott and Michelle, the owners. - Breweries Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This place has such a great vibe that you can't help but love it! The owners are some of the nicest people and the beer is always solid. Charter Oak has been around for a while but this location is relatively new. I have run across COBC over the years at package stores and tried some products at beer fests. Although I've always felt the beers in the past have been solid and well made, the ones at the tap room are often more exciting and varied. Well worth the stop for beer people of all experience levels. read more

This brewery is a real gem. I stopped by for a couple of beers and left with a growler. I'm looking forward to my next visit. The couple that own the place are super friendly and welcoming. read more

super nice folks and great find while in the are for the day. family vibes with good beer selection and tasty food truck option.

I've been coming here since they opened and I have to say, they never disappoint. The Kolsch is some of the best I've ever had. Michelle's kindness and genuine desire to make sure we have a good experience is not at all lost on me or anyone who visits. It's this type of customer service combined with a good product and atmosphere that keeps me coming back. The vibe here is exactly the kind of warm small town feel you'd want from a craft brewery like this. In the age of massive "craft" breweries, chain stores and giant corporations, it's refreshing to have a place that brings you back to the roots of what craft beer and small businesses were meant to be. Cheers! read more

Great beer, the nicest staff and awesome atmosphere. Lots of space inside to hangout and grab a flight or glass, lots of different beers to try, even a speciality beer. Other drinks as well (for non-beer drinkers), and some small snacks. You can tell the owners are sweet passionate people and super excited to have you there. Can't wait until Friday to go back! Notes: parking may suck when really busy but the day and time I went there was enough parking; Would suggest carl pool instead of everyone riding separately. Also no outdoor space or patio, just inside but spacious. read more

Stopped by on our way to dinner at Hoodoo's. This place is so nice and the owners are the sweetest couple ever. The wife came to our table to take our drink orders instead of us waiting at the bar. She even came around with a platter of blondies (that she baked!) to hand out to the customers. Lovely place and beers were good! Definitely a chill and laid back atmosphere.

This is a great place to chill out for a bit and enjoy conversation and some delicious brews. The owners are very helpful for those of us who aren't as knowledgeable about different beers, helping us experiment with new flavors. Because they don't sell any food, I noticed that some customers had brought munchies with them (and the owner brought around snack packs for all the customers to enjoy) - that's a great idea! I hope Charter Oak is a huge success! read more
