I went for a friends gathering. Never been to Dudleytown but I really liked it. They had a band playing on a Friday night . Plenty of tables outdoors , some tables in the front by the fire and tables inside. The bar and food are indoor. The menu was pretty good. I ordered a salad either grilled chicken since it was gluten free but they had chicken tenders and gluten free pizza that were gluten free options. The hotdog picture I posted , my friend ordered it and she enjoyed it. We were enjoying the presentation more though! They really liked the fries they said . Service was awesome. No complaints! They were great! I thought it was a nice brewery! Definitely an awe's place to go and get together and chill. They do have a list of bands and events online for the summer lined up. Great place!

Came here for the mayhem market event and it was definitely a great experience. There were oddities all around and special vendors.

Mixed berry sour
Elizabeth G.

I went for the taxidermy event. So it was $5 to enter and I went alone as well. It was a bad experience to be alone. Besides that, my sour was tasty. It was 5% which is high for a sour and I would compare it to a berry cider. I would get it again. The music was so loud that i felt more drunk than I was and Harry Potter was playing on the tv. The service was fine. Many people so it was slow but that's totally expected

I absolutely love their sours. Not all breweries have sours so it was nice to try both of them.

Great brews, decent food, nice space, little pricy. Came here as part of a work event. The venue is nice but there's nothing around it beyond a giant sports bubble. 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.

Gorgeous looking tree

I came here because one of my friends works here and recommended it. So I came with a bunch of friends on trivia night to sip on some drinks and answer questions. I had no idea what to expect, but this is a beautiful brewery. The silver tree inside is probably my favorite part, honestly. So I'm the worst and I'm allergic to beer, but luckily they have some hard seltzer options. I tried both, can confirm Zombie is incredible and officially one of my fave hard seltzers I've had. I liked the wormhole one as well, but I'm a huge fan of cranberry so that's why I liked the zombie one more. Can't wait til they start serving food here and the kitchen opens officially, I love it!

Oktoberfest
Jazzlyn S.

What a grand and beautiful space for a brewery. There are so many different styles of seating areas available for customers to enjoy. The Fruited Sour was phenomenal and really WOWED me as a non sour drinker. I loved the tart/sweet/sour juicy notes on the Berried Bones. It was a gorgeous fall day and perfect for a crisp Oktoberfest, and my fiancé was happy to try their craft cocktail, the Invisible Hand. Friendly for families with well behaved kids. They have a great restaurant too. We will be back for another day date!

The Dudleytown Brewing Tree
Elizabeth S.

First off, this brewery was a wow factor for me. The overall theme is a nod to the legend of Dudleytown, CT a purposed ghost town with a dark past and cursed origins. Starting with the elaborate architectural portico that sets the tone of grandeur and highlights the entrance. The brewery's interior design embraces the idea of a dark forest theme. The wooden bar has a natural edge and emphasizes the tree that it was cut from. A metal welded tree is a unique and impressive piece of industrial art - its limbs stretch out across the ceiling and provide mood lighting. A video showing the construction sequence of the bar and the welded tree plays on the screen next to the bar. The brewing tanks are set behind a glass enclosure allowing one to witness the brewing process. There is a large bier garden with tables and canvas covers providing shade. It overlooks playing fields. Plenty of parking and the restaurant Saults LLC shares the space. The selection of beers is decent. Having a 2025 CT Beer Passport I started out with an Irish nitro stout called "Death of a Saint" For my passport BOGO I tried the "Grim Harvest" pumpkin lager that was served with a maple flavor sugar rim. So good that I purchased a 4 pack to go. Our server was Robert who was friendly and helpful with the brew descriptions. We ordered food from Saults and both of us enjoyed our selections - grilled marinated flank steak for him and the summer harvest pizza with fire roasted shishito peppers added for me. The brewery has weekly events and music. All worth another visit in the near future.

Dudleytown Brewery opened in 2023 and is located in Windsor, CT and was named after a historic ghost town located in CT. The tap room was spacious with plenty of seating; their outdoor seating area was massive and I'm sure a delight during the warmer months. Parking was plentiful when we went. I love breweries and craft beer so I've been wanting to visit for a while. I love that their beers are named with the paranormal in mind, very clever. I had the Passion of the Geist which is a sour beer with passion fruit, apricot, tangerine, and orange. It was enjoyable to drink and it had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The second beer I had, which I probably should've started with that first, was the Stolas; it was a peanut butter and chocolate porter. It was strong and I can taste the peanut butter. They had quite a few on tap that I want to try. I look forward to going back! Currently, they're building a restaurant. There is a food truck they collaborated with called Sault's Eclectic Cuisine on-site. There is a limited menu right now, but once the restaurant is built, they will be serving pizza and more. Outside food and drinks are not allowed. My son had a grilled cheese from there and he enjoyed it. It was clean, spacious, and kid friendly. I liked that they had a jug of water and some cups available. There is also a merch shop area. They also hosts quite a few events. Overall, a very nice brewery serving some good beers.

We had a great experience at Dudleytown Brewing Company. The service was super friendly & efficient. There's many options for seating - serve yourself, bar, table service, etc. The beer was great & the Buffalo chicken dip was the best I've ever had. Great establishment that I'd highly recommend.

Caesar salad with shrimp and app riser Mexican corn cakes
Nancy F.

As with any open space the loudness of voices can be too much at times. Luckily they have created a space outside for their bands. The service needs a little work. From the time of ordering our appetizer arrived within 5-10 min which was great but then our food arrived right on top of the appetizers. This always annoys me. The place is not that busy that they have to rush the meals. Our server was attentive and was always checking on us - sometimes a little too Much but that is a learning curve. The food- the Mexican corn cakes weee super thin and without the sauce really had no flavor. I will say that the pineapple salsa was delicious and that added to a nice sweet flavor. It does come with a siracha aioli but it was too spicy for me per my husband and we had gotten it in the side. My Caesar salad was generous and the 5 grilled shrimp were good. I think the shrimp was a little overcooked since the shrimp were touch. The Caesar dressing was drenched over the romaine ... next time I would get it in the side. We will try this again.

Margherita pizza.
Sammy G.

Casual yet elegant brewery. Service was outstanding. Waitress was very attentive. Had several samples upon request. The wings were above par. The burger was savory. The pizza... thin with a bubbly crust and ingredients so fresh you'd think they had their own garden.

Pork belly bao
Colin C.

"Legen" and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant because the next word is "dary!" I like to write a bit before I offer my review, but Dudleytown is a great white elk in a County full of moose. My girlfriend and I have been here many times since they've opened, and I've availed myself of many a can and appetizer. Connecticut has no shortage of good or great beer, but ever since Bad Dream closed, there's been a dearth of excellency. Sure, OEC often hits the mark, as did the late and great Phantom, but Dudleytown seems to have the unique ability to try any style and come out with an award-winning crowd pleaser no matter what. Sour, hoppy, or dark and stouty, they (as my old science teacher, Mr. Nolan, used to say) nailed this one to the fridge. I haven't tried much of their new food menu, but I will say that the pork belly baos are quite good. Authentic? You're asking the wrong guy. But I can say that pork belly is somehow both chewy and savory, and that's hard to do. (I've tried to make lǔ ròu fàn many times at home.) One dish does not a restaurant make, but that and a proper pizza oven tell me they'll do well. My only gripe is that we've been a few times this year, and I always come here after visiting the Vintage Radio & Communications Museum, and it's always been the same old beers lately. Ever since the kitchen opened, the beer menu has quieted down. Come on, try something new! Tell your brewer to outdo your chef. But don't let this stop you from visiting, dear reader. Whatever you're into, you won't be disappointed.

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.

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!

Problem Solved Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in East Windsor, Connecticut in…read moreSeptember 2018. It was founded by friends Alan Bukowinski and Heath Gelinas. By day, Bumowinski is a math teacher at RHAM High School in Hebron while Gelinas is an engineer at UTC Aerospace Systems. The two home-brewed for several years before starting their own brewery. They set up shop in a space that was previously home to Broad Brook Brewing Company before they moved to a larger space in Suffield. The brewery has a mathematical theme, which is a nod to the owners' day jobs. Bukowinski and Gelinas try to keep their beers rotating consistently. They usually feature at least two hoppy offerings, a "middle of the road, easy drinker" type of brew, and at least one dark beer. My wife and I first visited Problem Solved Brewing in October 2019. I had previously visited the space when it was still home to Broad Brook Brewing, and it was nice to see that it was home to a brewery again. My wife and I both loved the mathematical theme; there were framed beer-related patent drawings and protractors mounted on the walls of the taproom. We decided to order a sampler flight to share. The five beers we picked were: "Parabolic Split" (Milkshake IPA), "Conductivity-Centennial" (New England IPA), "Second Root" (Cream Ale), "Coarse Threads-White Chocolate Raspberry" (Imperial Stout), and "Coarse Threads-Pumpkin Coconut" (Imperial Stout). We really enjoyed all of the beers! The Milkshake IPA had notes of banana, chocolate and coffee, which is not what we were expecting. The Cream Ale was made with Sumatran coffee beans, which gave it nice hints of coffee and chocolate. Problem Solved also had an adjoining game room filled with games like Giant Connect 4, Darts, Ring Toss and Pass the Pigs. My wife and I enjoyed our flight with our favorite brewery game: Giant Jenga! We had a great time at Problem Solved and would definitely stop again if we're in the area.

Powder Hollow Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Enfield, Connecticut in November 2014. It…read morewas founded by Michael McManus. He graduated from Vermont Technical College with a degree in construction engineering and soon began working for a large commercial contracting company. Since his teenage years, McManus had dreamed of opening his own company. Home brewing had been a hobby of his since he was 19. Eventually McManus joined forces with head brewer Lance Boylan to open his own brewery. A circa-1929 building in the Hazardville section of Enfield was obtained to house the new brewery and taproom. The property was once home to the Hazard Powder Company. The company (and the neighborhood) were named for Colonel Augustus George Hazard. They were one of the largest producers of gunpowder throughout the 19th century (producing 40% of the Union Army's supply during the Civil War). The company closed down in 1913 after a major gunpowder explosion. McManus named his new brewery "Powder Hollow" as a tribute to the history of Hazardville. A secondary taproom opened in downtown Middletown in November 2019 but closed this past March due to the effects of the pandemic. Another taproom opened at the Yankee Candle Village in South Deerfield, MA in September 2020 and continues to do well. I first visited Powder Hollow in 2015 when they were still fairly new. I remember really liking the Civil War decor around the taproom. Recently the brewery invited me back to taste some of their newer brews that have debuted in the past year. There have been some changes since my last visit. In 2018, McManus' sister Michele McAuliffe and her husband Mark opened R Dee Winery right next door to the brewery. They removed the wall separating the two businesses so that now it is one larger taproom. During my visit, I was helped out by the brewery's Marketing & Events Manager Kenzie. She was very helpful and discussed the different brews that I would be sampling. Some of the offerings I sampled included their Honey Brown Ale, "Spring Ahead" Pale Ale, "Josie's Pale Ale", New England DIPA, "Lift Your Kilt" (Scottish Ale), New England Citra IPA, "Bayonet Blonde", and West Coast Style IPA. The "Spring Ahead" and the Citra IPA were my two favorites. I purchased some cans of the latter to take home. I would have liked to sample some of the wines at R Dee as well, but they were closed during my visit. Just another reason to come back. I enjoyed my visit to Powder Hollow as well as the history lesson. I look forward to returning!
