SERVICE: Our server who was wearing a Hartford Whalers hat? was a bit standoffish at first but loosened up a bit once more conversation about the facility took place. AMBIANCE: A little difficult to find with poor signage. Small interior with chairs and a couch set-up in front of the gas fireplace. Live music was being set-up. Would only stop back by if in the neighborhood.

They have so many different seating areas to choose from. The owners & staff are all super nice and welcoming! I love how they support local and host local CT artists work each month. They have a ton of events going on that the whole family would enjoy. Beer and drinks are so good! My favorite is taxi! But I love them all. They have such a cool variety of beers that I'm sure even the pickiest beer drinker would find something to their liking! Seltzers are awesome too! The New Cambridge Project is just getting started! I can't wait to see how they grow throughout their first year but right now they are absolutely killing it! I'm a fan! Will be back for sure!!

Wow what a huge difference about 5 years has made for Transcend. The previous time my wife and I…read morehad been to Transcend was about 5-6 years ago at their original location. That location was to go only but the beers we had then were fantastic. The taproom they have designed is fantastic and this would be a frequent visit if we were local. Transcend has a great variety of style offerings from classics including a Witbier, lagers, IPAs. Then a huge variety of smoothie/pastry style sour beers. A style of beer both my wife and love to try any and all versions of (although we enjoy all styles). This spot is top-notch for that style. The Black Forest cake pastry sour was fantastic. Would love to return to try even more beers and give their food a try too! Staff was friendly, no complaints on that aspect. A brewery well worth your time to make a trip to visit!

Abomination Brewing Company continues to be one of the most creative and reliably fun stops in the…read morelocal beer scene. Their lineup is always evolving, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy pushing boundaries--whether it's a hazy bursting with tropical hops or one of their wild, dessert‑leaning experimental releases. There's a sense of playfulness here that keeps every visit interesting. The taproom has a great vibe: relaxed, welcoming, and just quirky enough to match the personality of the beers. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a couple pours, chat with friends, and work your way through a flight without feeling rushed. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, and the staff clearly cares about what they're pouring. They're quick with recommendations and happy to talk through the weirder offerings, which adds to the experience. If there's one thing keeping it from a full five stars, it's consistency--some beers absolutely crush it, while others feel more like fun experiments that don't quite land. But honestly, that's part of the charm here. When Abomination hits, they hit big. Overall, a must‑visit for anyone who loves bold, creative craft beer and a taproom with a personality! Cheers

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 drink menu did not disappoint either, having a mix of beers, cocktails, and non alcohol options. I tried one of their IPAs which was refreshing and a great compliment to the pizza.

Review #900: This…read moreplace looks and feels like a ski lodge nestled on the foothills of Talcott Mountain State Park. The Hublein Tower can be seen clearly. We went on a Saturday (February) afternoon and it was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table. They were playing reggae music, the fire was going, beers/cider/wine were flowing; a fun and chill afternoon. They offer so many beers from all different breweries! I didn't really know what to expect before going and this place was on my "to check out" list. I was pleasantly surprised. I was happy they were kid friendly because we brought our two little ones. I saw some people eating pretzels and we got some delicious buttered popcorn to snack on. The kitchen offers wings, chips/salsas, lobster rolls, bratwurst/kielbasa, burgers, etc. They have food trucks onsite, but when we were there (early afternoon) I didn't see one yet. I can't wait to go back during the summer/fall because their yard looked fantastic. They had a small stage, picnic tables, and fire pits. For recreation, they have disc golf, Cornhole, etc. In the summer, they also serve ice cream. This place will definitely be one of my go to spots to chill!

The food trucks are insanely expensive. $15 cover charge and then $40 for the small fish and chips and $55 for the large. From a truck? No way! We ordered food indoors. The chicken tacos (3) were $15 with no side. The ice cream stand was very good and had quick service and decent portions.
