Brass Works Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Waterbury, Connecticut in December…read more2015. It was founded by brothers Michael and David Ieronimo and their partners Christopher Urban and Kyle Ondrush. The two brothers started out as homebrewers in their mother's kitchen in the late 1980s. By 2004, David's brother-in-law Christopher and Michael's co-worker Kyle had also come into the fold. The four formed a homebrew club and brewed together out of a garage. The homebrew club evolved into a homebrewing obsession and the next logical step was starting their own brewery. They chose the name "Brass Works" as a reference to "The Brass City": the official nickname of the city of Waterbury. Kyle retired from the brewery in 2021, but the other three partners still continue to share their passion for good beer. I first visited Brass Works in June 2016. I was driving around the state visiting some breweries that were new to me. The interior of the taproom was really nice; lots of neat decorations. During my stay, I ordered a sampler flight of five beers which included: "Wee Windy English Bitter Ale", "Sweaty Sisters Blonde Ale", "Abel Porter", "Uncle Zac's Stout", and "Double Bird IPA". The latter was my favorite of the bunch; great notes of Amarillo hops! I ended up purchasing a growler of that one to bring home. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

And speed bumps, drive with caution. I went for their 2026 restaurant week which was designed for two people but I was allowed the second course to have for lunch the next day. (Reheats great!) I had the mozzarella sticks, smash burger, and churros. All were warm and so filling. I tried their beer, and I'm sure it was great for those who like beer!

I had two samples and ended up falling in love with the Big T IPA. Their craft beer selection is outstanding! The space itself is gorgeous. The outdoor patio is beautiful, bright, and inviting, totally ideal for sunny afternoons or a relaxed evening with friends. Inside, things were quiet when I arrived, but it quickly started filling up. Service was just as impressive. My bartender greeted me with a genuine smile and gave spot-on recommendations. The food? Fantastic. Over the top. I ordered the Poutine. The fries were perfectly crispy, the queso was rich and flavorful, and the egg on my dish was absolute perfection. Everything was fresh, hearty, and designed to complement the beer list. I almost ordered the frittata (which I hear is massive) and definitely plan to try a pizza next time. Even though it's about an hour's drive for me, ClockTown Brewing is worth the trip.

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!!

Woodbury Brewing Company is a craft brewpub that opened in Woodbury, Connecticut in December 2017…read more It was founded by friends and business partners Allan Cetrone, Tim Budrewicz, T.J. D'Alexander and Ken Mair. After he found his previous employer's ethical standards unconscionable, Cetrone decided to quit and find a new line of work. He and his friends frequently got together at a backyard barn man-cave which was complete with a fridge and kegerator. Cetrone had also been experimenting with his own homebrewed beers. Once their man cave became a popular spot for family gatherings, the four friends decided to open their own brewery. The taproom has a rustic saloon aesthetic (a nod to the friends' backyard barn man-cave) complete with a stage for live musical acts to perform. In addition to the housemade beer, WBC also serves wine, cider, craft cocktails, and a large menu of delicious food from their in-house kitchen. I recently visited Woodbury Brewing Company for the first time. I had heard that they host a lot of live music acts and I purchased a ticket to see Hudson Valley-based Rush tribute band "Limelight". I'm a HUGE Rush fan, so I was really excited to see the group perform. I arrived over an hour before the show started. I had a reserved table right by the stage. There was a modest crowd when I first arrived, but the whole taproom was packed by the time the show started. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Nashville Hot GIANT Chicken Sandwich" (hot honey, cajun spice, pickles, mayo) with "Sweet Potato Fries" as well as an order of "Cheese Curds" (served w/ house-made marinara). I was totally shocked when the food finally came to the table. When they say "giant chicken sandwiches", they mean GIANT! I could barely fit the sandwich into my mouth, but it was so delicious! The sweet potato fries were equally big and delicious, and the cheese curds were really good too! Throughout my visit, I enjoyed pours of "Yummy Beers" (Double New England IPA), "Collusion" (New England IPA), and "Barrel-Aged Don't Go Romanov" (Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Stout). They were all surprisingly good! Limelight also gave an excellent performance to the very energetic crowd. Overall, I had quite an enjoyable evening and I'll definitely be back! I already have a ticket to another show!

Before I worked there,…read moreOxford seemed a long way to go to try out yet another CT brewery (they weren't distributed back then, so you had to go there or be lucky enough to find it on tap somewhere) and they sounded very niche and weird. And they kinda are in the best way possible. Their selection of beers is pretty amazing in that you won't find 6 different IPAs, 2 fruity sours and a lager. Here you'll find Asian style lager, black lager, 3 different pils, 4 experimental sours, a traditional Berliner Weiss, an English Bitter, and that's just their own brews. They're also an importer and offer bottles from a variety of European and Asian brewers. Walking in transports you to a European beer hall with high ceilings and long wooden tables. There's also a nice deck out back to enjoy nature and a little game room overlooking the brewery floor. I've never tried the food so no comment there. I do intend to spend a lunch hour there one day when I have an easy afternoon ahead of me. The staff there is very friendly and super knowledgeable about the product. Great spot!

Michelle was our bartender and she was excellent. She gave the best suggestions. After the party, we went to the main part of the brewery and ordered some more drinks and I also left with a ton of beers. Everything I bought was amazing. We were able to try everything before be bought. The staff is so nice and very accommodating. The food truck that was on the premises was amazing. We had fried chicken sandos. I bought a couple to bring home. I definitely want to go back. Our friends live out in CT and they regularly visit breweries, so I know I will definitely be back here. There were a couple of beers that I'm kicking myself for not buying more of but I will have another chance, for that I'm sure.

They were pretty busy yesterday, being the first really nice day of the year combined with their ''Fifth Annual Saison Day''. Black Hog offered up their own Saisons plus quite a bit of guest choices from Allagash, Two Roads, Kent Falls, and New England Brewing. I enjoyed a nice glass of Black Hog's Barrel Aged Biere De Hog (Red Wine Barrel Aged, ever so lightly soured with a yogurt lacto culture. Bright, sweet, and complex. Bottle and keg conditioned -8% ABV). It was very drinkable with a definite sweet overtone. I also picked up a six pack of their Coffee Milk Stout for ten bucks.
