I'm a sucker for historic architecture so this is awesome. They brew their beers in house and also offer beers from other places. There also have wine and seltzers for the non beer lovers. I am a fan of sours so I had one of their sour beers (forgot the name) it was okay, it was extra sour, too sour. My husband enjoyed their IPAs. Also, we had some house made potato chips and a hot dog. Those were decent; I just wished they offered a dip for those chips! Hummus or something like that? We sat outside on a balmy June day. They had a few tables and our server was great. It's a nice spot to people watch too. Inside was large and spacious. There was a long line to the restrooms though, popular place. Overall, a cool space for some drinks and snacks; I definitely would go back and try out more food and beers.

Nothing out of this world but good enough to have a few pours before heading over to mystic pizza. Service was prompt and efficient, but not overly friendly. Where we unfortunately went wrong was eating here. Cheap fry oils and sloppy sandos that give bar food a bad reputation. I'm not sure why I expected more, but it fell short on freshness, flavor and creativity especially given today's modern brewpub scene. With a plethora of great restaurants in the area, next time I'd probably have drinks here then head to dinner elsewhere.

The clam pieces were big, chewy, & fishy. ***My friend's vegan burger was placed in front of me & my gluten-free burger was placed in front of my friend. The employee dropping the food even asked "gluten-free over here?" before placing the vegan burger in front of me. We self-corrected this at the last possible second, because my friend cut into her burger & just as she was about to take a bite she realized it was real meat. This could've been a disaster for both of us. May I suggest those little toothpicks for marking allergies & whatnot? Visiting Jealous Monk was a very average experience. The whole food situation was just so Sysco - I'd rather just cook at home. I think this is a good spot for large groups & beer enthusiasts.

I ordered the bbq pork belly, and my god, it was exceptional. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the corn grits and sauce. I loved it so much that it was painful to offer bites to the other folks I was eating with. We also ordered the deviled eggs, which seemingly had horseradish in them? Wish that was included in the menu description because that's not my favorite flavor. And also had the hush puppies with jalapeño butter. I think the honey butter option is better, but this one wasn't bad.

The hostess was friendly and our server came by to take drink orders. We were waiting on a few others and that presented no problems at all. They have a great selection when it comes to brunch, breakfast items, lunch items, you name it. Also, they are flexible with orders. My wife asked for a Caesar with romaine vs kale; no problem at all. I went with the Fried Fish Sandwich. Both were excellent! You can tell the food here is local; and not brought in from any of the big national distributors. Service was friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the inside vibe and decor. A great spot in Mystic!

Beer'd Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Stonington, Connecticut in November 2012…read more It was founded by husband and wife Aaron Simoncini and Precious Putnam. After enrolling in a class entitled "Beers of the World" in college, Simoncini became very interested in craft beer and soon began homebrewing. It was during this time that he gained the nickname "Beer'd". Eventually with his now-wife Putnam, Simoncini set out to open his own brewery. The couple set up shop at the Velvet Mill in Stonington. The historic building was originally home to the American Velvet Company, which operated from 1892 to 1996. Today it is a multipurpose building that is home to a thriving community of small businesses and artist studios. When Beer'd originally opened in the mill, they had just a 100-barrel system. The brewery quickly became notable for their small-batch high quality IPAs. In 2018, Beer'd opened a secondary facility at the Airport Business Park in Groton. This new 12,000-sq-ft space expanded their production capacity to 6,000 barrels. An adjoining 60-seat taproom (dubbed "Beer'd Brewing @ The Silo") opened at the Groton facility in January 2020. To differentiate the two taprooms, the original location in Stonington is now often referred to as "Beer'd Brewing @ The Mill". I first visited Beer'd in 2013 (when they were just one of a small handful of breweries in Connecticut), and I've been a huge fan of their beer ever since. They are one of my favorite Connecticut breweries and I have visited them multiple times; they were even a stop on my brewery bus tour bachelor party. I also must point out that Aaron and Precious are lovely people. I recently stopped there while I was in the area. It had been a while since my last visit and there were a few changes. In addition to the original taproom, Beer'd has set up an indoor beer garden in the center of the Velvet Mill. Patrons can enjoy some beer paired with food from one of the mill's many food vendors. Beer'd also set up a designated "Dog Den" for patrons to enjoy a beer if they have furry friends. During this visit, I enjoyed a taster flight that featured "8 Days A Week" (Pale Ale), "Stunner For the Win" (New England IPA), "An Unexpected Upgrade" (Double IPA), and "Heavy Weight-Of-Sound" (Triple IPA). They were all excellent! I plan to continue enjoying Beer'd beers for years to come!

Grey Sail Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Westerly, Rhode Island in November 2011. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Alan and Jennifer Brinton. A chemical engineer by day, Alan brewed at home at nights and on weekends. In 2009, Alan and his wife Jennifer started thinking seriously about opening a brewery. The couple located a circa 1920s building that had originally been the Westerly Macaroni Factory. They outfitted the building, hired a great staff, and were open by the end of 2011. The first beer they brewed was "Flagship Ale". Jennifer oversaw the brewery operation while Alan continued to work full-time as an engineer, all while they raised four children. The Brintons later purchased the historic Cataldo House next door. After a careful renovation, they opened this property as their taproom and outdoor beer garden in May 2016. The brewery also partnered with Vetrano's Restaurant to launch "Vetrano's Wood Fired": fresh wood-fired pizza prepared on-site at the beer garden. The original brewery building is now used exclusively for production, canning, and beer-to-go sales. In 2020, Grey Sail expanded by opening South County Distillers: a sister distillery located on the same property. I have been enjoying Grey Sail's beer since the earliest days of the brewery. I have also visited the brewery a number of times and enjoyed watching them expand over the years. I recently stopped there for lunch with my son while we happened to be passing through the area. After grabbing a table at the beer garden, I ordered a sampler flight at the taproom which consisted of "Hazy Day" (Belgian Wit), "Middle Child" (IPA), "Raspberry Reef" (Wheat Ale), and "Haze, Ho!" (New England IPA). The latter was my favorite. For food, my son and I ordered and shared a "Cheese Pizza" and a "Margherita" (fresh mozzarella, sauce, basil, parmesan cheese, EVOO) from Vetrano's. We really enjoyed the pizza! During our visit, my son and I also enjoyed a few games of corn hole. Between their eclectic beer selection, quality craft cocktails, delicious wood-fried pizza, and spacious taproom and beer garden, I highly recommend a visit to Grey Sail Brewing!

Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return again when the weather is nicer to enjoy the outdoor seating.

LOCATION…read more The brewery sits right along the river, which makes for a great setting to sit back and enjoy a few beers. Especially on a nice day. It's definitely one of the better brewery locations in the area. Now let's talk about the beer. Is it good? Yes. Is it great? Not really. I've had several of their beers and while they're all pretty solid, nothing has really blown me away. My favorite is the Juggernaut Double NEIPA. That's my GO TO when I'm here and probably the beer I'd recommend trying first. Overall, Apponaug is worth checking out. The beers are decent, but the location is what really makes this place stand out. Would I go out of my way just for the beer? Probably not. Would I come back to have a few beers along the river on a nice afternoon? Absolutely.
