Relic Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Plainville, Connecticut in February 2012. It was founded by brewer Mark Sigman. Although his professional background was in advertising, Sigman had been an avid homebrewer since 1994. Eventually he decided to open his own brewery. Sigman chose the name "Relic" to reference his world travels. Aiming to craft artisanal ales inspired by flavors from around the world, he thought of himself as more of a chef than a brewer. Sigman doesn't brew beer based on which styles are trendy, but rather beers that he personally enjoys with tastes that he views as complimentary or exciting. I have visited Relic Brewing multiple times since I first became serious about craft beer in 2013. At that time, Relic was one of maybe 10 breweries in the state (today there are over 100). Of those original 10, only half remain in business. The taproom was very small during my initial visit: about 10 square feet and they only served small free samples. I recently stopped there with my older son because it occurred to me that I hadn't been there in at least 10 years. A lot had changed! In 2016, a full bar was added and Relic began to serve full pint pours as well as craft cocktails. A large back room addition opened in 2019, which featured a fully furnished lounge and a pinball arcade slowly evolved. When I first arrived, I ordered a taster flight which featured "Oktoberfest", "Nebraska IPA", "The Whim" (New England IPA), and "Double Whim" (Double New England IPA). I grabbed my flight and headed to the back room with my son. He was so excited to play the pinball machines and other various arcade games. The two of us had a nice father-son bonding experience playing pinball as I also enjoyed my beer samples; the "Oktoberfest" was my favorite! If you like great beer paired up with pinball, then head down to Relic Brewing! read more

I haven't been to Relic in a long time. Last time I was there it was still just one tiny room serving their beer and a selection of whiskies. They've since expanded the size of their tasting room into another huge, open space full of high tops and comfortable lounge seating along with a bar mixing up creative cocktails. The new space also has tons of pinball machines and other games. We stopped in after a movie on a Friday at about 6:30. There were a few groups hanging out but it wasn't too busy at all. It was pretty chill vibe, and I got the sense that a lot of locals frequent them, which is cool. We hung out for nearly two hours and by the time we left the only other folks there were at the bar in the front room. The beer is still good! I did want to try some of their cocktails though. They have some pretty creative cocktails made with interesting homemade syrups, shrubs, and the like. I tried the Honey Don't which was tart but well balanced. I wished it was a little spicier, but I am a spice fiend.Then I felt for something a little sweeter so I went with the Poolside gossip. All the different ingredients really combined into a unique and delicious flavor! I really enjoyed what they have going on. The space was comfortable and relaxed and there's something on their drinks menu for literally everyone, plus entertainment. They have small snacks available, but you're also welcome to bring your own food. So it's basically like a very relaxed bar. We'll definitely be stopping in more frequently! read more

Great brewery! Finally had a chance to go back a second time, and the positive experience of the first visit easily repeated itself! Short review: If you're looking for a fun night out with good Connecticut beer, check it out! The beer selection while I was there was great. A bunch of IPAs, and a bunch of other non-IPA options as well. I stuck with the former, and had three delicious and notably different IPAs. "Bloomist" was my favorite, though Fatal Fly was also quite good. They also have a FULL liquor license. An unusual and fun perk that many breweries don't have. Sick of beer for the night? Have an anti-gluten companion in tow like I always do? Sure, they have the wine or other common non-beer options, but they also have an impressively well-stocked bar. So the booze situation is good. The venue itself is also quite nice! There's the main entrance and bar area with a bunch of nuce wooden stools and a few tables. This area can get a lottle crowded, but I think I prefer it to the back. The back is quite large and allows for larger groups, some easy mingling, etc., but gets noticably louder. Other comments...the parking lot is pretty decently sized, and the staff working the bar were all very pleasant, welcoming, helpful with decision making and just generally fun and engaging. I could see this being a fun place to frequent. My apologies for this review not having any photos...I was with some people I hadn't seen in a bit, and never reached full Yelp mode... doh. read more

I stopped by her this past Wednesday evening with my coworker after work. Relic Brewing doesn't look like much from the outside and whenever we entered I can't say that I was that impressed. There was a bar off to the right with an insane amount of whiskies behind it (they seemed randomly placed and not ordered even though I am sure they were) and then some seating off to the right. There was a decent crowd at the bar but no one in any of the seats. After ordering our beers our bartender told us about the back room which we headed to. This was much nicer than the front area with multiple sets of comfortable looking couches and chairs, a couple of high top tables, exposed I beams/ductwork, whitewashed brick walls, random schematics on the wall (Porsche 911 and a ski lift) and then some fun lighting elements. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery I decided to order a flight here. At Relic Brewing a flight consists of 4 different beers and I choose the Cherry Gose, Golden Rose IPA, Leaf Storm IPA and Griffins Horde DIPA. The first beer that I tried was the Cherry gose which started out with a nice cherry flavor and even though I didn't get the dryness in the taste, my tongue and mouth definitely got it after the liquid was gone. Up second was the Golden Road IPA which had some sweetness up front before finishing with a nice and light hoppy flavor. Third was the Leaf Storm IPA which started off clean followed by a flavor I associate with melon before finishing with a decent pop of hops. Last but not least was the Griffins Horde DIPA which started off with a citrusy flavor before finishing with a super strong dose of hops. Out of the bunch I would have to say that the cherry gose was my favorite with the Leaf Storm being second. The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future. While it doesn't look like much from the outside, it's actually pretty nice on the inside and has some good beers too! read more

Good fresh beer, excellent food- Mexican- big room in back where a band could play - had a New York City feel.

I have been there a couple times with my sister, dad and a few friends but decided to put the Relic Brewing Company to the test with a large group with many different drink preferences and taste. And boy did they live up to the hype that I told my family and friends. Beer is only scratching the surface of what this place is all about. They have an assortment of spirits, liquor, tequilas wine, cider and the list can go on. They shine with their beer and spirits but with the handmade margaritas for the ladies of my group they know how to make a great drink. The group had two flights, a couple margaritas along with some harder drinks with a delicious maple manhattans and a few other that I can't recall. The drinks are just scratching the service as there are some comfy couches and tables for large gatherings along with shuffleboard, darts, corn hole and my favorite free pinball machines, beautifully restored and maintain with a high score continuing to elude me. I absolutely love this place being so close to home and could stay here for hours. A must visit place and maybe something in a growler to bring home. read more

Great brewery run by an awesome crew ! Marc and his team do a fantastic job and are knowledgeable about a wide variety of tasty treats ranging from good whiskey to tequilas ect. Seriously if your not a beer drinker still make the trip because their whiskey selection is outstanding. A true OG of a brewery in a state filled with so many places now. read more

Awesome beer and staff. Relic Brewing doesn't disappoint!

Tried out this brewery the other weekend. Good selection of beers and liquor. I'm not a huge beer drinker, like the rest of my group, so I ordered a glass of wine. They have a decent size indoor area. We played table shuffleboard and there was cornhole and an arcade game. Overall, good time! One suggestion would be to offer whiskey flight suggestions. I overheard multiple people order a flight and then get a little overwhelmed when asked 'what whiskeys do you want', considering there appeared to be over 100! We'll definitely be back in sometime! read more

Still s bit hard to find, back off the road. The beers are solid. My fave is Kettle of Vultures, a very smooth Barleywine. 5 - 7 beers are on tap with others offered in cans. Tasting/ glasses/ growlers are available on most. If you like wiskey/scotch you need to be here, simply an amazing selection from around the world. Individual pours or tasting flights are available. read more

Yes, I maybe partial, but really they have some amazing beers. Mark does an excellent job putting these together, such great flavors. Tonight I had 6, which is a triple IPA. Honestly, I cannot remember being disappointed by a beer from relic. Small place with a friendly staff. The hours are a little bit wonky, be sure to check their Facebook page. I recommend this brewery as a stop on any brewery crawl. They are very proud of their creations, and as a result are very generous with their samples. Go in and try, you will not be disappointed :-). read more

First visit, complimentary samples of the six brews on tap. However, the 3 oz glass only contained 1.5 oz. Who's complaining, me I guess, but I did enjoy 6 samples. Pints are available and 32/64 oz growler fills. The staff, very friendly and willing to Brew Chat, as well as, the other patrons. I arrived at 5:00 on a Thursday (Thur 4:-7:) & was one of about 10-15 people in the tasting room. The Tasting Room could use a bigger bar so people can comfortably spread out. Snacks, complimentary pretzels. A food truck would enhance the draw & help to retain "Brewbys." I grabbed two 32 oz (Rydlle Brett Sassion & Double Dry Hopped Flaxen Foul IPA), & a 2 day old bottled 4 pack of Tropicale DIPA. Cheers my friends & stay thirsty for Relic Brew. 2016-Jun-30 Stopped by for a flight tasting of 6 & filled 2 growlers. Friends showed for the tasting & a bottle share. Good time meeting new people & trying out their bottle for share. Great flavors & few disappointments. read more

Relic Brewing Company - Crazy man with one of his bottles. - Breweries Near Me - Plainville, Connecticut

Relic Brewing is a must visit after its recent *huge* expansion. Their combination of great beers, a newly-added space with a ton of seating, and having quite possibly the largest liquor selection of any brewery, bar, or even restaurant I've ever been to make Relic a must visit if you're in the central Connecticut area. Relic has been in Plainville for several years now, but I never considered it a brewery hangout because their location was *so* tiny inside... their customer space was essentially the inside of a broom closet. It was great for stopping in to pick up cans to go, but it was never a spot for friends to gather and drink because there was hardly any space. Fast forward to a few months back, and they were able to expand further into the warehouse building they operate in and it feels like they instantly quadrupled their customer space. They've added several couches, high-top tables, and an area for games, all of which can open directly to the parking lot via large garage doors. Relic is now finally large enough to accommodate large groups and dogs, a staple of the successful breweries in our area. Aside from their new space, the beers themselves are really good! They offer a rotating variety of styles, most of which I've liked. Beer is totally subjective, so I won't go much more into that. What I can add, though, is their absolutely *MASSIVE* collection of liquor, some of which you hardly ever see in bars or restaurants, let alone breweries. They offer several mixed drinks and liquor flights, but you can essentially get whatever you want. I'm so glad Relic has added this new space, and I'll be going there very often going forward! read more

Relic has some solid beers. I really havent had a bad beer yet from them. But some are really good. Mark and Steph will take the time to discuss the brews with you which is nice. I love the breweries that the owner is so present. They have done a nice job updating the taproom. Very quaint. Nice to be able to sit & chill. read more

I love Relic! They have a bunch of great beers and often do collabs. The staff cannot be nicer! They used to be super small where I would only get four tasters then get a growler fill or cans before leaving. However now they've expanded and there is plenty of room and they sell some foods (sausages, guac, grilled cheese ect). There is also a good trick some days! Great local brewery I'm sure I'll be back to when I'm in Plainville. read more

Relic rocks. There's a friendly, awesome staff that know beer and love to chat. I haven't met anyone I didn't like there. This place has an interesting vibe. Similar to Firefly Brewing, Relic is in an inconspicuous location; on a main road-- but if you didn't know where to look, you would drive right past it. The numbers on the door are half written in sharpie. There is no real way to tell if it's open (but they are: Thursday, Friday and Saturday). The room inside is small, a little dark. These elements all together give it a special, exclusive mystique which adds to the experience. When you walk inside you will see that local artists decorate the walls with their work-- most of which is for sale. There is nowhere to sit, but it's not that kind of place. You don't linger forever- you get your beer and move on. The service is pretty fast so you can have the whole experience in less than an hour. I have been there when it's packed and when it's empty, and either way it's fun. Now the important stuff, the beer. Free samples and reasonable prices on growlers. Re-use the same bottles, or return them to get your $5 back. The beer is good-- the owner serves seasonal batches that make sense for the time of year and the available ingredients. Summertime, expect saisons, ales and lagers that are fruit infused or light and crisp. Wintertime, expect darker brews, like the legendary coffee stout. So good. read more

After trying the Houndstooth at The Crown and Hammer tasting event, we decided to check out their Friday open house and pick up some beer for home. Drove by the place the first time, its sort of a non descript industrial building a ways off the road and the signage is minimal, but if you go by the numbers its easy to find. The "brewery" location is tiny. but as long as it's enough space to make these delicious small batch craft brews, it's big enough. Sampled the houndstooth, shipwright, fortnight and antiquity. Left with a Houndstooth growler and some Whiting St. All the beers were good and unique. Super friendly people, great local beer, free samples .. what a great way to start a Friday. read more

I thought about it, and while there are still a few kinks to work out with visiting the brewery, I can't give Relic any less than 5 stars because I love their beer so much. After first trying their Houndstooth at the Yelp event at the Crown and Hammer last summer, I have been on the lookout for Relic beers at bars ever since, and I'm always happy when I can find them. I visited the brewery for the first time on a recent Saturday afternoon. My boyfriend and I got there with an hour left to spare of open house, but they were already out of at least two beers, and they were running out of what was left. We didn't buy anything because there wasn't enough of the beers we wanted to fill a growler, but we were still able to try some samples, which were worth the trip. The highlight of my visit was the Fool's Gold, which was a wonderful, slightly dark, buttery, double altbier. For the rest of the day, I couldn't stop thinking about how good it was. There's a huge demand for Relic beer - we were told that people line up with lawn chairs an hour before they open - and now I understand why. The tasting area was very small and cramped for the dozen or so people who were there when I visited, but they're expanding to a much bigger tasting room. The owner/staff talked about how they're trying to expand production so they don't keep running out of beer like they are now. You can tell these guys really want to make more beer. I'm glad they do. read more

Support your local brewery! Ok, I live in RI & grew up in Litchfield BUT my father had a small business not too far away in Bristol so I can claim Relic as my "local" brewery. No matter where Relic is located it's still awesome. As other reviews state, it's not marked from the road at all. There's no way you'd just stumble upon it unless you're on a mission to find it in the first place. Once you pull into the parking lot & are paying attention you can't help but see the Relic Brewing sign & know you've arrived. Walking in the owner/brewer Mark actually recognized me from meeting me at CT Beverage Mart a few weeks ago. He seems to be good with faces since it seemed he recognized almost everyone who was in and out during my trip. Every time I turned around someone new was in/out getting a growler re-fill. Again, the place is tiny & there were about 6 others there on my visit & I felt I was always in the way. Samples were flowing & Mark was multi-tasking filling cups or growlers, drinking & chatting up the beers. Mark was serving 3 of Relic's beers (they ran outta Houndstooth by Saturday afternoon) & they were all unique & tastey. I was gonna go home with a Whiting Street Lager grolwer either way but also purchased a bottle of Fortnight IPA for good measure. My nephew came with me & we brought home 2 small growlers of Whiting Street & the French Farmhouse Ale to share with my brother in law. Check out their website & Facebook for tasting hours. Right now they're only doing them on Fridays & Saturdays. Definitely use GPS to find the place! And don't worry too much about brining just cash. Mark takes plastic if you feel the need to splurge! read more

I found this little gem on Yelp. The beers are great, and the staff are super awesome and friendly. They change their beers frequently, so call ahead if you're looking for something in particular. You can buy/fill growlers, purchase by the glass or purchase by the bottle. Tastings are free! read more

Relic Brewing has the best hoppy IPAs in the area. My favorite one is Bloomist. They are now open for indoor tasting - you cannot sit at the bar as before, but there are tables at a back room. read more

I've come here 4 times in the last 3 weeks (once for yoga). First of all, I love beer. I once told someone, "I don't like people who don't like beer...just kidding," but I keep thinking about that statement, and maybe I wasn't kidding. So I was new to the whole growler thing up until 3 weeks ago. Basically, it's a glass jug that you can get filled at breweries with expectedly fresh beer. The growlers are sold at breweries and have said brewery's logo on it. In CT, it is legal to use different growlers for different breweries. However, I know in Massachusetts, it is state mandate that you use the specific growler brought from that brewery. FYI, Relic accepts any growler, as long as it is the standard 32 or 63 oz bottle. Owner is really knowledgeable about beer because he makes it himself! He basically told me the difference between hops and malt, which no one cared to explain to me before. Or knew for that matter. Basically, hops add bitterness and malt adds sweetness. Who knew? I was so excited for such a wonderful brewery to be local to me! This is one of the oldest breweries in CT at 5 years old. So yeah, support CT breweries! Especially this one! read more

There's a hole in my heart that only a growler of Queen Anne's Revenge Porter can fill. As Plainville's only nanobrewery, Relic offers free tastings every Friday and Saturday - and they've developed quite a community of devotees in the short time they've been open. My boyfriend and I are huge fans of the beer - and when I'm too lazy to head down to Plainville during Friday rush hour (which ok, admittedly is nearly every week), I love being able to pick up a bottle or two at Harvest in West Hartford. But man, there's nothing like getting my growler refilled with fresh, fabulous beer. I have an odd allergy to SOMETHING (not gluten...maybe some kind of yeast strain) in a few of Mark's brews so I can only imbibe small amounts, but I'm particularly hooked on Queen Anne & Antiquity. The brewery itself is certainly tiny - the size of a garage perhaps, but that actually lends to a cozy feeling during Friday tastings. It's a bit off the beaten path so not as many people know about it as, say, Hooker in Bloomfield. OH - and fun fact - if you're an ice cream hobbyist like I boast to be - the Queen Anne porter makes for a FANTASTIC ice cream. A rich, dark porter + some espresso liquor soaked cocoa nibs, heavy cream & egg yokes and VOILA! The best, booziest homemade ice cream you'll ever have. But yes. Go to Relic. For Houndstooth, for Shipwright, Antiquity, Queen Anne, etc. Or just to say hey to Mark. He's great. read more

Yelp made me do it. Granted, I didn't protest. Not at all. I'm still not protesting. Since Freesia S.'s February review, Relic has moved into their larger tasting room, which had plenty of space for the fairly steady stream of tasters and customers who came in on a Saturday afternoon. I came with a small group of Yelpers on a UYE, and found a pair of knowledgeable and interested people behind the bar, one of them the owner and brewmaster. They know their product, they care deeply about it, they love to talk about it, and even if they weren't serving me beer I could talk with them for hours. Better yet, they were serving me beer. When I asked how often they changed brews, the answer was a prompt "all the time." I tasted each of the six very different styles available today, and each showed both an affection for its original style, and an inventive quirkiness as well. There was always an additional layer of flavor I didn't quite expect, and it often worked very well indeed. For example, I've had some unfortunate experiences with wheat beers, but their Calypso wheat added a nice hop finish that suited the sweetness very well. It wasn't hard to go home with a couple of 32 ounce growlers. It was much harder to figure out what to put in them. I finally chose from both ends of the spectrum: Halcyon, a somewhat mellow English style ale, and their Queen Anne's Revenge Porter, which has a lot of dark complexity. Thanks to signage restrictions, it's a little difficult to see Relic from the street. It's a low, old-style brick building, set back from the road with a large parking lot. Of the two marked doors, choose the one on the right. I wonder what they'll have on my next visit? read more

Our first trip to Relic dates back to spring 2012, when in a garage we met a very personable, enthusiastic ex-marketing exec who decided to take his passion for beer to the next level. We returned many times despite the increasing crowds of people who appeared more into free beer and less into appreciating the craft of beer. The beer WAS delicious and we couldn't get enough. Since we would finish our growler almost instantly, our weekly ritual would include a trip to Southington Wines for bottles of Shipwright and Houndstooth to hold us over until the next weekend growler-fill. It appears that was a honeymoon stage. Over the last four months, the tap selection has increased at the same time the quality has declined. We have many Relic growlers that sit in our garage empty. Perhaps the focus is on too many beers? Or perhaps beers are served in the inception stages rather than after they have been fully vetted? We have been the unhappy recipients of some odd concoctions in our sampling glasses some that have left a bitter or chemical taste that lingers for a couple hours. Houndstooth will still be our summer bbq beer of choice. I just hope that Mark takes this as a bit of constructive criticism from an admirer. read more

The beer selection is great! They also have a huge whiskey and tequila selection. Would definitely recommend trying them.

The folks at Relic are generous with samples. I tried each of the something like the seven beers they had to offer that day. I didn't feel rushed into a sale. If you purchase a full growler you'll pay around $15.00. Refills are in the $9.00 range, that's a fair value for a jug that holds approximately sixty ounces of beer. Its also good to know that Relic will fill any growler for you, so bring one if you've got one. I took a growler of the Clockwork IPA out to the parking lot. I had two glasses, and felt a good buzz. This is some strong tasty beer. The ingredients are high quality. A germo-phobe might be a little put off by the way sacks of malt are haphazardly piled in the corner. In my opinion the stacks just add to the ambiance. As pointed out in other reviews this place is in a factory complex of sorts. You cannot see it from the road, and need to be on high lookout. Ladies, this place seems to be patronized by working men. read more

Beers with malts, hops, and accents of all types, You'll be joyous when it goes down into your pipes. The Belgian IPA is truly a winner, A perfect stop right before dinner. Stopped by Friday night for a tasting. Turns out they had an author of a beer book on-site for a meet & greet. Pretty phat. We were told we could try a free sample of all five beers on tap as long as we drank them one at a time. The samples are probably two ounces or so. But, still a great deal. Tried the Belgian IPA (very crisp and flavorful with a nice hop bite), Black IPA, and Strong Lager. All of them were very good, but the Belgian truly stood out. I could have put an entire growler down. The tasting experience isn't perfect, as you order at the bar and then just stand in a large, empty room to drink your beer. No chairs, tables, ledges, etc. I think the point is to get people to find a beer they like, buy a growler, and then exit. But at the end of the day, the beer is excellent, and that is what truly matters with so many crappy breweries popping up everywhere. Will be back fo SHO. read more

I have never had a bad beer at Relic. Mark and his crew of great people are always fun and quick with the taps and the Scotch that is my favorite...well, they have i would guess 350 bottles. Every week I find something good on tap and virtually never just sample. The offerings are consistently good. read more

A nice little place off the beaten path. The staff was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I had a huntsman stout it was really good it had a very complex flavor. This is a very small place that is easy to miss from the road, because the sign is so small. If you like top shelf bourbons and wine this place has an amazing selection at a good price. read more

I dont know if it was an off day but I did try a flight of there IPAs (hazy). Honestly.....3 out of the 5 where......i had to drink them like shooters lol. Friendly staff but the two I did enjoy I will buy at the stores. Fun atmosphere isnt there. Not much to do but sit and drink which honestly isnt a bad thing since its a brewery. But its a hit and run. read more

I'm not a huge fan of IPAs and that's mainly what relic serves so it just depends on your taste. I do like the original small brewery space feel they have although it is a mystery as to where they brew the beer when you walk in. Tucked away it's a neat hidden spot. read more

I went here last night and have to say that I was very impressed and am looking forward to my next visit. A couple of friends from work and I had been talking about getting to Relic for some time, but the promise of a very limited batch of pumpkin beer made from local pumpkins is what finally got me through the doors. This place is tucked away off the street with small signage and when you walk in you get the feeling that you are crashing a private party, in the hidden level of a video game or on a food channel show about the best local places that no one knows about it. Essentially this place is one room that includes the bar, and has a chalkboard detailing the brews available. Aside from that, the ambiance consists of local digital prints for sale (ranging from $25-$250), a variety of empty bottles of craft brew from around the world that would make any beer nerd giddy, and posters of Relic. Relic gives you the opportunity to test all of the brews they have available in little two ounce glasses and after you've tasted them all you can purchase a glass and get a larger free sample in that. Growlers and half growlers are also available for sale. As a whole, the beer was great and my favorite was the Transatlantic IPA, which I purchased a half growler of. I can't speak to everyone's beer tastes, but if you like interesting, strong flavored beer then pretty much the full line of beers at Relic is something that you will enjoy. My only disappointment is in that I did not venture out to this place sooner. read more

Beers are always outstanding!! Steph and Mark are Great! Super stoked I live so close by. These guys are killing it!!!

I really enjoyed my stout from here. They have 5 choices on tap and give free samples which is nice. I typically get a flight when they're available. The brewery is pretty small so we stood outside and finished our beers. Overall a great choice and start to a roadtrip! read more
