Message: [QUOTE="UconnAlum04, post: 2933489, member: 1876"] Ok great! With that said, here are (IMO) some good options for breweries you have to try in CT. [U]Sours/Belgians[/U] [I]OEC[/I] (sours) - they only brew sours here, but people who like sours rave about them [I]Kent Falls[/I] - a farmhouse brewery with a mix of farmhouse ales and IPAs (some hazy) [I]Overshores[/I] (Belgians) - They used to be an all Belgian brewery, but have since changed over to Belgians and a Gypsy brewery location...meaning that other brewers now use their space to brew their own beers. You will find some of their Belgians as well as other brewery IPAs/Stouts/Sours on tap [U]NEIPAs (hazy IPAs)[/U] [I]New Park Brewing[/I] (really good IPAs and also make good stouts/sours when available) [I]Fat Orange Cat[/I] - around 8 beers on tap, with 6 of them being good hazy IPAs. Also have cans to go [I]Fox Farm Brewery[/I] - usually have 2-3 hazy IPAs on tap as well as a stout and farmhouse ale [U]IPAs[/U] [I]New England Brewing Company[/I] (NEBCO) - makers of Fuzzy Baby Ducks and Gandhi Bot...nuff said. They usually have around 10 beers on tap (8 IPAs). Also make some good stouts ie Imperial Stout Trooper [I]Counterweight Brewing[/I] - (former brewer at NEBCO) good IPAs, stouts and a pilsner [I]Beer'd[/I] - good IPAs and some stouts [I]Relic Brewery[/I] - small place but he makes good IPAs (some hazy) and some Belgians when available. Also has an extensive list of whiskeys and bourbons to try [I]5 Churches[/I] - good IPAs and pretty damn good house made brick oven mini pizzas [U]Destination breweries[/U] [I]Two Roads[/I] - largest brewery in CT (our mini Sam Adams but with better beer), huge Tasting Room and tours [I]Stony Creek Brewery[/I] - really nice location right on water with outside seating....but beer IMO is meh [I]Kinsmen Brewing[/I] - pretty big beer hall (think octoberfest) with pretty good beer This is not an all encompassing list by any means (I'm sure I missed a few), but with soo many breweries in CT (I read we have around 65 now) these are the ones I would check out. Also they are spread out all around the state (with various hours) so I would check them out on a map to get an idea on where they are all located relative to one another. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions! [/QUOTE]
