Awesome selection of beer!! (you had me at peanut butter whoopie pie stout!!). Fries were delicious. Friendly service. A little loud inside- but great otherwise.

Loved every bite of our meal at the Farmhaus at Black Pond Brewing. The battenders were friendly and I loved my stout. Fried Pretzel bites are not to be missed, fried were delicious.

This doesn't show up on yelp as a restaurant, but don't skip the food. The birria tacos are some of the most delicious food I have had in a while. Next time I am in town it will be an automatic stop. The beer was good as well. People were nice. Very unexpected place of you just drove by, which would be easy. Kind of by nothing and simple. Inside is very nice and clean. People were great. Had trivia on the Thursday I was there. Did I mention the Birria is amazing. I want more.

It's in the middle of nowhere, the parking isn't great, it's busy, it's loud...but none of that matters cause everything else is so good! This brewery has everything you'd ever want: great beer, great food, and a rotating bourbon selection. Seriously, who knew I would find bottles of bourbon at a small brewery that I couldn't even find on store shelves?? Amazing. And the food! Not your typical cheap and frozen fare. This stuff was made with love. The Birria smash burger is seriously still on my mind - so flavorful!! Although the place was absolutely packed when I was there, the bar tenders were still super fun to interact with and took their time answering questions etc. seriously great vibes for a small town brewery. I can't wait to go back!!

We started with a flight to share and try out a few beers. We each picked our favorite and ordered full size beers. They also have a kitchen that makes some pretty good things to have with your beer. Nice area to sit outside if the weather is nice.

Visited Black Pond Brews this past weekend during a wedding weekend. Laid back pub atmosphere. Great craft brew! There wasn't a beer I didn't like. Easy drinking Pub Ale, and Hellas light were favorites. Birras Tacos, best taco I have ever eaten, hands down! The shredded beef was tender and overstuffed the tacos, adobe sauce was amazing. Well done to the chefs. All the staff and bartenders were awesome, especially Amanda. If you are in CT and driving on 395( or anywhere close), check out Black Pond brews (exit 41) for lunch, dinner or a beer. We will be back next time we are in New England. George J Drake

The noise gets loud. They need some sound absorption stuff on the walls. Trivia night always a blast every Thursday?

Sweet spot. My in-laws live about a mile from this place and I was thrilled to visit it with my nephew and Father in-law (at Father in-law's suggestion). The inside isn't huge but on a rainy Saturday afternoon we easily found a table. We ordered an October Fest, the Dropkick Kitty which was an Irish stout and I had an excellent IPA called "that Hyphy beer" described as follows: West Coast IPA. Aggressively hopped, crisp, citrusy, and piney. Featuring Simcoe, Centennial, Cascade, and Bravo hops. I really liked this one. I'm drawn to what I (and I'm sure others) call, a mouth-punch, for an IPA. I want bitter and when I see "aggressively hopped", I'm in. My nephew and FIL both liked it a lot, even though they're generally not IPA fans. The bar staff (one smiling, welcoming person) was great and inviting. I want to stress that this is a small town joint and I felt comfortable, which is really nice. The other patrons were super chill and welcoming too. They have food, which is awesome. Pretzel bites with beer cheese and/or mustard butter (though they should give way more dipping sauce) and pizza, burgers, Weinerschnitzel, fettuccini Alfredo, birria tacos, salads!!!!If I didn't already have dinner plans I would've ordered more than the pretzel bites.

The acoustics are horrible. Every sound echos and amplifies. There are 17 people here, plus one bartender, and it's louder than a Metallica concert.

This is a place for young people who like loud music & lots of noise .Food was a good attempt of German food, just dry and a bit overcooked. French fries were very good. Red cabbage was good, just very little of it.October Fest beer made with Maple was very good.We had to eat outside. Noise level inside was unbearable.
