12 Best Craft Breweries near Southington

“There are limited hours but worth the visit. The brewer/owner takes real pride in their beer and lets you sample the product and then order individual cans. All the beers are good but there are some that really fit my palate and I was able order a custom amount of cans. I’ll be back and I really appreciate this unique brewery with really really good unique beers. This place is about passionate beers rather than just making sales.“

“Great little brewery/venue. I come every year for Hoppy Holidays and have a really good time. You can get great food from The Lab, which is in the same complex, as is Rosie's Chocolates, among others. Very family (and dog) friendly, too.“

“Great atmosphere! Came for pre-turkey day trivia which also was a blanket drive-- good cause! We like ciders and sours so did a flight with Sucker Punch'd and Scorpion Bowl being our favorites! Service was fast, friendly and helpful (the keg of scorpion kicking with my pour so they have me another of my choice, which was awesome). Would def stop in again!“

“Friendly, kind, nice conversations.Ciders were good. To each its own tastes. We bought a 4 pack of the blueberry which was closely related to "passion fruit" cider.Pizza wasn't to my liking. It was very oily. My husband had to try to take it off. And it was doughy. I personally like my pizza crispy. She claimed it was. .. nope. The pig chips and nuts tasted stale. Suppose to be glazed with beer cider. I don't know, in this case maybe I'm the one with the issue. Though ! We did see the ability to order platter of cheese n crackers, but they were out.. Lol.It's okay. It was a Sunday and they seem to be very slow then. So.if you want a quiet place to just sit and enjoy your moment in quiet, then this is good to go. On Sundays.Vegetarian options: Seen that they have a vegan pizza“

“Great little place place. Menu is there for all to see. They offer what they brew and some other local companies beverages. Went in a Saturday night for a quick stop to listen to a local duo playing some cover music. Food is not offered but there are local menus in a book that you can order from and have delivered. Or you can just walk a few hundred feet to one of several local restaurants. Great area for a small pub crawl.“

“One of my favorite go-to breweries in New Britain! Have only had good experiences with the service here, everyone's always very friendly and personable! Great spot for big groups, as it's super spacious. Also, dog friendly!! My little guy loves to join me and my friends for a night out, enjoying his own special dog beer! The human beers are great too with a large selection, highly recommend!!“

“Hosted a small gathering here and everything was amazing! Reserving tables was quick and easy, and we were able to set up decorations/bring in our own food. Great selection of beers, cocktails, and liquor - and great staff too! Recommend this spot to enjoy a beer, or host a party!“

“5.20.23 it was a rainy day, so about 10 of us decided to try this brewery. Initially it was packed but soon we found a table and enjoyed the live music & food truck. The 2 different stouts I had were amazingly good. Our entire group was surprised we could get mixed drinks and play games. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and a go-back-to venue. Thank you to the super friendly wait staff, too.“

“This is a nice place to spend your time. Beer variety is great: you can find IPAs, Kellerbier, Ales and a stout. All the beers I tried very decent, although I can specifically recommend their Imperial Stout - Mashacre - which tastes exactly like your morning cup of coffee (but boozy). IPAs are juicy and extremely smooth. Weerder series was juicy and full of berry flavor as well.The kitchen is fine, we bought Buffalo Chicken pizza and Garlic Parm pretzel and enjoyed them. The place is located on the second floor, but they have an elevator available. It has one big room with a separate outdoor patio for warmer months.Overall, I liked this brewery. I had their beers in bars many times, and their taproom did not disappoint.“

“Their beers are excellent. They have a six oz option so we tried several and liked all of them. They have staff that serve you at your table so you don't need to go to the bar. Everyone we spoke with there was friendly and knowledgeable about their beer. It is near the train station but you can only see the bottom of the trains from inside the brewery. They close at 8 pm, I hope they consider extending their hours.“

“We just had our baby shower at Counter Weight this past weekend and had an amazing time! The venue is beautiful and the staff was amazing! We worked with Nick to plan our event in the upstairs beer hall and even though we completely changed our contract the week of the event, Nick was super accommodating! The beer is amazing and they also have amazing non-alcoholic options. Thank you for helping us host a baby shower to remember forever!“

“Awesome brewery with photographic charm and great beer! I'm a wedding photographer and one of my couples specifically wanted Kinsmen for their engagement session. They arranged it and when we showed up, the staff welcomed us with open arms. We had a great time exploring the brewery and making awesome photos. You we had to have some beer before we left; it was delightful. I highly recommend Kinsmen Brewing!“
