10 Best Craft Breweries near Stratford

“Area Two is an excellent addition to Two Roads! The staff is always friendly and inviting. Beer is great, best of all, the food is also terrific! The trivia nights are always fun as well. This is a staple for my friend group to all meet up and have a great time. Highly recommended!!“

“This is a great craft brewery with many different beers on tap and for sale in the company store. They do growlers as well. Food trucks frequently park just outside the front door. Update 3/2024: The place is still great. Same great beers and some new ones too.“

“I’ve been an ABC subscriber since the fall, I’ve had a couple of minor mixups with orders but their customer service has been fantastic! They are quick to respond and are happy to correct the issue. The beer is solid with a ton of options, especially online and for subscribers.“

“What a gem! I was recently in the area looking for breweries to visit and Tribus came up as one of the top spots. The internet was absolutely right. I loved the vibe, beers were great, and food truck was fun. I hope to be back some day. Defensively try Pocket Pickle.“

“Tribus is such a fun place to go on weekends to meet up with friends. I have been several times now and find it delightful. Ordering food from the outside food truck from your phone and having it delivered table side is a great service. Nice selection of both beer and other options. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Great drinks and friendly staff. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend others to stop by. This tap room does not serve food, but Blind Rhino is right next door if you want a bite to eat. We loved their Winter Warmer Ale and had to buy a 4 pack for later.“

“Milford Point Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Milford, Connecticut in April 2018. It was founded by friends Chris Willett and Jerry Candido. The two are both Milford residents and originally met when both of their daughters played on the same softball team. Willett had been a fan of craft beer for some time and eventually started homebrewing. Candido had originally only drank macro brewery offerings like Bud Light, but soon converted to craft beer after trying Willett's homebrew. Willett began entering his beer into homebrew competitions and eventually beat out 40 other contestants at a contest in Stamford. Eventually Willett and Candido decided to join forces and open their own brick and mortar brewery: the first one to open in Milford which now has a growing craft beer scene. It is their mission to produce great-tasting quality beer for local beer drinkers. Most of their offerings are named after points of interest in Milford. I first visited Milford Point Brewing in March 2019. I devoted that day to trying out some new breweries in the area that I hadn't visited yet. Milford Point was my last stop of the day. They have a cozy taproom in a business park and most of the clientele seemed to be locals. I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of four which consisted of "06460" (Citra Session IPA), "Silver Sands" (IPA), "West Shore" (Double IPA), and "Settlers Stout" (Milk Stout). The Silver Sands IPA was my favorite of the flight and I purchased a four-pack of cans to take home. Milford Point makes a nice addition to the city's craft beer scene.“

“BADSONS is an awesome venue for a wedding! One of my couples booked me for their celebration at the brewery and it was a great time. The private event space is separate from the tap room (but still part of the same building and property), which is really nice.As a wedding photographer, one of my other favorite parts was getting outside. The brewery staff were very accommodating, helping us and guiding us around so that we were safe. You can also book a food truck to come and cater your event. Oh, and the beer is great, too.I highly recommend BADSONS if you're a beer lover and are looking for your wedding venue. Give it a look!“

“I will start with the positive, before the confusion. The beers, pizza and brewery appearance were great. However, the massive number of kids screaming, running around & crying was an experience I was not expecting at a bar/brewery. The most baffling moment was the bar was out of flight glasses. I suggested to our server to just use a bigger glass & fill with the flight size pour. I don't need the fancy board. The poor girl could not understand & kept saying we can't do that? So, I ordered 4 4oz beers to make my DIY flight.“

“We always enjoy eating/drinking at Dockside anytime of the day or year but we look forward to the corned beef and cabbage pizza!! Wednesday was very busy at 6:15. But we sat at a great table and our waitress, Nicole, was lovely. She was bright and personable and checked in with us several times. It's just that we waited a long while for our beers! But we were fine as we visited with our friends!“
