22 Best Craft Breweries near Windsor

“Could this spot be any cooler? I grew up knowing all the lore around Dudleytown so this brewery was a must-try. They have food trucks but you can also bring in your own food/snacks. The beer is...wow. So good. The stouts are especially delectable. The place is huge and the outdoor space is beautiful but it was January when we went so we didn't sit outside. But I can't wait to go when it's warm. This place is a vibe for sure.“

“Really well crafted beers. The inside of the brewery is built and decorated to give you a warm, cozy feel. You will not feel like you're on Main St in EH. It made me feel like I was in a brewery in NH or ME. Worth the trip! Will definitely be back!“

“I visit this brewery occasionally because of how good their beer is. I have a soft spot for stouts and barrel aged beers, since not many breweries like to Brew them. New Park mailed those down perfectly. Their imperial stouts - Ferrous and Crane - are close to perfection with the rich coffee and chocolate taste. Cypress (barleywine) is arguably among the best barleywines I tried. IPA/DIPAs are also decent and hoppy of you're into this.There's plenty of space inside and they have a patio opened during warm months. The place also has its own kitchen and their website is up to date on both menu and the beer, which I personally appreciate.“

“Almost Famous Brewing is this amazing gem-like your fav vinyl hiding in a stack at a vintage store. You MUST try this place. Check out the website and get yourself familiar with all of the choices. They do offer flights so you get a chance to try everything. The most genius piece… Is the customizable, sour beers and seltzers. You heard me… Customizable. There’s a huge array of flavors that you can inject Into a solid sour beer base or a sparkling seltzer base. You will not be disappointed. And the customer service, amazing from start to finish. We felt welcomed as though this were our local neighborhood bar for decades. I would rate this a 15 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Super cute business and they do a lot of different events inside of the room. They have a lot of different beers on top and very friendly staff. I love the little pop-up events that they do. I think it's a super unique spin to having along with the beer and everything is just a fun vibe altogether definitely recommend this place has good prices and everything.“

“I came in here on a Saturday afternoon when I was in town for the Hartford Marathon. It wasn't too busy and it was easy to find a seat. I ordered a flight and a half order of nachos. The half order was a large portion and they did not skim on the toppings!“

“Love this place. Wish I could stop in here more, but when I do I'm always met with a friendly face and an awesome beer. Join the mug club if you can! Love trying out the new beers and Heath & Alan are the nicest around. Don't miss this spot.“

“What a delicious spot to come to!!!I love the GUAVA SOLAFIORE, COCOA BAILEIWICK, SOLAFIORE, and hell, all of themIt's a must stop for me to pick up one of a kind beers. And more, they support local artists, which are on display. Check out the game nights, trivia nights, live music.“

“Wow! What else can I say... this is a great brewery! Our friend introduced this spot to us and what a winner! If you're from East Hartford you may recognize their brews from Burnside like the famous Ten Penny Ale. They're back as East Hartford Brewery with some of their old favorites and more! I got a flight and this was the first time in a long time I liked every beer I tried. My favorites were the Penny Weiz and the Leafy Penny! The inside/outside seating area is so cozy and filled with a bunch of heaters for the chilly weather. What a cool vibe. Staff was awesome as well. And the best part? They're dog friendly!!! They also have a great lineup for food trucks. We'll definitely be back!“

“Recently(ish) moved to Manchester and went here for the first time a few weeks ago. Nice spot both times I’ve been and the vibe is very much that of a local haunt with lots of regulars who know each other. Hopefully I’ll be one of ‘em eventually!“

“My daughter's fiance and I went to the brewery today (Monday) to try out their beer and were going greeted at the door by Ryan whom we found out was the co-owner and and head brewer of Urban Lodge. He informed us the brewery was closed but upon finding out ny daughter's fiance was from out of town he offered to not only give us a history and tour of the facility, but he said he wanted to share their product with us to take with us. After providing our feedback on what varieties we might enjoy, he offered to give us a tasting of Open Trail which we loved and gave us a 4 pack to go of Stowe Away, Holiday Hoolpa, Pop Stout and Fireside. We later sampled all of the selections Ryan provided and they are all excellent. Ryan's customer service and the hands on attention he gave us on a day they were closed turned this 1st visit into a memory my fiance and I will treasure.“

“Awesome brewery and beer. Backeast is also very creative with new beers and trying different ways to mix them. I personally like to see new things to try when I go to the brewery but still have those favorite staple beers they make. 5 stars“

“This is easily the best pizza and bar in town. The pizza is an absolute standout--crispy thin crust and consistently delicious. The beer selection is solid and the staff is always so friendly. We are so happy they do trivia now on Tuesday nights!Definitely worth adding New Park to a must visit.“

“I never believed that i would ever see my partner again, until i meet traditionalist Voodoo Temple who helped me in getting my partner back my who left me for over 6months, she is my everything ..All thanks to this Great, who worked so hard in performing the voodoo spells which brought back my Wife.

“Always a beer (or two or three) that I like at either the Hartford or the Bloomfield location. The different specials aren't easy to locate on social media - this brewery doesn't seem to participate on yelp either The bartender last weekend was so friendly and pointed out a great case special to us before we were leaving that we ended up purchasing. Not sure if they do case specials in the Hartford location - have only ever send them in Bloomfield and that makes sense based on the size of the location.If you bring your own growler, their prices are pretty good for a 64 oz refill.“

“We hosted our friend’s Celebration of Life at WeHa. Cody was flexible with us about the date/timing of the party as it coincided with an already pre-planned event. Additionally, he was very responsive to our many emails! The venue was beautiful, and it was a great location to get 100 people together to raise a glass to our live who passed.“

“Very clean and very friendly place. The bathrooms were very clean. The food was awesome. They can make any drink that you want a perfect place for a date night or even to bring the kiddow's. Because they have Arcade room for the kids.??????????“

“I love pizza. A lot! I drive long distances to eat great pizza. I watch TV shows and YouTube videos about pizza. So please take it from me when I tell you the pizza here is great! Not good. The Napolitano crust is so legit. Crispy, chewy, tasty! Toppings expertly chosen and distributed. This is the best pizza I’ve had so far in this whole area including Springfield.Oh… and the beers are delicious too!And… although I’ve not had one, the burgers I saw come of the kitchen looked amaze-balls!I can’t wait to try one, but I know it will be hard not to order a pizza!Open and bright interior with super friendly staff.If you’ve been driving by and wondering if you should stop in… you should. You really should!“

“This past Saturday, my wife and I held our post wedding after party at Urban Lodge. First and foremost I can't thank the staff enough for their generosity and attentiveness. A special thanks to Julia for working with me and making this even possible. I would recommend this venue to anyone that's staying in the downtown area, you will not be disappointed!“

“This place exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was quite friendly and relaxing. The fries with the dipping sauces were to die for. The IPA's were very solid and I heard the strawberry lemonade was top notch. My only complaint would be to have a milkshake IPA on the beer list but beggars can't be choosers. Overall, this place is top notch, especially when you have great company.“

“I love this place … I have been there many times on multiple occasions and I have enjoyed the food there every time I would say. Food - they have a large selection of food … which is great option specially if your coming in large group .. it caters to all… love their wide range of appetizers and salad or healthy food range… pizoochi .. shouldn’t miss that… vegetarian option is also not bad at all… their is plenty veg options or options with no meat..Coming to service .. evening in weekends get usually crowded and I had to wait once for 20 mins.. and other time I was told a 45 mins wait.. so I went some place else.. though they have great seating arrangements…. Lunch time usually I got place when ever I went“

“We recently hosted an event here, from the start Andy was very responsive and very quick to get back to me. He was prompt and kept me up to date on the entire process. During our event our bartender Bianca was great and every one was so helpful. I highly recommend working with them for events and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend and will come back in the future for any event needs. Thank you again to all the staff.“
