After a long year of planning we found the perfect spot for our small wedding. We are in love to say the least! everything was a breeze and the staff and management was amazing until the very end. The spot was beautiful, the food was amazing and the drinks were to die for! we are eternally grateful for everything especially Tj and the wonderful team that helped orchestrate everything, we cannot thank you guys enough!!
Visiting from Texas and I had some of their brews before and knew I had to visit the brewery itself. I was not disappointed! Great indoor and patio area, roomy and nice decor. The beers were so good and the pizza was delicious! Hope to be back here some day and when I do I’ll drop by here again! Cheers!
Fantastic local brewery in Hartford. Excellent beers – best Irish Red Ale I have ever had – tasty food – pizza is to die for – and excellent service make this a must-stop for craft beer lovers in the area. Nice diverse selection of beers on tap with about eight canned and ready for takeout at any given moment. Definitely will come back if I ever return to the area.
New Park Brewery opened to the public in 2017. When we went on Saturday afternoon, the place was packed, no seating was available. The tap room was spacious with plenty of tables; there weren’t any seats at the bar, which I liked. There was room to get drinks, but there was a short, quick moving line. There were plenty of tables and seats outside; only downside, it was cold. The parking lot was large and we found parking easily.
They had a wine, cocktail, and draft beer menu; on the draft, aside from beer, they also had cider and barley wine. I really enjoyed the Elmwood Cider, there were two options to choose from, dry and semi-dry; I chose semi dry which had a bit of apple sugar flavor and a little sweeter that the latter. I also had the Cypress Barley wine, it’s barrel aged with malt; personally, I did not like that at all, the flavors instantly upset my stomach and made me nauseous.
If you’re hungry, they have a food menu as well as a happy hour food and drinks menu. We didn’t partake in that because we already had dinner before we got there. It’s good to know for next time, because I definitely want to go back. I also liked that it’s family friendly. Overall, a great brewery with plenty to options for everyone.
Stopped in here waiting to get into our airbnb. Beers were delicious. Cloudscape IPA was delicious and so was the Strawberry Fields cocktail. Also ordered the 6 piece garlic parm wings and 6 piece Buffalo wings and they were so good. Tuscan fries were also very good. Brewery has a lot of space with big tables for large groups. Have an event space as well. Worth a visit here!
