This place is really cute, the service was great, they had a choice of sours and ciders as well as beers. There is seating inside and a cute little area outside that's decorated with pretty lights. I saw a food truck but it was closed when I got there so I can't givea full review as I didn't try the whole experience read more

We enjoyed a very nice visit to Cheshire Craft Brewing yesterday. It's located inside a strip mall style industrial park, so it's not obvious where the brewery is (no big signs or dedicated parking lot). There is a small sign over the door, otherwise you'd think you might be walking into a printing shop or electronics repair place. When you walk in, you'll see the glistening tanks and brewing equipment on your left, a lot of tables and chairs on your right, and the bar and more seating straight ahead. Yesterday, their beverage choices included four IPAs, a Roasted Amber Ale, a Lite Ale, a Berry Sour, two ciders, a few wines, and a distilled spirit cocktail. I went with a full pour ($5) of their 125 Lite Ale. It came in at 5.4% ABV and was described as "A crisp & creamy unfiltered light American ale". I'm not an IPA guy, so I wanted a Pilsner or Lager, so this was perfect for me. Very drinkable, very refreshing, and priced right. My wife ordered a half pour ($5) of the Sparkling Tea DROPS Cocktail by Continuum Distilling. It packed 7.6% ABV firepower and was described as "a unique SPIRIT distilled from Connecticut's best craft IPAs, paired with a Lemon or Sweet Tea base then carbonated to sparkling perfection". I mooched a sip, and it was outstanding. Our server was pleasant and helpful, steering me to the Lite Ale after I eliminated the IPAs and describing the Lemon Drops so well. They have a Ted's Steamed Cheeseburger food truck on site every Friday-Sunday. They set up in a big open area behind the brewery, and there are maybe ten or so tables and chairs out there. Drinking our cold beverages and enjoying a nice cheeseburger was quite the sweet way to enjoy a sunny Saturday afternoon. read more

A brewery, in my parochial hometown? It's more likely than you think. In fact, we have two now, but Counterweight is more crowded than most beehives, so relax and go to the calmer, quieter, smaller brewery. Nestled in a little plaza after Richard Chevrolet and Copeland Auto, Cheshire Craft is a nano-brewery with the tanks on full display right after you walk in. I've tried everything on their menu (at the moment) and I've never had a bad beer here. There's usually a food truck out back, too. I always stop here when I'm visiting family, and you should stop here, too. read more

Cheshire Craft Brewing is always a favorite to grab a drink and relax with the company you are with. I always enjoy the selection. Not just one variety of beer. I'm always a big fan of the sours. The staff are always helpful and friendly. Not too loud inside but also rarely empty. read more

I thought this was a cute smallish brewery with a welcoming environment. I ordered a flight which came with 4 samplers and chose a few sours, porter/stout. Some of them were good and some of the sours I felt was too much on the sour side. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

What a great little addition to Cheshire (albeit, not near a lot, but many breweries are similarly in little industrial plazas). Make this place a destination! It's very unassuming on the outside but pop inside to see beautiful, shiny vats to your left and a large bar further down on the right. We were happy to see they had an outdoor patio out back so we could enjoy the beautiful weather this past Friday. After grabbing a table (there were about 8 or 10 outside in addition to these sort of side rectangle things with stools which could be used, too) I went back inside the scope the menu. They didn't have any sours on the menu (but the gentleman behind the bar said they have one coming out in about 2 weeks, woohoo!) so I opted for a glass of white wine. He told me it was a wine called "Ballet of Angels" which I later looked up was from Sharpe Hill Vineyard in Pomfret - a very pleasant wine! The woman at the bar who heard me ordering said it was one of her favs. I can see why. I believe my glass was $7. Great price. My husband ordered and was a huge fan of the Ancho Porter - a very chocolatey beer with a slight spicy aftertaste. I'm not much of a beer fan (only into sours) but even I thought it tasted nice too. Great chocolate-y stout flavor. Overall, my husband and friends and I had a great experience here - good selection of drinks, nice seating area, friendly staff, and good prices. If you're hungry, they also have Ted's Steamed Cheeseburgers out back. Only downside is no dogs allowed so my tiny companion had to remain home. Will come back and bring more friends! read more

Great beers and friendly staff Really great ambience when the weather is nice and the outdoor area is open. Try a flight so many options to choose from and there is always really good sour on tap read more

I don't know, maybe it's all breweries, but here at Cheshire craft, one gets that homey feeling. Come in. Grab a beer or in our case a flight. Maybe pick up a game to play or join in with the other patrons for a great conversation. Most of the people here are local folks, I am not, but that didn't matter, we were welcomed in for all discussions and were even given back stories. Great little place for a quick hello read more

This place has been on my radar since they first announced they were opening, but I don't live in CT anymore so my window was limited. I was finally able to visit them on my last day of my visit a few weeks ago. My friend and I split a flight and had a good time chatting with our beertender. We lucked out and had an opportunity to grill one of the brewers as well. He was personable and seemed genuinely interested in our feedback and our experiences with other breweries. Their back patio was stunning and must be hopping when the weather is right! I'm looking forward to my next visit - this is on my must-do list from now on. It's conveniently located near Counterweight and not far from Kinsmen, too! read more

Great vibe and very good beer nestled in little Cheshire, CT. Tip: try the sours! Also, the outdoor patio is super pleasant when the weather is nice. The staff are very warm and welcoming. Great selection of parlor games! read more

My parents just moved to Cheshire and they are 5 minutes away from this spot, so we went a couple times to try it out- both times the owners and staff have been so welcoming to us and friendly. They have great beer and a lovely spot out back to hangout for warmer weather. We had a great time at karaoke & on Cinco de Mayo. This will definitely be a regular spot for us read more

This brewery recently opened and it's a cute place. I wasn't expecting it to be in a strip of businesses but I like the outdoor area. The taste of the beer was decent but seemed a little flat which I like because I like less carbonation, but people I was with did not agree. We discussed the club memberships as a group and felt it was pricey compared to others but I give them credit for trying to build a community feel. I will go back again in the future to see how the beer is. It's nice to have a place to hang on this end of town. read more

Had a. West Coast IPA that smell like a gym sock. They offered me something else but I was done. Being dead on a Saturday evening should be a clue. Staff seemed nice. read more

Great brewery. Beers (IPAs) are very good. Smooth and crisp. The staff is very friendly and engaging.

Met up with a few friends and truly loved this place! The owners are very friendly and welcoming. I decided to have the blueberry cider, after trying a few samples of the beer. I'm not a beer drinker normally, so the cider was perfect! Saw a few people drinking wine, which is a nice option. Hubby is a beer drinker, and found exactly what he liked after a few samples. Ted's steamed burger truck was there the day we went, it was delicious!! The chips were amazing. Loved all the board games etc. that are available to play also. We'll definitely be back. read more

Very good quality beer, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend the Ancho Porter

This is a new gem in Cheshire! They have many different beers that everyone in my family was able to find a favorite. They are extremely family friendly and have lots of board games (they brought over a high chair without us even asking). We will definitely return! read more
