Coles Road Brewing is based in Berlin. I have been there each of the last 3 Novembers for a Wingsgiving my friend plans. The space is perfect for small, medium or large get togethers. I know they are very flexible with my friend. The beer is good. They make a mix of things. Recently, I had an IPA and a slightly spicy Mexican lager. I wouldn't put their beer in the top tier, but it's good. They also sometimes have food trucks. 4 Stars read more

This brewery offers a very large list of beers in tasting room. Large indoor room and patio to relax. I tried a Mexican style Pilsner and a spicy version of the Pilsner. You can find many style beers in room. The brewery had a good vibe for just hanging out. We were there for trivia night which added to the experience. Service was very prompt after I sat down. I was actually surprised they had servers walk over to the table. Apple Pay available. They offer food truck for food. Pets allowed. Very large parking lot as well. read more

Variety of local beers and ciders on tap. The bartender was pretty chill and gave us a few fruit beer samples since I'm a newbie to beer. Opted in for the spoke and spy, pineapple coconut cider. A bunch of seating, indoor and outdoor with cool rainbow umbrellas read more

Super friendly staff popped this is to a 5th star. They have lots of seating inside and a very nice outdoor seating area with umbrellas and a view of an active intersection. There are lots of nearby food choices. So many beers to choose from! They didn't do flights but you can taste and can order 6oz pours. We had a very enjoyable afternoon. read more

Nice venue, plenty of parking, solid beer, plenty of space indoors and out, and friendly people. I think I've been twice, maybe three times, and will surely be back at some point. If you haven't checked it out yet, stop on by! The venue has a variety of seating options, some indoor, some outdoor, some large tables, some smaller, some at the bar, etc. The bathrooms are a little small if the place is really humming, but much nicer inside than you'd probably expect from a brewery in an old industrial building. In fact, the place overall is generally nicer and cleaner than you might expect. Biggest negative is that they don't have air conditioning. The last time I went it was one of those uncomfortable 90-degree days, and let's just say the fans only helped so much and we were staying as still and relaxed as possible while anxiously waiting for the sun to go down. As for beer, they offer a fun variety of types. I'm sure some will be to your liking, while others won't, but at least a couple of their IPA's are very solid and well suited to the current trends. (Sun Was Blue and Don't Monday my Sunday were both good, as were some of the Low Hanging Fruit fruit beers). The parking lot would make me a little nervous with a really low car, but is otherwise perfectly fine for what it is. read more

I finally stepped out of my Work From Home bunker, with Vaccine deep in my veins, to meet up with two former work buddy's at a perfect mid-point, Coles Road Brewery. We seen each other for about 18 months, we let our regular gathers lapse prior to the Pandemic. Now making this gathering much more important. I was pressured, "Don't be late." Late to visit a new brewery I have been savoring the flavor, NOT THIS MOLE! I arrived a good thirty minutes ahead. The interior of Coles Brewery, extremely open and comforting, but the indoor mask requirement still in place. The elevated and covered front terrace was shaded and the open air fresh. The traffic along the road AND the rail line, loud, but tolerable. I had enough time to plot my course of tasting from their two page tap list. Very impressive. IPA's & DIPA's and A TIPA were extremely pleasant and made for a fun reunion full of "Ship's n' Giggles with the Slowpokes." Generally we would sample and have snacks, sometimes followed by food. Not on this occasion, but the DQ across the road was mighty tempting. read more

The location is conveniently located near Berlin RR Station, and the patio is spectacular! However I noticed that my server didn't properly rinse the glass before pouring my beer, so that really affected the temperature and taste. They also offer FREE samples, which is not bad considering how breweries often charge for flights. read more

Coles Road Brewery - "Orange Roads" - the first beer the owner ever brewed in their home. - Breweries Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

What a fun spot! Berlin (BUR-lin) has been redeveloping it's downtown itself in the last few years, and having local brews--two indie coffees and a brewpub--ties it all together. The train rail bar footer and other track decor are a fun nod to the neighboring CT Rail/Amtrack lines, and the wall mosaic is an assemblage/mosaic. The best part of this cute pub is that you won't be thirsty! Coles Road landed around the same time as Covid but lives on today with great brews from lagers to IPA, stout to sour, and you get to choose between pints or half-pint pairs. Although you don't see a cold case, there's a to-go menu ready with bottles and crowlers. If you're passing through or making a quick stop on the way home, they've got you. If you get to stop and sit for a bit, the bars are glossy, there's a game selection by the restrooms, and music many weekend nights. Our little one is happy they serve local Avery's soda. If you're lucky, sweet and savory Crêpe Hut is the food truck parked out front, with the best crepe of your life. On a summer day Prelude Lager pairs so very well with a Tomato Basil Spinach crepe, whose vinaigrette made friends with sour Low Hanging Fruit. Awesome beverages, glossy setting, kind staff, and awesome food trucks parked out front. This place has it all. read more

Great beers and a neat space. A friend threw her brother's surprise birthday party here. We got a portion of the patio area and they let us bring in balloons, pizzas, and a cake. If you do not bring your own food, there was a food truck in the parking lot as well. The service was great. Our waitress was always checking in and helping out. If we missed her, we could easily go the bar a well. And of course, the most important part was their impressive list of beers, a full page front and back. Lots of delicious sours and IPAs! So many options to choose from. read more

What's not to like, one of the Top Rated Brewers on Untapped, as most beers rate 4+, with a local pub like atmosphere. Lots of Beer choices, more depth than just IPA', Fruited sour, pale ale, pilsner, Stout etc, nice selection. There is almost always a dark beer on tap, tonight there was a Maple Barley Wine at 12.4% so smooth, no heat and hint of sweet malts, delicious! The Service is wonderful, knowledgeable people who appreciate Beer. ( Wine available). Nice decor, with outside patio, some crawlers available to go. Plenty of parking available. Normally a food truck on site, tonight a delicious Crape truck, quite good. read more

Well, I guess I should be the first to review it, being that I created the listing....and I'm happy to. A new and welcome brewpub in the Town of Berlin , we made it our destination for a reunion of old High School friends. They were able to seat us at a table of 8, and we embarked on a journey into Zymergy, sampling their various brews. Staff was attentive, and I added on a meat and cheese munchies plate that was packaged Covid Style. There is outdoor South facing seating, as well. They were relatively busy for a Saturday night, despite their lack of business sign (!??) and Yelp listing (??!!), but for those somewhat familiar with the area- "across the street from DQ" is all they need to hear. I will gladly return. read more

Have been looking at this brewer for many years but this is my first visit. They have a good variety of choices and offer 6oz and 12oz pours. The beer is top notch and did not disappoint. The space is clean and fun with decor left from the building's previous life as a feed store, donations from the Berlin Train Station and tables from the owner's family including a spectacular piece of wood making a nice central table. There is also outdoor seating for warmer weather overlooking the main drag next to the train tracks/trestle. Our server Beth was both friendly and knowledgeable feeding both our pallets and minds. I saw a few bags of some snacks behind the bar but we brought our own and enjoyed some heartier snacks from the food truck outside. The only bummer was that they did not offer flights. If you like beer, get yourself here ASAP! I know I'll be back! read more

Coles Road Brewery - 6oz pours - Breweries Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Had a lot of fun at the Thursday night trivia. My two six-ounce beers were very good: the Orange Road (wheat) and Clouds of Delusion (peanut butter and marshmallow milk stout). Can't wait to go again. read more

This place is great! Easy to find and enough parking. Cool trendy, industrial vice. Clean and plenty of space for their tables. Although I will say, if more people find out about this place they're going to have to expand big-time. The staff is all friendly and passionate about the brews/brand. They were able to recommend and IPA for both of us that we each liked. My husband said the The Sun Was Blue was the best beer he's had all summer. Orange roads is a fan favorite and the Dipped in Moonlight was crisp and enjoyable. They had live music which gave the place a hog-energy vibe and made it tons of fun. Food truck today was unique and delicious (Dope Fried Food Truck- I'll review separately). read more

This is one of the newer breweries in the state and they have a truly inventive menu of IPA, stouts and sours. Our favorite was the KPI: Lavender and Blackberry and took two 32oz crowlers of it home with us. In fact, all the beers that we tried were good. I was also a fan of the low hanging fruit batches as well and took one of those back home with me. They offer crowlers of some of their beers on tap. When they ran out of one of the beers, my sister ordered the waitress was very nice and came by to discuss options and provide her with advice based on what she likes. In terms of the food offerings, they have a prepacked charcuterie package for $6 when there isn't a food truck there and require one per table. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. They have in door and outdoor seating. It is on a busy street so it's a little loud but there is a Dairy Queen across the street. read more

Such a huge selection of beers! I have not had one I disliked yet! Love the atmosphere here. It's cozy and friendly and the staff are very accommodating. On a nice day I enjoy having a beer on the patio under the pergola. Most days they have a food truck and if they don't you're welcome to bring your own. read more

Great brewery in a great location. Love the beer and deck outside. Service was attentive on a busy Saturday. I will definitely go back often since it's close to home! read more

My favorite brewery. So many great IPAs, but their specialty is fruit beers and stouts which will be the best you've ever had. Spare yourself the drive to Massachusetts and come try this place. read more

$8 for a 12 oz pour was less than appetizing, but the beer was good. It was loud and festive. No sign from the road telling you the name of the establishment, but obvious it is a restaurant type place. read more

This place is amazing. A couple friends and I came here to try out the menu. They had the most amazing chocolate stouts and delicious sours. We will definitely be back and often! Especially when the Taphouse food truck is there! Wish I took some pictures! read more

Awesome people running the place and great beer. Love that there is no sign ! The bar inside is really long which is awesome and the outside seating looks onto Farmington ave across from DQ. read more

Had a great time here today for #wingsgiving never been here before and the staff and company was great!

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. read more

This is a great brewery! About 20 great beers on tap so definitely something for everyone. My favorite is the "milkshake", not a real milkshake, a beer that has a rich, creamy texture of a milkshake with some light sweetness. The atmosphere here is very safe, inviting, and friendly so feel free to bring friends, family, and children. You can even bring friendly dogs to hang out on the deck. The owners and staff are so friendly and attentive you will be glad you came. If you are hungry make sure you check out Facebook to see their food truck schedule or feel free to stop at any of the local eateries before or after. There are three great ones within walking distance. read more

Fantastic beers. Place is awesome too. They have a good selection of stouts ( more in the winter) which I love. And their low hanging fruits are so refreshing for the summer. read more
