    Great brews, decent food, nice space, little pricy. Came here as part of a work event. The venue is nice but there's nothing around it beyond a giant sports bubble. The brewers were brewing, and the space inside was nice. They also had an expansive outdoor area and plenty of parking. The drinks were well done, lots of flavors and varieties on tap. No one complained about the beers though the drinks were small for the price. The food venue towards the back was pumping out pizzas from a giant pizza oven with a blazing fire. I ordered some appetizers from the menu for my team to share. Meatballs, elote, and waffle fries. The apps were not easily shareable but we made it work. Waffle fries were generic and not crispy enough. The elote was corn pancakes rather than corn on the cob. My mistake for not fully reading the menu. Flavor was good but messy. Meatballs were good in terms of flavor and consistency, got a decent amount for the price too. The meatballs were the best bite. The pizza is trying to be New Haven style but is missing the structure. Way too floppy and heavy for the style of crust. Needs to be lighter on the sauce and cooked just a couple minutes more to really solidify that bottom and get rid of the tip droop. Cheese had a good elasticity to it though, good cheese pulls. As an informal event venue, it's pretty good but pricy for what you get. As a local brewery, if it can keep its events constant then it will do well. As a food venue, it's high for where it is but the quality is reasonable. A few more shareable apps beyond pizza and just a few small tweaks to the pies and they will be great.

    I came here because one of my friends works here and recommended it. So I came with a bunch of friends on trivia night to sip on some drinks and answer questions. I had no idea what to expect, but this is a beautiful brewery. The silver tree inside is probably my favorite part, honestly. So I'm the worst and I'm allergic to beer, but luckily they have some hard seltzer options. I tried both, can confirm Zombie is incredible and officially one of my fave hard seltzers I've had. I liked the wormhole one as well, but I'm a huge fan of cranberry so that's why I liked the zombie one more. Can't wait til they start serving food here and the kitchen opens officially, I love it!

    What a grand and beautiful space for a brewery. There are so many different styles of seating areas available for customers to enjoy. The Fruited Sour was phenomenal and really WOWED me as a non sour drinker. I loved the tart/sweet/sour juicy notes on the Berried Bones. It was a gorgeous fall day and perfect for a crisp Oktoberfest, and my fiancé was happy to try their craft cocktail, the Invisible Hand. Friendly for families with well behaved kids. They have a great restaurant too. We will be back for another day date!

    The Dudleytown Brewing Tree

    First off, this brewery was a wow factor for me. The overall theme is a nod to the legend of Dudleytown, CT a purposed ghost town with a dark past and cursed origins. Starting with the elaborate architectural portico that sets the tone of grandeur and highlights the entrance. The brewery's interior design embraces the idea of a dark forest theme. The wooden bar has a natural edge and emphasizes the tree that it was cut from. A metal welded tree is a unique and impressive piece of industrial art - its limbs stretch out across the ceiling and provide mood lighting. A video showing the construction sequence of the bar and the welded tree plays on the screen next to the bar. The brewing tanks are set behind a glass enclosure allowing one to witness the brewing process. There is a large bier garden with tables and canvas covers providing shade. It overlooks playing fields. Plenty of parking and the restaurant Saults LLC shares the space. The selection of beers is decent. Having a 2025 CT Beer Passport I started out with an Irish nitro stout called "Death of a Saint" For my passport BOGO I tried the "Grim Harvest" pumpkin lager that was served with a maple flavor sugar rim. So good that I purchased a 4 pack to go. Our server was Robert who was friendly and helpful with the brew descriptions. We ordered food from Saults and both of us enjoyed our selections - grilled marinated flank steak for him and the summer harvest pizza with fire roasted shishito peppers added for me. The brewery has weekly events and music. All worth another visit in the near future.

    Dudleytown Brewery opened in 2023 and is located in Windsor, CT and was named after a historic ghost town located in CT. The tap room was spacious with plenty of seating; their outdoor seating area was massive and I'm sure a delight during the warmer months. Parking was plentiful when we went. I love breweries and craft beer so I've been wanting to visit for a while. I love that their beers are named with the paranormal in mind, very clever. I had the Passion of the Geist which is a sour beer with passion fruit, apricot, tangerine, and orange. It was enjoyable to drink and it had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The second beer I had, which I probably should've started with that first, was the Stolas; it was a peanut butter and chocolate porter. It was strong and I can taste the peanut butter. They had quite a few on tap that I want to try. I look forward to going back! Currently, they're building a restaurant. There is a food truck they collaborated with called Sault's Eclectic Cuisine on-site. There is a limited menu right now, but once the restaurant is built, they will be serving pizza and more. Outside food and drinks are not allowed. My son had a grilled cheese from there and he enjoyed it. It was clean, spacious, and kid friendly. I liked that they had a jug of water and some cups available. There is also a merch shop area. They also hosts quite a few events. Overall, a very nice brewery serving some good beers.

    We had a great experience at Dudleytown Brewing Company. The service was super friendly & efficient. There's many options for seating - serve yourself, bar, table service, etc. The beer was great & the Buffalo chicken dip was the best I've ever had. Great establishment that I'd highly recommend.

    Caesar salad with shrimp and app riser Mexican corn cakes
    Nancy F.

    As with any open space the loudness of voices can be too much at times. Luckily they have created a space outside for their bands. The service needs a little work. From the time of ordering our appetizer arrived within 5-10 min which was great but then our food arrived right on top of the appetizers. This always annoys me. The place is not that busy that they have to rush the meals. Our server was attentive and was always checking on us - sometimes a little too Much but that is a learning curve. The food- the Mexican corn cakes weee super thin and without the sauce really had no flavor. I will say that the pineapple salsa was delicious and that added to a nice sweet flavor. It does come with a siracha aioli but it was too spicy for me per my husband and we had gotten it in the side. My Caesar salad was generous and the 5 grilled shrimp were good. I think the shrimp was a little overcooked since the shrimp were touch. The Caesar dressing was drenched over the romaine ... next time I would get it in the side. We will try this again.

    Margherita pizza.

    Casual yet elegant brewery. Service was outstanding. Waitress was very attentive. Had several samples upon request. The wings were above par. The burger was savory. The pizza... thin with a bubbly crust and ingredients so fresh you'd think they had their own garden.

    Pork belly bao
    Colin C.

    "Legen" and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant because the next word is "dary!" I like to write a bit before I offer my review, but Dudleytown is a great white elk in a County full of moose. My girlfriend and I have been here many times since they've opened, and I've availed myself of many a can and appetizer. Connecticut has no shortage of good or great beer, but ever since Bad Dream closed, there's been a dearth of excellency. Sure, OEC often hits the mark, as did the late and great Phantom, but Dudleytown seems to have the unique ability to try any style and come out with an award-winning crowd pleaser no matter what. Sour, hoppy, or dark and stouty, they (as my old science teacher, Mr. Nolan, used to say) nailed this one to the fridge. I haven't tried much of their new food menu, but I will say that the pork belly baos are quite good. Authentic? You're asking the wrong guy. But I can say that pork belly is somehow both chewy and savory, and that's hard to do. (I've tried to make lǔ ròu fàn many times at home.) One dish does not a restaurant make, but that and a proper pizza oven tell me they'll do well. My only gripe is that we've been a few times this year, and I always come here after visiting the Vintage Radio & Communications Museum, and it's always been the same old beers lately. Ever since the kitchen opened, the beer menu has quieted down. Come on, try something new! Tell your brewer to outdo your chef. But don't let this stop you from visiting, dear reader. Whatever you're into, you won't be disappointed.

    Been here a few times now. Very cool facility. Nice and clean, tons of seating inside and outside. Parking is no problem. Friendly staff. Beer is okay. The pumpkin is probably the best one I've had here. Overall it's a good experience but I think there are better local breweries (back east is only 5 min from here...) No food in house but they do have food trucks on site. Worth a visit and I don't mind coming here if someone recommends meeting up for a quick drink but wouldn't be first on my choice.

    Christi S.

    Came here for a cruise night and had a few drinks and some food. The bao bun was good. The bread was very soft and cloud like. The pizza was wood fire made. And to be honest it was really good. The pesto was different and actually went well with the pepperoni. I think it tastes better than Tunxis grill pizza. The drinks were good also. Next time we go I will have to try the beers. When you go in. There is an area where you have to line up to order your drinks. For the food. We didn't know this but to sit at the tables near where the food is you have to be seated. Any tables prior to the bar area are first come first serve seating.

    Dudleytown Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Windsor, Connecticut in August 2023. It was founded by business partners Daryle Dunlap and Jonathan Levine. In 2017, the two transformed Dunlop's barn into a cozy taproom and brewhouse where they spent several hours crafting home-brews and hosting private parties. Eventually they decided to go into business together and open their own brewery. They decided to name the new venture after Dudleytown: an abandoned 'ghost town' settlement in present day Cornwall, Connecticut. The brewery would have a "dark forest" theme and the partners game their beers names like "Ghost", "Crypt", "Passion of the Geist", and "Dark Entry". They eventually found a permanent location at the former Mototown USA facility. After some delays from the COVID-19 pandemic, the brewery finally opened their doors to the public in summer 2023. An on-site restaurant, Saults Eclectic Cuisine, opened in April 2025. I recently visited Dudleytown Brewing for the first time. I was fortunate enough to be given a tour by co-owner Daryle Dunlap. He was extremely friendly and extremely proud of his brewery (as he should be). I really liked the interior of the taproom with its dark forest theme that includes a massive wooden bar top, mood lighting, and industrial decor. The centerpiece is a massive metal tree sculpture which was made by Dunlap's sister Rhonda Dunlap, a welder. The interior of the taproom has about 7,000-square-feet of space and includes a stage area for live entertainment, while the outdoor beer garden area has 8,000-square-feet of space. The beers that I tried during my visit were "Gideon's Gambit" (German Pilsner), "Decadent Decay" (Raspberry White Chocolate Stout), "Open Portals" (Citra IPA), "Juicy Geist Superstar" (Passionfruit Hazy IPA). Everything was excellent, but the two IPAs were my favorites. I had a memorable experience at Dudleytown Brewing and I look forward to returning with my family!

It was a tremendous experience, maximized by the beautiful facility that is the Performing Arts Center at Simsbury Meadows.. The Center is located on Iron Horse Boulevard behind Simsbury Center. You can either reserve a table for 8 near the front of the stage, or bring your own chair and sit in the gigantic general admission lawn. We were at one of the tables and had a very nice view of the stage. The sound system was perfect, and as the night progressed, the stage lighting also added to the show. The Center's hundreds of volunteers were great at directing us to our seats and giving us a nice glossy program. Before the show we took a stroll over to "Vendor Row" to check out the booths. There were 2 radio stations there with games and freebies (my buddy tossed a tennis ball into a basket and won a CD), Kane's Market was selling dogs and burgers, and J J Fosters was doing a brisk business selling ice cream. Tonight's show was part of the Talcott Mountain Music Festival. A different entity also runs concerts at the Center (Peter Frampton, Harry Connick). The Talcott Mountain shows lets you bring in alcohol (hallelujah!), while the other group doesn't. One of the Center volunteers we chatted with before the show said their "no alcohol" policy extends to "no water bottles" too. Of course they sell all of that for your enjoyment and financial support. Tonight's music was fantastic. I guess the danger in covering the Stones is running the risk of becoming an exaggerated parody; but these guys were great. The band churned out hit after hit from the Stones' 50 year vault of gold. The front man had that thin Mick Jagger look, and he made the crowd roar with laughter as he taught us three essential "Jagger moves". Oh, and believe it or not, a woman rushed the stage, went to embrace the lead singer, and she was bear hugged by security and tossed out!!

Note to the owner: unless Greg's demeanor and attitude improve significantly, it would be in the company's best interest to remove him from customer-facing interactions. My husband and I visited this brewery for the first time around 4:30 PM. It was slow, and as experienced brewery-goers, we asked about flights so we could decide which beers we might want as full pours. We were helped by a woman with short blonde hair who was friendly, knowledgeable, and exactly what you want in a customer-facing role. She explained that while flights are not offered, she was happy to provide small samples to help us decide and assured us it was no problem. She also explained that half pours were available. She poured five small samples for us. My husband chose a half pour of Lil Lager and a half pour of Oktoberfest, and I ordered an Athletic NA. We also ordered pretzel bites, which we were told had to be rung in separately--unusual, but fine. Shortly after receiving our drinks, I noticed that all half pours were listed at a flat rate of $5, even though a full 16oz Lil Lager was only $4 and the 16oz Oktoberfest was $7. I mentioned this to the woman helping us, and she agreed it didn't make sense. She told us she would charge us $2 (a soda price) for the Lil Lager half pour, which we felt was fair and reasonable. This agreement was clearly communicated and understood. At this point, Greg abruptly inserted himself into the interaction, asking if we were done and demanding our card, despite the fact that we had just received our drinks and were still waiting for food. He had not been involved in our transaction at all. His interruption was unnecessary, uncomfortable, and disruptive, especially given that the woman assisting us was more than capable of handling everything. When Greg questioned her about our tab, she explained the pricing adjustment she had already agreed upon with us. Greg dismissed her explanation and overrode her decision. He rang us up and charged $5 for the half pour of Oktoberfest, $4 for the half pour of Lil Lager, and the full $5 for my Athletic--completely disregarding the agreement made with us and undermining his coworker in front of customers. His actions felt deceptive, disrespectful, and violating, not only toward us but toward his colleague as well. By this point, the entire experience had soured. When our food finally arrived, we just wanted to leave. As we passed Greg on our way out, he told us to "have a good night." I told him directly that he had handled our transaction incorrectly. He became immediately defensive and interrupted me repeatedly, insisting he had done us a favor by charging $4 instead of the $5 half-pour rate. This completely ignored the fact that we had already agreed--clearly and openly--with his coworker on different pricing, which he knowingly overrode. This was not about the money; it was about principle, respect, and basic customer service. When I told him the experience was awful and that I planned to leave a negative review, he told me to "go right ahead," raised his voice as we were leaving, and falsely accused us of having "20 tastes." This accusation was inappropriate, untrue, and hostile. Greg demonstrated a complete lack of customer service skills, poor judgment, and an inability to understand the basic goal of a brewery: allowing customers to experience the product so they want to purchase more of it. Instead, he dominated his colleague, alienated customers, kept inaccurate tallies, and made unwarranted assumptions. The entire interaction was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and frankly bizarre. If this establishment is going to hold small tastes against customers, then flights should be offered for purchase. As it stands, the environment felt unwelcoming and inhospitable. We will not be returning, and I will be sharing this experience with friends, family, and neighbors. This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences we've had at a brewery.
