We got the nachos with pulled pork (they had run out of brisket **sad face**) and the portion was MASSIVE. The picture I included was after 4 adults already ate some of it. The only downfall is when the band started playing, it was WAY. TOO. LOUD. You literally had to shout to the person next to you, even though we were a good distance away. It might help if they put the band in the far end next time and not in the main corner. Other than that, good service, good food, good drink, good times! P

What a fantastic place!…read more Right on the water in Coastal Connecticut just east of New Haven, with ample outdoor seating, Stony Creek Brewery is an ideal summer-time destination for excellent craft beer and a solid/creative menu of pub fare. We were here for an event: The start and finish of Bikes & Beers 2024 (Brandford, CT). Bikes & Beers tours the country year-round, offering cycling events that revolve around--you guessed it--breweries. Over the last few years, we've enjoyed weekends away across New England when they come to our corner of the country. Their events are very well organized and fun, with a portion of the proceeds going to local charities. Plus, there's beer! After our 30-mile ride in and around Branford, we joined the other riders for the after-ride event at the brewery for food and fun. That's the formula for all Bikes & Beers events. Back to Stony Creek Brewery. As I said, the setting is idyllic for a warm, sunny summer day. However, you'd find limited indoor dining/drinking space on a rainy day. I enjoyed their seasonal IPA (the only beer I drink) and found it exceptional. My better half had the grilled chicken sandwich to satisfy her hunger while she ordered a chili dog for me. IT WAS HUGE (and delicious). We didn't get to try the other interesting items on their menu, but our fellow riders said good things about theirs. Plus, a permanent guest food truck serves wood-fired pizzas that look and smell fantastic. My mouth is watering as I write this. I'm not sure when we'll be back, but we bookmarked this location so we can have a similar bikes & beers experience on our own someday. We liked it that much!

YES, I have been thinking about those onion rings since last time! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and not all breweries do 1/2 pours and these guys do!

They do have some fun T's that you need to check out when you visit as well, 'cause who doesn't want something to remember this visit! You HAVE TO STOP HERE WHEN YOU ARE IN NORWALK!!!!!!

I couldn't find parking in their lot but it wasn't too hard to find free street parking close by. Everyone gets carded and stamped when walking in at this time of day.

And luckily the was right next to a food court area with pizza, tacos, sushi, and sandwiches as options. The place got very loud during trivia night, and it was nice to be in such a lively atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Who knew that these incredible women in the industry now have a global society supporting the advancement of women and non-binary individuals in the industry? I was there in the afternoon to enjoy music by Arlene Wow, lots of swag, Girl Scout cookies and the Pink Boots Society - all in support of the women brewers!

I really like the concept of a beer collective, here a few breweries share the location and…read moreequipment. On tap they had three different breweries. I was a little confused by the space, there was a random area where there were some games and pinball, then the in the taproom there was an open area that looked to be a sort of Kitchen? The bartender was one of the brewers, very friendly, knew his stuff. The beers were avg, I enjoyed two of them, one a Belgian pale ale, the other a dark sour that was inspired by black forest cake. I think if they clean up the idea a bit, this could be a cool spot (seemed sort of confused with the theme) I also found that they way the breweries are advertised is confusing, and it was hard to find what was on tap on their websites.

There were about 10 of the brewers' beers on tap with two sizes available. I only understood the pun much later. Haha. I'll definitely be back!
