Great Beer. Cool place. Everyone is nice. Service is great. Live music is always good. And the beer garden is excellent when it's open.

New England Brewing Co. brings a new experience at a new location with all of their signature brews. Positioned at Indian Neck Avenue facing Branford Landing, the new spot does not only have relaxing views on deck, it's spacious and inviting decorated with exclusively commissioned art. It was a year long wait, and it was well worth it! Meeting their team was a delight and all their staff was absolutely accommodating. Choose from a number of items from their draft list or cocktails, non-alcoholics & more (they also have wine.) They also house two food trucks that are permanently installed on the grounds that are Nebco Kitchen that appears to have a rotating menu as well as Naples Wood Fired Pizza serving a variety of 12" pizzas who've been there for years. There's a choice for everyone, and they are family friendly! read more

Great spot to experience a local business that continues to grow their brand of fantastic beers brewed on premise and some great casual bar food. Had the wings and the Korean barbecue sandwich both were delicious, packed with flavor paired with the delicious locally brewed sea hag and fuzzy duck beer. Just wished I could get your beers in Delaware. read more

Great brewery with a local bar vibe. The beers are great, and they have a good selection on tap, plus cans to go. The night we were there they had a taco truck in the parking lot. read more

New England Brewing Co - Great beers - Breweries Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

A spacious taproom with 8-ish beers on draught with a hazy IPA focus, Zuppardi-branded personal pizzas, other small bites like pretzels, and a lot of swag. NEBCo has a substantial local presence, but I'm glad the taproom had rarer variants. G-Bot and Double Fuzzy Baby Ducks were both good hazy IPAs. Nice staff, great service, good prices, i.e. $6 for a 16-oz Sea Hag pour. read more

Great brewery atmosphere! Awesome knowledgeable staff! Outstanding service and beverages!

The old, unused Crest (auto dealership) building has been torn down, making way for additional parking! NEBCO now looks like a brewery that's next door to a car dealership, rather than being a place hidden in the back of a car dealership. read more

It's just a good place. Period. Atmosphere is laid back. Always great beers. They have fun beer alternatives that I loved (ciders and a mixed drink). Staff is super friendly. Outdoor and indoor seating. Its a place you can easily pass a few hours just talking. Good music and acoustics so you aren't overwhelmed with loudness. No little kids flying around which is a bonus. We tend to hop over into the new haven pizza scene after here, but they also have good food trucks that rotate. read more

Happy to say it seems like they have gotten rid of the horrible old manager, he no longer works for them. They have a really good team now and I enjoy spending time here again. read more

I've watched this brewery grow so kuch over the years. We we're going and enjoying their delicious beer when they were pretty much just a brewery! To see how it's expanded, and expanded again, and expanded again! - really warms my heart. They have great beer, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the atmosphere of the tasting room and on site location is fun and intimate. It's always a pleasure going there! read more

New England Brewing Co - KOLD IPA and blueberry cider - Breweries Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

One of the best breweries out there; a staple of CT brews. There is something here for everyone. Even if you're not into beers, they generally have something else for you such as ciders, etc. They have a great atmosphere, generally a food truck on site, and some sort of entertainment on the more busy nights. If you're looking for a night out, want some good food, beers, and entertainment -- highly consider NEBCO! read more

NEBCo beers are some of the best in the state, and they are constantly innovating. I have many favorites, and getting them on draft adds to my delight. I came for a Sunday yoga and beer event, where we did all levels yoga for an hour and then could drink for an hour and a half or so. During the event, they had a secret Fuzzy Baby Ducks keg, which was a nice touch. Unlike other breweries, this one has a limit of the number of tastings you can get in a day, which I thought was a little odd, so you'll just have to plan accordingly. The bar doc, Memphis, a greater swiss mountain dog, is a sweetheart. NEBCo can be a little tricky to find. Waze had no idea how to get to the parking lot, but taking the turn off the major street is the easiest way, even if it seems like you're driving through another parking lot to get there. read more

Pros: location is great. Near to SamAsh in Woodbridge/ New Haven Lots of IPAs They have half pours They have a area for music as well inside Pet friendly Cons: first : horrible parking situation. No clear marks . The area is shared with a car dealership. And people had parked wherever they could. They didn't want to go all the way back to try and see if there is space so they just parked wherever they could and made the entry and exit into a one car lane. So inconvenient We generally like citra mosaic hops but they were mostly citra Amarillo hops. Not to our taste. No flights offered but half pours are there. Beers were served in plastic cups which I didn't like read more

Great service great atmosphere. I really appreciate everything you do for us and never try to food out. Private food is very good.

G-Bot on tap and in growlers! I've brought home so many of their beers and they are all very good. G-bot is still my favorite (as it is for most people) but nothing is terrible here. Great vibe, great staff and a cool setting make this an excellent place to lose a good part of a day to. Bring home a growler for you and one for a friend! Grab a case or two of something hard to find, you won't be disappointed! Check out the food truck just outside. Chances are they will have something awesome! Seating is indoors and out so come in any weather. Love the dog friendly vibe and the coloring books for kids! Great designs for some of the apparel that matches the artwork on the cans. All in, this is just a great spot to visit over and over again! Hope you find time to visit for yourself! read more

New England brewery consistently has great beer fabrics atmosphere and changing ideas at all times Great parking with social justicing for with their service in my book still one of the best breweries in the area, read more

Don't be fooled by the promise of heated, covered outdoor seating. It was a little chilly outside but we wanted to sit outside because we have little kids ... and it's still covid so we aren't fans of bringing them to crowded outdoor places. We rolled up with our kids in tow and the tented area ... has no covering. There was one tiny outdoor area that was covered. Okay, fine, there were heaters. My husband went inside to ask if we could have help turning the heat on. The staff told us only one heater worked. Okay, fine, but not cool that no one offered to help us. We tried to get the one heater with propane to work but it didn't ... all while the unhelpful staff watched from inside. We left. Please update your Yelp page and / or help people out who are trying to give you business. read more

I enjoyed the beer but am disappointed in the service. The man who helped us, politely told us he couldn't give us samples, when we saw another server bringing samples to another table. The beer was inexpensive and we wanted to try whatever they had, however I don't think I'll be going back and I'll be sure to let everyone I know that we were profiled and singled out by someone on the staff for reasons I have no idea about. read more

Here on a cold night. Good music and a decent crowd since it's so cold out. I got fuzzy ducks ipa their speciality. Really fresh and promomint citrus notes and a bit bitter but nothing too bad. Actually goes down easier than other darker beers. Smell is a little sour but mostly fresh citrus. Great place to hang out. Large open area inaide. Famous local spot. 1/23/2018 read more

I've been going to New England Brewing Company since 2013 and they are easily my favorite brewery in the state of Connecticut. In 2013, they were one of maybe five breweries in the state. Now there are around 100, but they still remain one of the best. Prior to my first visit to NEBCO, I had no idea that you could actually go to a brewery, maybe take a tour, and buy beer from them directly. That concept is so common now, but it was a relatively new idea back then. NEBCO distributes beer to various package stores around the state, but for their best offerings you need to go to the brewery directly. Most of their beer is canned, some special offerings are released in bottles, and some of their beers are available in growler fill form only. My favorite offerings of theirs include G-Bot (formerly known as Gandhi-Bot), Sea Hag, Fuzzy Baby Fucks, Imperial Stout Trooper, Kewl Beans, and the list goes on and on. They keep adding more great beers to their lineup and their operation keeps getting bigger and bigger. Even their worst beers are better than some breweries' best beers. Not only do I think that they have the best beer in the state, but I also think that they are one of the best breweries in all of New England, along with Treehouse, Trillium, The Alchemist, and Lawson's Finest Liquids. NEBCO has hosted many fun events at the brewery over the years and they are even the top sponsor of my cycling team: Team Craft Beer. Their customer service is also fantastic. A few days ago, I went to get some can packs to go. When I got home, I realized that one of the packs that they gave me was wrong (they gave me 'Double Fuzzy' instead of the similarly named 'Double Hag'). I realized it was just an honest mistake. I returned to the brewery and explained the problem. They apologized several times and let me keep the pack of Double Fuzzy for free. Now that's great customer service! If you ever come to visit Connecticut from out-of-state and are looking to check out some of our great craft breweries then NEBCO should be first on your list! read more

Finally - I made it to NEBCO and it was worth the wait! As a fan of their Facebook page I noticed that the had the infamous G-Bot on tap so since we were going to visit a couple of other breweries in the area - I figured I would try my luck, and hoped that there would still be some available when we arrived. The beer gods must have been smiling down on me and I was rewarded (after a bit of confusion about their location) with my own growler (my first purchase of one) of G Bot as well as smaller one of Gold Stock Ale. The pouring room is very no frills - basically you walk in - see what's on tap and get on line. It moved pretty quickly the day we were there and as we waited, I was able to try their Gold Stock Ale and 668 Neighbor of the Beast. There's something about drinking beer on tap that is a wondrous and nirvana-like experience, especially if the beer is good. Yes - the beer from NEBCO is awesome and getting is within a stone's throw of where it's brewed takes it to a whole other level. I had come here to just get a G-Bot growler but after tasting the Gold Stock - I could not leave without purchasing a small growler as well. There were some people that came through and just wanted a tasting and the employees were happy to oblige but for the most part this is a fill and go place. There are some standing tables around to enjoy the last sip of your beer sample but that's pretty much it. If you have had trouble finding some of the elusive beer offerings I would suggest making the trek down - it's well worth the drive! read more

Bottom line: why can't this be closer to my house? Yeah, it's awesome and their beers are very well made. Gluten line: no gluten free brews or ciders, but they do have wines in cans. That works. Long line: thoroughly enjoyed the visit here. I'm not a big IPA guy but their IPAs were really good. The space is open and inviting, and I saw board games and other fun things to do in groups. Food truck outside was clutch. Staff was very friendly and although sadly they don't do tastings per se, they do have small pours you can get multiple different types of and basically make your own. I'd go back for both the ambiance and the beer itself. read more

Cold atmosphere and average beer. They did play great music! 90's grunge! Definitely not a first stop for me..

Friendly staff, great DIPAs, TIPAs, and stouts. The live music is a perfect addition. A great place to grab a pint.

We absolutely love NEBCO. Thanks for making the experience worth the ride. Great service and great beer. read more

Such a well-rounded quality beer selection and fabulous set up but if I may digress. There is something quite off with the male tap room manager. He made my friends and I feel very uncomfortable. The aggressive staring and awkward compliments to one of my friends were really just out of place and off putting. To be frank, considering the recent micro brewery #metoo controversy this experience doesn't fare too well. We will not be back unfortunately! read more

I'm a recent transplant to the New Haven area, having just moved here for residency at Yale, and New England Brewing Co is the first brewery I've tried. I don't see much of a reason to try anywhere else. NEBCo is a 5-minute drive from my apartment in Westville; the bartender (didn't catch her name, unfortunately) was happy to help my significant other find a great IPA she'd enjoy; and the selection was super diverse (I loved the "Trashe Rose" sour). We sat outside under a large tent, which came in handy with an unexpected heavy rainstorm, and the eclectic barrel seating made for a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

"Feeling Fuzzy" My wife and I enjoy going to NEBCO. The atmosphere is chill, the music is always great, and the beer is amazing. Always feeling fuzzy for a Fuzzy Baby Duck IPA. But the last time we were there, I ventured into a few other brews. I had the Coffee Breath Stout. Very very good. I also had a "Nice Bongose" gose sour beer. It was good, but I didn't love it. My wife's go-to NEBCO beer is the 668 Belgium Golden Ale. It's a very good clean ale. They have a ton of NEBCO merch to choose from and my wife and I bought a couple t-shirts to advertise our obsession with NEBCO beers. I got a kick out of the kids mini table and chairs in the corner with a shelf full of games to play if you bring your little ones. I think the coolest thing at NEBCO is the "Sea Hag" El Camino parked out front. Picture it... Cruisin with the back packed with ice and loaded with Sea Hag and Fuzzy Baby Duck with Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" blastin to catch everyones attention. NEBCO is everywhere these days, and for good reason. Their beer is great. Another beer I love is the Ghost Pigeon Porter. Amazing ! Check it out. read more

Small brewery near New Haven, they have a good, but limited (7-8) selection of beers. Friendly helpful beertenders. The beers all have great sounding names like Fuzzy Duck, Combover or Weiss Trash. I found all the beer to be really good, full of flavor from the quality ingredients they use. The tap room is fairly small, with stand up tables. Lots of people coming and going after having filled their growlers. On a weekday, there was ample parking, no lines and plenty of cold beer. Recommend New England Brewing Company if you want some good locally made beer. Glad I made the effort to get here. read more

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon on our way up to Hartford. Pretty busy for mid-afternoon! Location was a bit weird, in the back of a car dealership. They had expanded their outdoor space because of COVID, including a really nice, new metal roof gazebo. Some of the tables have no covering, and unfortunately we had one of those tables initially. It was a really warm Friday afternoon with the sun beating down, so we were probably going to leave after one round. Fortunately, someone left from under the aforementioned gazebo, so we moved and stayed for a couple more rounds. They should think about maybe adding a few more umbrellas. Beer was good. Liked the Supernaut, but I'm a fan of mosaic, so what can I say. No flights, and everything was served in plastic cups. From a COVID safety standpoint, the servers were sanitizing tables and stools after each party, although it's kinda hard to spray sanitizer on a table with holes in it, but A++ for effort. Hand sanitizer was available at the entrance. I'm not really sure the tables were actually spaced 6 feet between parties, because they looked a lot closer than 6 feet. Back to back between two seated persons was maybe only 2-3 feet. read more

Ah, good old NEBCO. From Seahag and Gha.... er I mean G-Bot, and their rotating drafts , there are a lot of good beers here to sample and try. They have a great outdoor area to sit in with your pooch, and enjoy the breathtaking views of.... um... a parking lot, a major highway, and a Lincoln dealer. The service is phenomenal here, and the place has changed over the last few years. THe first time we were here about 5 years ago until our most recent trip over the weekend, the building has changed a little, the layout has changed, the amount of beer on tap has changed, but their service has remained awesome. It's not the Mecca or "must stop" as it used to be, as everyone is making a good IPA these days, but NEBCO is a must stop if you're in the area and looking for a good brewery. read more

New England Brewing Company, AKA "NEBCo" is a pretty small but high quality brewer, located in Woodbridge (near New Haven.) The day we went was not a big release day, just a Saturday, but it was still pretty crowded. On days when they do have a special release, parking can be a real issue and the place is totally packed. They have a pretty tiny tap room, and it fills up. The day we went, there was a sampling of local sausage, made from pigs who eat the leftover grains from the brewing process. Nice to see that NEBCo is into sustainable practices. They have a number of beers on tap, for growler fills and for samples. The samples are actually entirely free, but as of this writing, you are limited to 4 per person. That is almost enough to cover all they had on tap at the time of our visit. They also have some merch on offer. The taproom is decorated with local art, and they often throw events highlighting local artists and community people. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about their beer. We were able to get our growler filled pretty quickly. Be warned though, you should make sure yours is clean before you take it in, as they don't do cleanings. Overall a great place that I plan on heading back to soon! read more

Since my first review the tap room has been expanded and has nice signage on the outside of the building. Still a little tricky to find since it's set back from the road. Limit 4 Samples per person. Bring your growler in clean if you plan to get them filled. Limits on number of growler fills on types of beers. Number of growlers regardless of volume. read more

Pretty good beer, good environment. Nothing super special but worth checking out. I'll definitely go back.

Storefront is quiet, staff minimal, and a friendly black Labrador greets us upon entry. The tasting bar could easily be in your basement, where the neighborhood folks drop by for a few free drafts and walk out with a full growler or three. We sipped on Ghandi Bot and 668, neither which were available for purchase in cans or bottles, except for growlers. Staff were friendly and the brewery littered with Elvis busts and cans/bottles from other craft breweries. I swear that mounted deer head winked as I walked out... read more
