    I was attracted to Reverie by their story and the Friday night entertainment. The brewery is in an easy to find location in Newtown right off I-84 and there is plenty of parking. Seating is both inside and out which is lovely during the warm weather. We were there late summer and it was lovely to watch the sun go down and the moon rise. The beer selection is pretty nice. I tried a lager and then they tapped a keg with Imperial stout which was really good. Staff here are very friendly and efficient. I even ran into some good friends there.

    This is our go to spot when we are meeting my bestie and her hubby. The beer selection is always great and the food truck has yummy treats to try. The staff keeps your glasses full and always friendly. Whether you want to sit inside or out, it's a great time. When the bands are playing, you can relax and enjoy the fire pits too!

    Big fan of all the attention

    We FINALLY made it to Reverie and it was such a great experience! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We each had a flight and liked every single one. Cherry sour is a favorite for sour fans! It's a very relaxing setting with a food truck and occasional live music. I also love that when they say dog friendly they truly mean it - water bowls, treats, and lots of pets! All around a good experience

    Overall good experience. Ambiance is nice and fun brewery vibe. Prices are average for breweries in the area. The people are super nice and really care about their product. The beer is good but they have a slightly more limited selection than some other places, still great though.

    We have been purchasing Reverie Beers at local stores for quite sometime and we were beyond excited to finally make it to the actual brewery! We tried a flight before heading out for dinner in town, although they had a food truck available on site and you can bring your own food inside too. We enjoyed the sour (Bearplane Smuggler) and the seltzer (Agua Fresca) the most! The friendly and laidback environment is going to be a great place to enjoy drinks and friends in the future.

    Didn't love anything, didn't dislike anything. I'd return to give it another shot. I came with the parents and found a quiet-ish spot. I'm guessing it's a local watering hole, and happy locals are a good sign. I went with a flight of 4, while the parents got pints. Mom was really hoping for a lager but nothing was available for her. Out of my 4 samples, I wasn't thrilled with anything. I'm usually a stout guy so I got one of those, plus a saison, sour, and hefeweizen. The hef was probably the best of the bunch. The sour wasn't my style but hey - you gotta sample it to know, right? But I was still disappointed that I didn't particularly want to get a retry of any one. Eh, I'd still go to see what they have next.

    Reverie never disappoints. The entire staff is always so welcoming and down to earth. You're guaranteed a smile and some laughs along with some belly rubs for the pup. Reverie is my go to place to grab a drink while relaxing or vibing to the live music. I can't say enough good things about the beer or environment Reverie creates. Solo or with friends I highly recommend making this your local hang or a stop along your journey.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place. All the years I lived in this town, I never thought I would see a brewery here. Based on the new social distancing guidelines, the place doesn't get to crowded which is great, the tables are spread far apart. The service is good, and they have a variety of sweet, sour, light, heavy beers on tap. They even had a seltzer and cider beer. Both times we went there we have a good experience. They ever had a food truck there the second time, and you can bring your own food while there. The only thing I did not like is they had you look at the beers available through a QR code on your phone. The first time, I went they gave us a paper menu which listed all the beers and drinks they had. Something I wish they would continue, I do not have great cell service here, and its party and inconvenience to use my phone around people I'm with. I found out 1 of my old co-workers works here as well, Sarah. She was very attentive to our table and provided great service. The place has a cool setup, we sat only outside though, they looked like they had plenty of seating inside as well, their is plenty of parking, and space available. The place looked really clean as well, and I noticed them wiping down the tables after people left. I will be back again.

    Reverie Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Newtown, Connecticut in March 2019. It was founded by Ryan Broderick, his father Mark Broderick and head brewer Frank Lockwood. Ryan used to home brew as a hobby and eventually decided to leave his job in finance to open his own brewery. He felt that his initial attempts at brewing were "amateurish" so he hired Lockwood as the head brewer. Lockwood had started home-brewing on his stove in NYC and eventually worked at a number of craft breweries throughout New York and Connecticut. Ryan then brought his dad Mark on board; the elder Broderick had previously run a successful sports bar and restaurant in Waterbury. The name "Reverie" (meaning 'a fanciful idea' or 'being lost in thought') was chosen and they began using the slogan "Don't Quit Your Daydream". I stopped in at Reverie Brewing for the first time last weekend. I happened to be in the area so I thought I'd stop by; I don't pass through Newtown very often. The taproom was a nice, cozy space with an eclectic group of customers and live music being performed by local musician John Fazio Jr. After looking over the draft menu, I decided to order a sampler flight of the following: "Mr. Svenning" (Chocolate Salted Pretzel Stout), "Blimp" (Double New England IPA), "Double Dipper" (Double IPA), and "Whipped Pickle Delight" (Cream Ale). The stout had delicious chocolate flavors, but I felt could have used more salted pretzel notes. The New England IPA had excellent tropical notes from the use of Galaxy and Amarillo hops. The DIPA had some real smooth notes from the Citra hops. The Cream Ale (brewed in collaboration with Alvarium Brewing in New Britain) was inspired by pickled strawberries with whipped cream. It tasted kind of strange... and yet I liked it. "Blimp" was my favorite offering and I ordered some cans to take home. I had a good time at Reverie Brewing and I hope to return in the future.

    Amazing space and great drink selection. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We stopped in for a few hours on a Thursday afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised by how amazing the beer and cider selections were. There is plenty of space to hang out both in and outdoors. Try their flight to sample the many selections of drafts. We'll definitely be returning.

    If you haven't been. You have to check this place out. I think what I like the best about it is there's a little bit of everything from dogs, fire pits, benches, picnic tables, high tops, board games, and bar stools. Beer is good with an option for anyone. I'm not a huge IPA fan but this place had stuff for everyone. If your in Newtown, check it out. They always have different food trucks for dining options.

    We lucked out and visited on a Sunday afternoon when Bone Dry Band was performing.

    We had a great visit on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed several very tasty beers, including Oh The Wonder imperial stout and Palsmarter Cream ale. Great atmosphere and vibe in the brewer!

    Woodbury Brewing Company is a craft brewpub that opened in Woodbury, Connecticut in December 2017…read more It was founded by friends and business partners Allan Cetrone, Tim Budrewicz, T.J. D'Alexander and Ken Mair. After he found his previous employer's ethical standards unconscionable, Cetrone decided to quit and find a new line of work. He and his friends frequently got together at a backyard barn man-cave which was complete with a fridge and kegerator. Cetrone had also been experimenting with his own homebrewed beers. Once their man cave became a popular spot for family gatherings, the four friends decided to open their own brewery. The taproom has a rustic saloon aesthetic (a nod to the friends' backyard barn man-cave) complete with a stage for live musical acts to perform. In addition to the housemade beer, WBC also serves wine, cider, craft cocktails, and a large menu of delicious food from their in-house kitchen. I recently visited Woodbury Brewing Company for the first time. I had heard that they host a lot of live music acts and I purchased a ticket to see Hudson Valley-based Rush tribute band "Limelight". I'm a HUGE Rush fan, so I was really excited to see the group perform. I arrived over an hour before the show started. I had a reserved table right by the stage. There was a modest crowd when I first arrived, but the whole taproom was packed by the time the show started. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Nashville Hot GIANT Chicken Sandwich" (hot honey, cajun spice, pickles, mayo) with "Sweet Potato Fries" as well as an order of "Cheese Curds" (served w/ house-made marinara). I was totally shocked when the food finally came to the table. When they say "giant chicken sandwiches", they mean GIANT! I could barely fit the sandwich into my mouth, but it was so delicious! The sweet potato fries were equally big and delicious, and the cheese curds were really good too! Throughout my visit, I enjoyed pours of "Yummy Beers" (Double New England IPA), "Collusion" (New England IPA), and "Barrel-Aged Don't Go Romanov" (Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Stout). They were all surprisingly good! Limelight also gave an excellent performance to the very energetic crowd. Overall, I had quite an enjoyable evening and I'll definitely be back! I already have a ticket to another show!

It's a super cute brewery with games, inside and outdoor seating, an excellent wine list, great beers with beers to go from around the globe, matched with excellent service. We didn't try any of the food offerings which is mostly pizza and pretzels, but we really enjoyed our time. The bartender seemed to know everyone and was so helpful and friendly to us. The wine glasses are very nice. Go with complete confidence.

    I work a couple miles away from here and feel pretty privileged about it. Before I worked there,…read moreOxford seemed a long way to go to try out yet another CT brewery (they weren't distributed back then, so you had to go there or be lucky enough to find it on tap somewhere) and they sounded very niche and weird. And they kinda are in the best way possible. Their selection of beers is pretty amazing in that you won't find 6 different IPAs, 2 fruity sours and a lager. Here you'll find Asian style lager, black lager, 3 different pils, 4 experimental sours, a traditional Berliner Weiss, an English Bitter, and that's just their own brews. They're also an importer and offer bottles from a variety of European and Asian brewers. Walking in transports you to a European beer hall with high ceilings and long wooden tables. There's also a nice deck out back to enjoy nature and a little game room overlooking the brewery floor. I've never tried the food so no comment there. I do intend to spend a lunch hour there one day when I have an easy afternoon ahead of me. The staff there is very friendly and super knowledgeable about the product. Great spot!

    No minors under 21, no dogs. Ordinarily, this would be a deal breaker for us, since we like to roll…read moreas a Fambly. But with the Progeny at camp and the pup walked to somnolence, the Pardner and I finally had a chance to check this place out. Pros: - There's often live music -- without a cover! We saw the talented Eran Troy Danner perform. - The house-brewed beers are varied and delicious. We tried the Amarillo Sky Double IPA, Sacred Grounds Coffee Porter, and the Pirates and Parrots Island Lager, made in three very distinct styles. The Amarillo Sky reminded me of Lawson's Sip o' Sunshine, though a bit less hoppy. Pirates and Parrots would be a perfect session beer. It's fantastically refreshing in the heat. I have to wonder whether the Sacred Grounds Coffee Porter has anything to do with the excellent Sacred Grounds Coffee in Sherman, CT -- but either way, it's very tasty. - The bathrooms are clean!!! They're probably the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a drinking establishment of any kind in the US. - The staff are really nice and friendly, affirmatively helpful. - There's a nice looking food menu. It was a little early for dinner, for us, but we'd love to head back... someday when we are again sans Progeny. - There is an air conditioned indoor space one can retreat to if it's really, really hot out. But the expansive outdoor area out back is where most of the action seems to be when weather permits. Cons: - No dogs allowed - No humans allowed under 21 I am tempted to ding a star because those are big fat cons for us. But... given those delicious beers, the clean bathrooms, the great live music... I can't. This place is sweet.

    Housatonic River Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in New Milford, Connecticut in September…read more2018. It was founded by brewer Dave Littlefield. With brewery experience dating back to the 1980s, Littlefield had owned and operated Harbor Lights Brewing Company in Dana Point, California during the 1990s. A couple of non-brewery jobs later, Littlefield had relocated to Connecticut and looked to open a new brewery. He purchased a 7-acre property along the banks of the Housatonic River in New Milford. In addition to brewing good beer, Littlefield's goal was to create a venue that the community would appreciate and enjoy. The brewery features a large rustic taproom, a stage for live musical acts to perform, and a large seasonal beer garden under a pavilion. In addition to the housemade beer, HRB also serves wine, cider, craft cocktails, and a large menu of delicious food from their in-house kitchen. In May 2024, Littlefield purchased the former Quirk Works Brewing & Blendery space in Danbury for HRB to use as a secondary production facility. I recently visited Housatonic River Brewing for the first time. I had heard that they host a lot of live music acts and I purchased a ticket to see NYC-based Rush tribute band "Moving Pictures". I'm a HUGE Rush fan, so I was really excited to see the group perform. I arrived over an hour before the show started and grabbed a table close to the stage. There was a modest crowd when I first arrived, but the whole taproom was packed by the time the show started. After looking over the menu, I started off with a plate of "Smoked Macaroni & Cheese" (smoked bacon jalapeño macaroni & cheese) and "Cornbread" (w/ cinnamon honey butter). Afterwards, I moved onto a "Gourmet Brisket Grilled Cheese" (three cheeses between perfectly grilled rustic sourdough toast w/ bacon & jalapeños & fries). Everything was fantastic, especially that heavenly grilled cheese! Throughout my visit, I enjoyed pours of "Uncle Bock" (Doppelbock), "Less Gentle On My Mind" (Double New England IPA), and "Remedy" (Imperial Stout). They were all good, especially the latter two. Moving Pictures also gave an excellent performance to the very energetic crowd. Overall, I had quite an enjoyable evening and I hope to return to HRB!
