Brass Works Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Waterbury, Connecticut in December…read more2015. It was founded by brothers Michael and David Ieronimo and their partners Christopher Urban and Kyle Ondrush. The two brothers started out as homebrewers in their mother's kitchen in the late 1980s. By 2004, David's brother-in-law Christopher and Michael's co-worker Kyle had also come into the fold. The four formed a homebrew club and brewed together out of a garage. The homebrew club evolved into a homebrewing obsession and the next logical step was starting their own brewery. They chose the name "Brass Works" as a reference to "The Brass City": the official nickname of the city of Waterbury. Kyle retired from the brewery in 2021, but the other three partners still continue to share their passion for good beer. I first visited Brass Works in June 2016. I was driving around the state visiting some breweries that were new to me. The interior of the taproom was really nice; lots of neat decorations. During my stay, I ordered a sampler flight of five beers which included: "Wee Windy English Bitter Ale", "Sweaty Sisters Blonde Ale", "Abel Porter", "Uncle Zac's Stout", and "Double Bird IPA". The latter was my favorite of the bunch; great notes of Amarillo hops! I ended up purchasing a growler of that one to bring home. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

I am camping in the area and I tried to come here at least three times now. Couldn't get in due to…read moreprivate parties. When I finally found it opened I was set out in the patio and 30 minutes later nobody kept checked on me or took an order. I don't understand how these company can make money. This is a beautiful place in a good setting. I went in and got a beer myself and wanted some dinner but food truck I guess is next-door in the parking lot. My recommendation would definitely improve service and be transparent of what to expect. Last try for me.

It's dog friendly, (at the time of this review, rules are subject to change, so ask before you go!) and the bartenders are very friendly and helpful. The inside is mostly high-top tables, my only nitpick is that I wish they had a few regular height tables, I can never feel fully relaxed at a high top. The beer is top notch - lots of variety, and not just a lineup of hazebois. They had a really delicious peanut butter porter that we ended up taking a growler of home with us. We will be back!

There weren't many people in there and the music was not the best. I was told they have a dj on some nights, maybe the music is better then.

The atmosphere is casual and the food is great. $2 tacos $5 Margaritas on Tuesday and a $14 steak special on Wednesday, $6 for a flight of some awesome beers between 3-6pm. I love the sweet chill and the bourbon bacon wings too! Friday nights at 9 there's a DJ from a local radio station here playing all the old school 80's & 90's dance music I grew up on. Keno and lottery is sold here too. The best thing about this place is the prices. The drinks and shots are priced very reasonably. I will keep coming here because its a great local establishment.

They were so knowledgeable about their products and we really enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere. We did a tasting and also ordered some drinks off the menu. I highly recommend trying this spot if you're in the area or making the trip even if you're not. Great experience! Will definitely be back.

This is a good place to go to sit at the bar and order small plates. It's almost like tapas, you…read morecan get a bunch of appetizers and make a good meal of it. We like to go there on the weekends. I don't find the restaurant to be as good as the bar, although the food is similar. It feels different and I guess my expectations are different. The service in the bar seems better and the food one eats are more appropriate to watching sports than they are for a nice dinner out. So I guess "elegant" atmosphere is not what you get in the dining room, but hey, its basically a sportsbar. My favorite dish is the steal skewers, which taste like they cut up filet mignon. They also have a very good selection of beer. As far as the other local options for eating out go, this place is near the top of our list.

The food is fantastic! The staff was so courteous and kind. I highly recommend this place to anyone.read more

I gotta say i couldn't believe prize. I paid $24 dollars for 2 IPA sunrise beers, that i can get a 12 pack at costco for that prize. I really think that they are charging way to much for the beers. So just for a quick stop I spend over 60 dollars for 2 beers 1 drink and an appetizer. i should have gotten to dinner if i wanted to spend that money. Never again. Way to overprice.
