Description
Connecticut Valley Brewing Company is an independently owned and operated family business. The company was founded by two Connecticut locals who have dreamt of opening a brewery for many years and have always wanted to create a place where the community could gather and enjoy each other’s company. Our South Windsor facility, which we officially opened in early 2018, is situated in the heart of the Connecticut Valley. Our brewery is just a short, five minute drive to the banks of the beautiful Connecticut River.

Our logo features the F4U Corsair airplane which is the Connecticut State Airplane and a great testament to the spirit of the state. Because we feel community is important, our company is highlighting some of the state’s great industries and adventure spots by featuring them on our cans. These people and places have not only inspired our own lives and the life of the brewery, but they also honor the places we’ve come to live, love and grow in. We hope you enjoy your time here and we look forward to serving you again in the future.

Cheers to You and Cheers to Connecticut Craft Beers!

Bourbon barrel aged imperial stout by this brewery in Connecticut I haven't encountered before. Expensive can from the Mitra shop in Lelystad, Netherlands, shared with Goedele, Craftmember and Hinke. Mocha-beige, mousy, dense head quickly reduced to a steady ring, jet black robe. Intense bouquet of 'Haagse hopjes', chocolate sauce, sweet bourbon indeed, liquorish but subtly so, cinnamon rolls, sugared gravy, toffee, coffee liqueur, vanilla-scenting oak wood, molasses, raisins, caramel candy. Quite intense onset, sweet candied cherries and raisins with a light umami-flavoured gravy sauce poured on top, in a softly tingling environment; very full, oily, near-syrupy body. Thick toffeeish, molasses-like and chocolatey malt body with only mild roasted coffee bitterness in the end, lingering caramel and liquorice aspects heated by bourbon, which accentuates the overall sweet side of the beer rather than destroy it with astringent booziness; some black-peppery hop bitterness does provide balance, as does a subtle but noticeable, faintly vanilla-ish oakiness that behaves remarkably elegantly. Worth every penny, this is your typical postmodernly sweet imperial stout in full U.S. grandeur. Very well done, better than expected really - this deserves to be hyped, I'd almost say...

Cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium bone white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Stringy lace. Aroma of herbal hop, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, herbal hops and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.
