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!

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Airy palate, a slight viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft rich dark chocolate malts, a good dose of rich chocolate cake, trace of chocolate fudge. Modes dark fruits and then a rich and somewhat tangy dark chocolate cake finish. The BBA here is unusually light but provides a spicy fruity bourbon finish but strangely, never dominant. Rich and flavoursome but never quite fully ascendent.

10/29/19, bit of hop burn, surprisingly. Didn't even roll or shake it, but otherwise nice Galaxy sweetness on the nose and front. The hop burn and grassy finish distract for now.

Pours a nearly clear amber from a can. Big stone fruit and clementine aroma, almost sickly sweet smelling. Similar flavor. A bit over the top.
