Brass Works Brewing Company

I have to say that I’m not a beer drinker but when I do drink it I’m a snob about the brew. So that being said it was nice to find a brewery in my hometown. I’ve been here twice with family and friends since I’ve been home.
I love the Able Porter, lovely flavor of chocolate and a bit of vanilla that goes down smooth. I can’t recall all the selections but there is one with coffee. Some with the bitter flavors. Def. something for everyone. Plus they make their own root beer and ginger beer.
No food is served but usually a food truck or service is on site.
Open Friday, Saturday’s and Sunday’s.
If you’re not familiar with Waterbury or the Waterville section you might blow by this place. Very unassuming location. Sits back off the road and looks like an old business building. On the right hand side coming from Waterbury.

Owned and operated by a couple of high school social studies teachers and home brew enthusiasts, these guys take their beer as serious as their academics. First brewery in the Brass City in a lifetime. Wishing these guys the best of luck and continued success as they supply quality craft beer to Waterbury and beyond.

Great beer found here. Go in and get a sampler tray or a pint or two and leave with a growler. Good luck deciding what to fill your growler with though because it is all very good. They don’t serve food there, but there is often a food truck on site. Wait staff is very helpful and the seating area is nice and clean. Yay beer!

So happy to see a brewery open in Waterbury! Went on opening day. They only had three beers on tap, but I read that they have six serving tanks, so that will change. The Abel Porter is awesome. Hints of vanilla, but not enough to be off-​putting. My wife doesn’t like beer, but she had four pints of the porter. The Double Bird IPA is a very solid IPA. Not inventive or edgy, just an IPA. The Wee Windy English bitter is ok. They also brew their own soda! Root beer, and ginger ale with fresh ginger. I had both. Cool place. Map location on Unilocal is way off, though. Use your phone to find it.
