Did you know that today (Saturday, September 28) is National Drink Beer Day? Whether you’re looking for date night, (or day date) spot, a place to catch up with friends or even a place to let the kids run around a bit in a casual environment while you have a beer and a bite, there are a few local breweries that make a great destination… and are a great way to celebrate the occasion! Check out our list of great breweries in our area, below!
Broken Bow Brewery
Tuckahoe, NY
This family owned brewery has outdoor seating, and is open through October (weather permitting). Play a game of cornhole while sipping on seasonal favorites like Pumpkin Spice Oktoberfest and Lucy’s Strawberry Sour Wheat Ale.
Half Full Brewery
Stamford, CT
This weekend, stop by their Oktoberfest in the Park at Mill River Park for brews, food trucks, music and more! Any time of year, they have fun programming and a full lineup of in-house brews, including their perennially popular Bright Ale and their limited releases (right now, our fave is the Positively Pumpkin).
Lock City Brewing
Stamford, CT
This brewery is small with an intimate feel, but has a wide variety of options, from their Shake Your Booty IPA to Original Blend Cider. Visit them on Saturday at the New Canaan Nature Center’s Harvest Festival.
Wolf & Warrior Brewing Company
White Plains, NY
This new (opened in January!) brewery sources all of its grain locally from within New York State, and turns it into varieties from Pale Ale to IPA. With seating for over one hundred people, it’s a popular spot for parties and corporate events.
For anyone skipping alcohol these days, we love Athletic Brewing, a non-alcoholic choice that actually tastes like the real deal! Founded in Stratford two years ago, it’s available in Stamford at Wagon Wheel Wine & Spirits, Trader Joe’s, Cost Less Wines & Liquors, Ridgeway Beverages – BevMax, Warehouse Liquor – BevMax, Beverage Barn, Fairway Stamford Wine & Spirit, Harbor Point Wines & Spirits and LaRocca’s Country Market.
