Surfridge Brewing Co

Centerbrook, Connecticut

Surfridge Brewing is a taproom and eatery nestled in the beautiful Witch Hazel Works property in Centerbrook, Connecticut. With a 10-barrel copper and brass system and a natural, airy vibe, the space reflects the connection between timeless New England sophistication with California roots.

Fresh brews, wood-fired pizzas, and local oysters are just a few of the delicious items offered at the cozy taproom. Our space is family-friendly, great for small or large groups, and our patio in the summer makes for a great place to have a pint with your pup.  We also offer hand-crafted cocktails and Jonathan Edwards Winery wine.

Our mural by the talented Trek6, captures our tribute to the whales that have been a part of the rich history in Connecticut, as well as blue butterflies that have an interesting origin story with Surfridge.

HEARD in Centerbrook

Excellent
We had our wedding at Surfridge Brewing, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Alex and his team went above and beyond in every possible way—they truly exceeded our expectations.

This was more than just great service; they were the nicest, most attentive, and intentional brewery staff we've ever encountered. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and their genuine care for making our day special really shined through.

The food? Hands down the most delicious brewery food we’ve ever had—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. And the cocktails were curated to perfection, with each one crafted with care and creativity. Our guests are still raving about everything from the bites to the drinks to the atmosphere.

If you're considering Surfridge for any event—or even just stopping by for a drink—you’ll be met with warmth, professionalism, and a team that genuinely loves what they do. We can't recommend them highly enough!
Was just looking for a solid place for a beer and pizza and well. We found one! We showed up as soon as they opened. Pizza was amazing and the beer selection was great!! The atmosphere had a solid vibe as well. Next time im in the area ill go again for sure!! I definitely recommend going!
Hosted a private event and Alex & the staff were so accommodating, helpful, and just great people to work with. Food, drinks and atmosphere 10/10!
Love this place. 😃
A great experience! Friendly service, awesome locale, pizza and burgers were excellent. Beer - great! Worth a stop!
An excellent place to meet friends and have fun. The facility, food and staff are great. The menu has a has a lot of options and the weekly specials are super. The " industrial" atmosphere is really neat. Their craft beer is the best on the shoreline.
I recently attended the Mocktail Dinner at Surfridge Brewing Company. From the moment our party walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, bartender, and general manager, who were all incredibly kind and attentive. Their hospitality truly set the tone for the evening. Our dinner was thoughtfully crafted, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. I would say the pumpkin soup was definitely a hit as well as the end of the meal dessert (a delicious goat cheese cheesecake). The mocktail selection was equally impressive, offering unique and creative options that complemented the meal perfectly. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into every aspect of the event. The service was top-notch throughout the evening. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an enjoyable night. I’ll definitely be back for future events!
We attended the mocktail dinner at Surfridge brewery this weekend. The five course meal each paired with a mocktail was delicious and creative. Our host Alex took time to explain each course and we truly appreciated the artistry involved. We would definitely do this one again!
