Connecticut Taproom Partners

A New Type of Taproom

While many breweries and taprooms are shifting away from food service, often relying on food trucks to fill the void, Surfridge owners Jen & Steve Lieberman had a different idea for their Connecticut location. Their idea was to combine some of their favorite items into one concept: Craft Beer + Raw Bar.

This idea ballooned into adding a custom-built wood oven on site to offer hot pizza and other hot items. From there a unique and creative menu was born built on the following concepts:

  • Local Ingredients
  • Fresh Ingredients
  • High-Flavor Dishes

Local Partnerships Key to Success

Yes, Surfridge Brewing Co is an award-winning brewery, but we also offer a full cocktail menu, mocktail menu, and food menu as well. To do this we partner with local and regional businesses who share our passion for high quality products produced locally. Below are just some of the amazing Connecticut and regional companies we partner with and sell products from at our Connecticut location.

HEARD AT THE BAR

Excellent
Andrew W.
The food can be on the tad pricier end but it was really good and I'm not upset at what we paid. We had a wonderful burger and chicken sandwich.
Service was fantastic and everyone was very friendly. The vibe/noise/etc was wonderful and made for a really nice sit down and chat and enjoy ourselves.
Drink selection was good. It's not as large as some other places but everything we tried we very much enjoyed. It feels very quality over quantity and I appreciated it.

Love getting food here before/after riding on the Essex steam train. Staff is always wonderful and food is always fantastic! I’ve only had their mocktails which are always good! My husband enjoys the beers!

I held my daughter’s bridal shower here. Alex, the manager, was a delight to work with and prompt in responding to calls/emails. The wait staff was excellent and took very good care of my guests (40!). The food was fabulous and there was plenty of it - 6 different pizzas, Caesar salad, buffalo chicken dip and homemade hummus. It was a pleasant experience and I would use them again.

Best smashburger I've ever had. Burger and beer Wednesdays for $20 is awesome.

Great beers food and patio; traveling through on vacation and brought our kids here and had a great time. Had pizza, oysters and they brought kids cookies that were hot from oven and delicious. Alex made our night very friendly service.

Paul B.
Nice vibe with beer, bar and food. We had meatballs and a unique chick pea sandwich that were both quite good. Beer I tried a line Kolsch, kind of a sour, very refreshing!
