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.

HEARD AT THE BAR

Excellent
Stephanie
Stopped in for a drink but it was a fun atmosphere. Small beer list for a brewery but it was good.
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!

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

If you’re reading these reviews, come here. Went on the steam train with my boys and stopped by here after. Great beers, great menu. Real gem. If I lived closer I would be here every weekend

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.

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!
