Newsylum Brewing Co

36 Keating Farms Avenue, Newtown, CT 06470
(203) 491-2038

Signature Beer: Therapy Session Hoppy Pale Ale

Five-second Description: Can’t say enough about the uniqueness of this place. It is on the campus of an abandoned mental hospital. Plenty of room to park and the building converted to a brewery is incredibly ornate with pizza and pretzels. This is the most unique brewery I have ever been to.

Why you should go: The site alone is worth the trip, and they have good pizza!
