Signature Beer: King Tut IPA

Five-second Description:  Kind of an odd space in an office park that is half brewery and half beer making supply store.  The space is nice enough, but the beer supply area needs to be better separated as it detracts from the main room look and feel.  No real outdoor space to speak of other than a small grassy area.

Why you should go: If you go it should be about the beer, they have a wide range of types.

Signature Beer:  Ode to Blumpy

Five-second Description: Great meeting space with a nice rentable room in the back.  Great beer and they also serve wine and mixed drinks, although there is not much brewing done here.

Why you should go: Great place to grab a cold one with friends in the back of the historic Colt building.

Signature Beer: Naughty Nurse

Five secoDescription: Great brewpub in downtown Hartford.  Very innovative brewery with really OK food and a full restaurant.    Time to get a little creative with newer beers if they want to stay relevant.

Why you should go: A place to get a bite to eat and many of their own brews on tap including lighter New England IPAs.
