See all- Brewery Double Header: The Quiet Corner + OktoberfestTriple Raven Brewing, North Grosvenordale, CT
This month we'll be hitting a couple of breweries in CT's quiet corner. First we'll pay a visit to Triple Raven brewing in North Grosvenordale. This nano brewery has a number of good beer selections, as well as vintage arcarde machines to play while you drink. https://tripleravenbrewing.com/
Next we'll head over to Black Pond Brews in Dayville. In addition to beer they have a pretty decent food menu including flatbreads, sandwichs, and salads. Plus they're hosting their annual Oktoberfest celebration. They'll have live German music, their maple marzen, and German food. No ticket needed. If you think you've got what it takes you can also compete in the stein holding contest. https://www.blackpondbrews.com/
If you haven't had a chance to visit this area of CT yet this is a good opportunity to visit some great breweries. Hope to see you there.
