BEER HALL

Our family-friendly beer hall is a cheerful social space to gather with friends and neighbors in celebration of the simple things in life.  We offer up to 15 rotating beers on tap, many of which are available to take home from our retail store in growlers or bottles.  We also offer delicious pretzels made by our friends at Whole G bakery to ensure you don’t go hungry during your visit.

Is the beer hall family friendly?

Yes, visitors who are under 21 are permitted if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. While visiting, children must be by the side of their parent or legal guardian at all times. Highchairs are available for little ones.

How can I host an event at the beer hall?

If you’d like to inquire about hosting an event, you can do so by calling us at 475-234-6176 ext. 2 or email carissa@eastrockbeer.com.

Do you allow dogs or other pets?

Pets are welcome outdoors on our patio as long as they are supervised by their human!

How much beer can I buy on my visit?

In accordance with Connecticut law, we are permitted to sell up to nine liters of beer per person, per day (304oz.).  This roughly translates to [25] 12 oz. bottles, [18] 500 ml. bottles or [4] 64 oz. growlers and [1] 32 oz. growler.

Do you have a kitchen on site?

We do not have a full-service kitchen on site, but we do offer fresh baked pretzels that are made by our friends at Whole G Bakery.  You are welcome to bring your own food or order takeout from one of the many celebrated restaurants in the area.

Do you sell non-alcoholic beverages?

We have a variety of non-alcoholic refreshments including water and soda from Foxon Park, a New Haven favorite.

Can I purchase a keg of beer from you?

In accordance with Connecticut law, we do not sell kegs directly to consumers.   We recommend reaching out to your local package store to inquire about ordering a keg of our beer.  Also, your party sounds like a fun time; how do we get an invite?

Do you fill growlers that were not originally purchased at East Rock?

No, we do not fill growlers that have been purchased from another brewery.  We take great pride in producing our beer and this extends to packaging where we clean and sanitize every growler before it is filled.  Since our operations do not permit us to clean/sanitize growlers on demand, we are not able to fill growlers that have been purchased from anywhere other than East Rock.

Are you hiring?

If we have any open positions we will have them posted on Indeed!
