Grand Opening!
We hit the grand opening of the new Hanging Hills Brewing Company in Hartford with a few friends on Saturday...along with several hundred other beer enthusiasts! The place was packed! They offered a flight of 5 beers and, at least with our group, two of them were pretty outstanding - the Wheelhouse Weiss was our group favorite. The House Mild is a very nice English Bitter style beer with plenty of character.
The only unfortunate aspect of the brewery is that its located very close to a school and therefore there's no outside area to enjoy your beer. While this is likely not an issue normally, at the grand opening it was packed and it would have been a welcomed relief to head outside to enjoy our flights.
The folks behind the counter were quite friendly (as you'd expect!) and the experience was enjoyable, despite the crowd and lack of a food truck (there was one vendor there selling hot dogs).
We'll definitely be back but are going to give them a couple weeks to settle in.
Cheers!
