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

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?

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.

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