FAQS

In addition to our 12+ East Rock beers, we also serve a selection of house cocktails, wine, hard ciders, sodas, hop water, and non-alcoholic beer.

Visitors who are under 21 are permitted if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. While families are welcome, children must be closely supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. East Rock Brewing Company is first and foremost a space for adults. To keep everyone safe, these rules will be strictly enforced by our team.

Our facility contains brewing equipment, heavy objects, and a constantly moving staff. For everyone's safety, children must remain with their adult and seated at all times. Running, climbing, wandering, or rough play is not permitted anywhere on the property, including the Beer Hall, Game Garden, Factory, or Patio.

House rules:

-Children must stay within arm's reach of their parent or guardian all times.

-No running, ball throwing, or rough play.

-Tables, chairs and benches are not for climbing or jumping.

-Children can not approach the bar by themselves.

-Indoor games are for shared enjoyment and must be treated with care.

We want parents and guardians to feel welcome and able to enjoy a beer while their children are nearby. That said, we may not be the best fit for groups seeking a play-forward or playground-style space. These guidelines are in place to protect our guests, our staff, and our brewery, and will be actively enforced by our team. Thank you to the many families who help make East Rock a respectful, safe, and enjoyable place for all. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

In accordance with CT State Law, we are permitted to sell up to 9 gallons per day per consumer of beer to go. This corresponds to four cases of 12oz cans or bottles, or three cases of 16oz cans.

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.

Please connect with your caterer to coordinate for any of your party essentials as we do not provide plates, serving platters or any utensils.

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!
