Makers and owners of Stony Creek Brewery had a few goals in mind when opening their tap room in March, and that was to engage, excite and interact with eager visitors of, the New Haven Register reported. Brewery founder, Ed Crowley Sr., said these qualities allow for the brewery to become a distinct destination, since it is one of four breweries in the town.

Visitors are greeted by a 30-foot glass wall that separates the dining area from the brewery on the first floor, and the celebration room on the second floor, the Register reported, but still allows visitors to capture a glimpse at the processes that go into the brewery’s manufacturing core.

The 30,000-square-foot facility located at 5 Indian Neck Ave. has created a big name for itself, accumulating over 4,800 likes on Facebook and more than 60 reviews with an average rating 4.9 out of 5.

Located right on the Branford River, the waterfront property allows for great views from many areas of the brewery, including one of its two decks, the tap room and the celebration room, according to the Register. More outdoor seating and extras are expected to come in the near future.
