With wood-fired pizzas, burgers made with local grass-fed beef, and cheese and charcuterie boards, Broad Brook Brewing is becoming a northern Connecticut destination for its food just as much as its beer.
But the brewery’s June 2020 opening, more than four years in the making, was preceded by a roller coaster of events. In 2016, Broad Brook’s owners, Eric Mance and Tom Rossing, announced a move across the Connecticut River, leaving their original East Windsor location to construct a new building just north of Bradley International Airport. Construction problems caused extended delays, putting the building far behind schedule — and as they finally prepared to open in March last year, the pandemic hit, shuttering state taprooms for months.
