Company Background

East Rock Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery located in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. At East Rock, we use time-honored methods and imported ingredients to produce pure and crisp German-inspired beer. Painfully slow to make but a pleasure to drink, our beers undergo a prolonged and labor-intensive fermentation, resulting in an uncommon depth of flavor and natural carbonation. Fresher than an import and more approachable than a typical craft, our beers are designed for drinkability, but never at the expense of taste. It’s the ultimate everyday companion and the perfect reward for an honest day’s work.

East Rock prides itself on its positive company culture, where team members are valued for their efforts, enthusiasm, and commitment to quality and continuous improvement. We have a 26K square foot facility including a family friendly 3K square foot beer hall at our facility in New Haven that is open to the public 5 days per week. Manufacturing operations are active 6 days per week.
