Miskatonic Brewing - Darien

I visited this brewery while traveling and wanted to experience a local spot. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the cost of two flights, not including tip, was $39, which I found to be very expensive. The fact that flights are sold separately is also a bit excessive. I would have given a higher rating, but $40 seems too steep. In my opinion, a flight should be no more than $10.

We visited this brewery in the early evening and were impressed by its cool interior and laid-back atmosphere. There weren't many people around at that time, so it's uncertain how crowded or noisy it may get. I appreciated the option to order smaller pours and sample a variety of beers, as I don't usually drink a lot of beer. I'm curious to see if it's family-friendly during the day, as it would be convenient to bring our toddler. Regardless, since it's conveniently located near our home, we will definitely be stopping by to pick up some beer.

The service at this restaurant is excellent. Evaynn took the time to explain the beers to us and assist with our selection. Even when the place got busy, she still provided personalized service. The brewery is family and dog-friendly, which adds to the overall pleasant atmosphere.

I visited Miskatonic Brewing on 7/30 in the late afternoon. I visit craft breweries as a hobby. As of this writing, I think this may have been 175. Like most craft breweries, Miskatonic is located in an industrial park. The signage upon arrival was good, including to find the parking identify the door to the taproom. They also had their logo featured prominently at the parking area. There was outside seating via picnic table right outside the taproom, and adequate seating inside. It was a nice day so many patrons were outside. The taproom was spacious, clean and with some funky Lovecraft decor mural. They had nice overhead fans that provided great circulation and made it comfortable inside. I sat at the bar was greeted warmly by a young male server who was well informed about the selections. He helped me pick my last of 4 in my flight and served it quickly and efficiently. I was given two free brewery stickers when I asked for one informed of the Wi-Fi password which was printed on the well prepared beer menu. Whoever set up the taproom does very well in serving patrons, and in general organization. Well done. Wi-Fi also worked well. I liked my selections, most notably the maibock which had a faint caramel taste on the palate. Overall, this is a well organized and comfortable brewery. I would return if nearby and recommend it to others. Btw, I had to look up the name and now understand the Lovecraft references in the decor.

Visited for the first time last week and had a great time! First, I loved the tap room. It 's like I decorated it myself . The brews were genuinely amazing, the service was great, and they had cool swag. I had their Spire hazy DIPA, Rum BA ESB, and their Dopplebock during my visit, and all three were great . Honestly, I didn 't know what to expect from the Rum BA ESB, but it was so good it may be my beer of 2022 so far! It was super fruity, but also malty with balanced booziness, caramel, and wood flavors. Of course I also took some to-go beers too and am looking forward to trying them soon!
