## About

East Rock Brewing Company is a small, family-owned brewery located in the heart of the East Rock neighborhood in New Haven, Connecticut.  At the brewery, 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.  Our family-friendly beer hall is a cheerful social space to gather in celebration of the simple things in life while enjoying one of our 15 draft beers and delicious pretzels.
