Luppoleto Brewing Co. - Windsor Locks, Connecticut

Aleksander M.

This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I went to Luppoleto multiple times during past couple of years and my experience was consistent every time.

The brewery has one big indoor space and a small outdoor patio. There is no food except snacks inside, but I've always seen a new food truck during every visit. The brewery has a ton of events outlined on their website with my favorite being a board game night (collaboration with House of Books and Games in Windsor). It might get a bit noisy inside during the evening, but nothing too bad.

The beers are the gem of this brewery. It has a strong focus on European styles which I appreciate, as most of the breweries prefer to brew "safe" styles like IPAs. There are around 12 taps open and you can find a variety of styles there: Pilsners, Marzens, Stouts and Sours. I've tried every single offering on tap through my visits and every beer is solid. Even the styles I usually don't enjoy are crafted here with an amazing taste. It is hard to recommend anything in particular, because everything is tasty. But still, my favorites through the years were Biscotto Robusto (Vienna Lager) and Koppar Rustica (Smoked beer). Note, that you cannot order beer flights, but have an option of a short pour.

I really recommend checking this brewery out if you're into craft beer in general or into European styles in particular.

First time here. Drawn to it by the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck here this evening. I'll be back, this place has great beer and a really cool laid back vibe.

Luppoleto Brewing is a comfortable place to spend an afternoon sipping your favorite beverage while playing a game, They offer a variety of craft beers, ciders, wine, cocktails and NA options. The brewery hosts one of the biggest game libraries I have ever seen at a brewery. You can snack on a giant brioche pretzel or other snacks inside the brewery or get food from a food truck outside. The long communal tables often means that you will leave with new friends in addition to a great experience.

I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon and I’ll be honest, from the outside, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised! The interior was warm and welcoming, the bar staff were well-versed, friendly and attentive, and most importantly, the beer was really good! Definitely worth checking out if you’re driving thru the area.

I went here tonight with my best friend, we sampled 5 of the 6 beers on tap, every single one was out of this world. Every beer had a nice complex finish, they felt complete and not rushed. The staff was beyond friendly, I recommend everyone to swing by and have one of the best craft beers around. We will be returning soon!

2021 Update! This is still the best place to come for top quality craft beer 🍻 There are always new beers coming on tap, the environment is very welcoming and warm. On nights where there is live music it is an awesome experience.

2022 Update! The good times just keep rolling on 🥳🥳 Luppoleto's is still my #1 stop for refreshing beer. Everything has robust flavors and each new beer continues to impress! We stopped in with a few of our friends, and there was something for everyone! The ambiance makes the area warm and inviting while being laid back and relaxing. Very much worth the visit if you are looking for a great place to enjoy great beer! 🍻🍺🍻🍺

Windsor Locks has a new gem of a business in town! Luppoleto Brewing Co. is tucked into the strip mall along the river in WL. While I was living in EW, I’d come across the bridge and enjoy the tastiest beer around. This brewing co has a strong presence in the community. They were coming off a community bike ride the day I was in. A group of women were setting up a birthday party, so it’s a great open space for parties/gatherings. They have nice long communal tables for large groups. The beer? The beer is delicious! They have a nice variety of flavor profiles. They have a program where you can buy a Veteran a beer! I love the way this brewing company supports our Heroes. You can tell the owners love what they do! I especially enjoyed the delicious food trucks, and trivia night really packs them in! If you like board games, they have an unrivaled selection! I’ve since moved out of state, but when I’m back visiting, I will for sure stop in for a beer or two.

Great beer and plenty of space to play games

I came here with my husband after hearing from a coworker how great the place was and boy am I happy we did. I never would have guessed a great brewery would be in the middle of a strip mall!
We parked right out front about 30 min after they opened and the place was already full of people. They do pints and half pints so my husband and I ordered two half pints to try out a few beers. It was so nice to find a place with more than just IPAs on their tap. I loved their hefeweizen and recommend it.
The pricing was reasonable, the folks inside friendly and nice time overall. I recommend a visit in!
