Relic Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Plainville CT)

Relic Brewing in Plainville, Connecticut is a surprisingly spacious operation. The interior splits cleanly into a dedicated bar and a sprawling main hall, the latter fitted with a row of pin‑ball machines that keep the atmosphere as lively as a Saturday night in a school cafeteria. On tap you’ll find a respectable roster that ranges from velvety Imperial Stouts to hop‑laden Barleywines, each poured with the sort of confidence usually reserved for high‑end restaurants.

The whiskey list reads like a small museum of the spirit, boasting one of the best selections this side of the state line. Staff glide around with the kind of friendly authority that makes you feel you’ve stepped into the inner circle of beer aficionados (the sort of place that makes you think you’ve discovered a secret). Their knowledge is impressive, yet they never come across as pretentious. In short, Relic Brewing delivers variety, quality, and an ambience that turns a casual drink into a small celebration.
