Great Falls Brewing Company - Canaan

Fine beer and a friendly atmosphere in a historic train station

Great atmosphere, great staff and the beers were delicious... Bring your own food if there is no food truck!!!!

Awesome stop after our Appalchian hike! Great conversations with other guests and Mike behind the bar. We'll be back!!

Great Falls has great beer and they support great causes! I was all the way up here for a 5K race early on a Saturday morning. Great Falls was one of the race sponsors helping to raise money for a women 's support group (apologies for not remembering the name of the group). The brewery hosted the race awards and offered all racers a free beer, in addition to a 10% off coupon. They also provided the prizes! Beautiful flowers and plants for Mother 's Day weekend and the Mother 's Day race, as well as beer gift cards! Something for every type of mother. Huge plus for supporting community and causes!Everyone who raced and stuck around for the post-award gathering was a winner! The place is spacious with a cool bar, small patio, games, and a cool lodge feel and vibe. Their beer is delicious. I have seen kegs on tap here and there in spots around Connecticut (usually tapped), but I finally got it straight from the source. Lots of beers to select from. I did a post-run sampler, which included a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake sour, a chocolate Doppelbock, a New England IPA, and a cookies and cream stout. I wish I could have stayed longer, but did take plenty of cans home to share! Generous group, delicious beer, and the owner spent a lot of his childhood in Chester, my town. Not sure I could love this place any more!

Cool venue with amazing craft beer. Make sure you do a tasting flight! You won't be disappointed. If you are in the vicinity it's definitely worth the drive. You can take in some history as well.
