Bad Sons Beer Co

Went for trivia night which was cool Apizza was fine but underdone not enough garlic in the mashed potatoes. And took almost an hour to get. Beer was undrinkable following the SBC playbook of green beers on draft. Surprisingly it is busy when I drive by but it is the valley

I went here on a Saturday afternoon for a reunion of sorts with some people I used to work with. They were having some type of beer festival in the parking lot and the whole place was super busy. We waited for a long time and never really got a table. We did find some seating at some point but it was along the back wall so between the arrangement and the noise level it was impossible to talk without having to yell. We ordered pizza, which took nearly an hour to come out. The pizza was very good. Overall bad timing I guess, it wasn't very good. Looks like plenty of parking if there is no event going on.

Had a great time here over the weekend. I really liked the games and assorted activities they had for folks to play with while at the brewery. A big connect four, a nice shuffle board table, giant jenga, card games, wooden puzzles, etc. I 've been to several great breweries in the area and unfortunately they don 't have any games. The beer variety was excellent. They have something for every beer lover and they have cocktails for your picky friends. The pizza from Roseland Apizza was great! Definitely recommend trying one while you 're there. The mashed potato Carbo-holic pizza is 5 stars.

Excellent brewery! Excellent staff! Excellent Roseland pizza. Really nice brewery... bright airy. Very attentive bar staff. Beer tastes good. A fun experience!

Bad Sons Beer Company is a craft brewery that opened in Derby, Connecticut in July 2017. It was founded by brothers Bill Mark DaSilva as well as their business partners John Walsh, Dan DiSorbo and Mike Student. The DaSilva Brothers previously had success in Connecticut 's craft beer industry when they founded Southport Brewing Company in Fairfield in 1996. At the height of their success, the small brewpub chain had five locations throughout the state. Today there is only one location left (Milford) and they no longer brew their own beer. Eventually the brothers wanted to get back into brewing, so they purchased the circa 1904 Manger Die Casting Company building in Derby and gave it a major facelift. The name 'Bad Sons ' was chosen as an acronym comprising all the towns of the Naugatuck River Valley (Beacon Falls, Ansonia, Derby, Seymour, Oxford, Naugatuck and Shelton). The name is also a reference to how the DaSilvas ' father jokingly referred to them as the 'bad sons ' after their older brother became a pastor. Mark, who serves as the head brewmaster, and his team brew a wide range of different beer styles. In 2020, the partners opened a Roseland Apizza satellite pizza kitchen on the premises. The legendary Derby pizzeria was founded in 1935 and is located just a few blocks away from the brewery. I recently stopped for lunch at Bad Sons along with my young son. I 've been to Bad Sons several times in the past, but this was the first time since they opened the pizza kitchen. When we first arrived, I ordered a sampler flight which consisted of Veruca 's Demise (Cranberry Gose with Orange), Bad Billy (Brown Ale), Street Fight (New England IPA), and Boobious (Hazy IPA). The latter was my favorite of the flight. After looking over the pizza menu, my son and I ordered The 1935 (Tomato Sauce, Grated Parmesan, Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and The BadSonOfA... (Chicken, Bacon, Hot Cherry Peppers, Mozzarella). My son enjoyed watching the friendly pizzaioli making our pies. These pizzas were excellent; not as good as pizza from the original Roseland, but still VERY good. Excellent sauce and crispy crust!! I know my son liked his because he didn 't make a peep for almost an hour. I washed my apizza down with a delicious full pour of Winter Haze (Hazy IPA with Spruce Tips). If you 're looking for a great place in The Valley to get great craft beer and delicious New Haven-style pizza, then head to Bad Sons!
