Barrington Brewery and Restaurant
Since 1995 Barrington Brewery has been serving our own Barn Brewed Beer and food made from scratch. We were the first brewery on the east coast to install a solar panel system that supplies solar-heated hot water for brewing and restaurant use. Our kitchen features scratch made desserts and locally sourced ingredients when possible.
We offer grass fed burgers & local sausages by the Alpine Pork Store in Catskill, NY and Nodine’s Smokehouse in Goshen, CT. Our beer flavors many of our made from scratch dishes, including our Cheddar Ale Soup, chilis, barbecue sauce, salad dressings and famous Chocolate Stout Cake.
Our 7-barrel system is powered by both photovoltaic and a solar hot water heating system and is housed right in the tavern. We brew primarily ales but run a lager series each spring.
