Little Red Barn Brewers | CT Brewery | Craft Beer | Event Venue | Live Music - Winsted, Connecticut

Aleksander Meterko

This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I have been to Little Red Barn more than a year ago and decided to pay another visit for the sake of review. My experience was nice the first time, but the second time it was even better.

The space is huge. It has one indoor hall on the first floor, two separated indoor halls on the second floor, an outside patio and another patio on a deck. This setup makes it easy to isolate the space for any private events. In fact, there were 2 private events going during my visit and they did not bother the rest of the guests due to this isolation. There is a parking space right next to the brewery and a bigger parking lot on the next street.

I was pleased to see that the place has evolved so much since my last visit. They now have a full kitchen and a bar. Everything we ordered was top-notch - beers, food and cocktails. They have a wide selection of different varieties of beers, although IPAs have a bigger presence compared to other styles. You can order beer flights of 4. For this review I tried most of their offerings on tap. I particularly enjoyed the Little Red Palm Tree (Cream Ale) and Everyman's Porter. But I have to say that almost all their beers were solid.

Overall, me and my family enjoyed this place a lot. I will recommend it not just to craft beer enthusiasts, but also for anyone who likes good food and beer.

Good food, great atmosphere, excellent selection of beer. The seasonal ciders are great. My favorite foods include the flat bread pizzas, the pretzel with beer cheese, and the balsamic chicken sandwich. The servers and bar tenders are excellent. There's live music here sometimes and trivia nights usually on Thursdays.

Nice, spacious brewery which features live music. Wide selection of distinctive proprietary brews, and good chow on menu. Friendly waitstaff. Clean bathroom and open-air seating in season. Tight parking out front.

7.21.24 Small venue but big personality. Food was amazing, drinks were amazing, service was fantastic. Parking available in the back if front is full. Indoor and outdoor seating. Besides beer, they have a full bar so can make any drink, plus serve some local wine.

What can I say?! A staple in the area. It has been lovely watching “the barn” grow over the last 3 1/2 years we’ve lived in Winsted. A true testament to the owner hard work and dedication. The staff is always kind and it is v
really great seeing the owners commitment to connecting with and engaging with the folks in their community. I cannot speak highly enough of the barn and everyone there. And their fries are bangin’!!

Such an awesome brewery. Great brews and great food. Awesome history and lineage too. Can't wait to go back!

Updated: I'm absolutely falling in love with this place. What an amazing location! There's such a massive amount of growing potential, I really can't wait to see what the future holds. Always looking forward to my next trip!

Sept 2023 - This is a relaxing place to go if you are a microbrew fan. Spacious property with both inside and outside seating during seasonal weather. Meeting friends here, all of our house beer and cider was fresh and crisp with the correct specifications of each variety notable on the first sip. Lagers, ales, IPA, Stouts, cider and Porter all available on tap. Local wines are also on the menu. Food is not served here aside from chips, which is common among breweries, but patrons can order delivery from nearby restaurants or bring their own home cooking. Local musicians often provide entertainment. Dog friendly.
