O.H.S.O. Brewery

By EastCoastBrewReviewer -

The Stats 

Location: Phoenix, AZ

History: The name stands for "Outrageous Homebrewer's Social Outpost". There are three locations throughout Arizona and all feature a menu filled with food, beer and spirits. 

Food Service: Yes, they have a full menu. 

Website: ohsobrewery.com

The Scenario 

We got a spot right at the large bar which features a big, orange bicycle in the middle. It was pretty packed for being early afternoon on a weekday. We ordered our beers and people-watched. What is really cool about this brewery is their huge outdoor space. They have a lot of outdoor seating and dogs are welcome! The menu looked pretty delicious and we definitely would have ordered something if we didn't just eat brunch a short drive away. A huge selection of beers accompanies their selection of cocktails. What sets this brewery apart from others we've been to is their distillery. Although we didn't check it out, (we had a few more breweries to hit later on that day) they had a range of spirits and a whole separate tasting room.

The Ratings

Popcycle Blonde 

 D: 4/5 - Tastes like you're drinking a melted lemon raspberry popsicle in a pint glass. 
K: 4.5/5 - Being the baseball coach that I am, I'm gonna go ahead and say it tastes like Gatorade Glacier Cherry which is one of my favorites!

 Wit

 K: 4/5 - Refreshing and spicy witbier

 Cherry Lemonade Stand

 K: 3.5/5 - Not too sour but you can definitely taste the sweet cherry flavor 

 Orange Wheat

 D: 4.5/5 - Tastes like a creamsicle and I love creamsicles
K: 4.5/5 - You can definitely taste vanilla but not overpowering. A really good mixture of orange and vanilla, super unique. 

Final Thoughts

D: 4/5 - I really liked OHSO. It would've been a good stop to grab a bite if we weren't so stuffed from breakfast. The outdoor patio was a nice option for a sunny day. The beer was very unique and the flavor of Orange Wheat was sooo good. I definitely recommend this place. 

K: 4.5/5 - I loved this place. What made it stand out for me was the beer and the beer selection. Liking unfiltered wheat beers, this place did not disappoint. From the Wit to the Popcycle Blonde to the Cherry Lemonade Stand, these beers were legit. The vibe and decor were also on point. One of my favorite breweries in AZ.

The Stats  Location: Bridgeport, CT History: Opening in August 2016, this brewery has seen much success already. The large space which was once the central distribution center for all out of town newspapers was found by the Barrett brothers who approached the long-time brewer of BAR in New Haven with the idea of opening a place of their own.  Food Service: Yes, assorted pizzas and salads.  Websit e: brewportct.com The Scenario Right off the high way, Brewport is in a fantastic location . We bster Bank Arena is a stone's throw away and it seems like Brewport is definitely trying to attract that crowd. With pizzas and salads on the menu, Brewport is focused on f ast fare , perfect for a night at a show or sporting event. As we entered we saw a large room full of typical giant brewery games (jenga, c onnect four, etc.) The main hall consists of the full bar as well as plentiful seating which consists of two levels of tables . Rusti c decor adorns the space with a wood e

Fairfield Craft Ales

The Stats  Location:  Stratford, C T History: Fairfield Craft Ales opened in early July 2016 with a little help from the crowd-funding site, KickStarter. Mike and Joe have more than 25 years of brewing experience and have always been music lovers. So, it just makes sense that their dream was to open a brewery that serves beer inspired by music.  Food Service: No, they only have some chips and soda. Otherwise it's BYOF.  Websit e :  fairfieldcraftales.com The Scenario This weekend we revisited Fairfield Craft Ales (FCA) since we first went during their opening week back in July. This brewery is a stark contrast from its neighbor, Two Roads, just 3 minutes down the road. The small taproom gives this brewery a home-y feel. The first time we visited, we were greeted similarly to the locals on Cheers . We felt welcomed immediately and this time was no different. Although, FCA and Two Roads are very different structurally, they do have one thing in common: they brew good beer.
