Badsons Brewery is located at 251 Roosevelt Dr. in Derbey, CT and was established in 2017. The building sits across the street from the river in an old brick factory/manufacturing space. The beer taps are attached to a giant old press, the bathrooms are from the industrial times and the indoor space is a large volume with the brewery tanks on onside and dinning on the other. There is indoor/outdoor seating area, limited food menu, fire pits, some table top games, and is a family friendly space. Some of the beers are available to purchase in 4-packs or in growlers.
Winter Haze is one of their seasonal winter IPA’s. It has a medium to heavy body with light pine wood notes and a clean finish. As the beer warms up more of the flavors come out but the 7% abv is not overpowering. It leans a little on the heavy side and is definitely a winter beer, not a summer drinker.
Badsons brews the best IPA’s I have sampled so far in my entire life. There are a few IPA’s that can hold their ground against Badsons, but they do not have the same quality of taste. Badson beer is hard to find in the stores, so you will have to search them out or visit the brewery to stock up.
