New England Brewing Company, located in Woodbridge, Connecticut, is a small craft brewery pumping out quality beers with big flavor.
Owner and brewer Rob Leonard and Head Brewer Matt Westfall have gained quite a reputation in the Northeast for their tasty brews.
This past fall, NEBCO installed a new brewing system, which will allow them to brew nearly twice as much beer in 2016 as they did in 2015.
NEBCO is most known for Gandhi-Bot, or G-Bot, which is an intensely hopped Double India Pale Ale brewed with a blend of three varieties of American hops. Another popular beer is Fuzzy Baby Ducks, a single hop IPA. Both beers are rated “world class” on BeerAdvocate.com.
Sea Hag is a rich India Pale Ale with complex malt notes blended with the earthy and citrusy goodness of Cascade and Noble hops. NEBCO describe this beer as one “that satisfies the “hop head” out there and won’t chase away the newcomer. Drink it. It’s good.”
