Branford FAQs

Everything you need to know ahead of your visit.

Yes. At the Branford location, we have some great food options from NEBCO Kitchen, our official in-house kitchen. View their menu here and keep an eye out for rotating specials.

In addition to NEBCO Kitchen, we also offer pizza from Naples Pizza Truck. See you soon!
Yes. The Branford location is family friendly; however, we are first and foremost a brewery for adults. Please be mindful of the following house rules to ensure everyone has an enjoyable time:

• Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian at all times.

• Chaperoning groups of children who are not your own is strictly prohibited.

• Children must stay within arm’s reach of their parent or guardian at all times. They cannot roam the property or dock unattended.

• Any children under 12 years old must wear a life vest while on the docks.
• No running, throwing, or rough play. Rocks must stay on the ground.
• Tables, chairs, rocks, trees, landscaping, and the dock are not for climbing or jumping.
• Outdoor games are for everyone’s enjoyment - please treat them with care.

We love offering a family friendly space, and it's equally important to us to maintain a positive taproom experience for everyone. With that in mind, these rules will be strictly enforced by our team.

Thanks so much for understanding and helping make NEBCO a welcoming space for everyone!
