Only here for the pie? Same. 🥧
Only Here for the Pie — the first of TWO new brews premiering this Wednesday (11/26) — drops at 12PM for limited four-packs and fresh pours.
A Pumpkin Pie Sour inspired by the best part of Thanksgiving: cozy spice, sweet pumpkin, and that crumble-crust vibe that tastes like skipping straight to the good stuff. And yes, there’s a crumble crust rim waiting for you in the taproom.
This is your cue for the annual tradition where we all collectively stop pretending we’re actually working on Thanksgiving Eve.
Show up early. Grab dessert. The turkey can wait
Thanksgiving Eve Vendors
Between 5–9PM on 11/26, consider your holiday browsing handled. We’ve invited some awesome local vendors to set up shop in the taproom — so you can sip, shop, and pretend you’re officially “getting ahead” on gift buying.
Featuring:
• Max Gigle Vinyl
• Gray Area Kitchen Provisions
• Ink and Grain
Come hang, grab a pint, and knock out a little early shopping the fun way.

holiday hops
Brewed with bright, aromatic hop terpenes, Holiday Hops IPA is our seasonal way of giving back. This year, we’re proud to support Connecticut Foodshare, whose mission is to reduce hunger and food insecurity across our state through community partnerships, food distribution, and vital support services.
For every pint poured in the taproom, $1 will be donated to Connecticut Foodshare, and 10% of all can sales will go directly toward supporting their work.
Holiday Hops IPA is available in cans and on draft — drink great beer, and help us support an even greater cause.

Winter just got a lot tastier!
There’s something new cooking in The Kitchen at Back East.
Our winter menu is here with fresh burgers, a new bowls, crispy brussels sprouts, tacos, and more! Perfect for pairing with a pint and settling in for the season.
The new menu kicks off this Wednesday! Come get cozy — we’ll save you a seat.

We’re spreading some holiday cheer in the taproom this season with our annual Christmas Toy Drive!
