The Rise WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A CONNECTICUT FARM BREWERY? Think being on a farm, drinking delicious handcrafted beer, made right there, created from Connecticut-grown ingredients. These are niche operations: Connecticut Farm Breweries can only brew 75,000 gallons of beer or less per year and 25-50% of the hops and barley used must be locally grown. The benefit of these breweries is that they help preserve our Connecticut farmland in addition to creating delicious, uniquely local beer.
