Connecticut Beer Tours is a Plainville, Connecticut–based company that designs and operates curated brewery, cider, and distillery tours across Connecticut. The company offers both private and public experiences that guide guests to regional Ale Trails, including Middlesex County, Northern Middlesex County, Southern Middlesex County, New London, the Silk City (Manchester), and the Litchfield Hills (Northwest CT). Many beer tours feature tastings at four breweries and include pizza and transportation. The CT Hard Cider Tour is offered as a private trip with stops at three cider locations and a pizza lunch for groups up to 13. Private distillery trips visit Litchfield Distillery, Continuum Distilling, and Waypoint Spirits, and are available for groups; some private trips list capacity for up to 13 guests. Select public tours provide convenient pick-up locations, safe transportation, and pizza delivered to stops. Special events, such as the CT Distillery Tour featuring Hartford Flavor Co., Waypoint Spirits, and the 196 Club speakeasy, are occasionally scheduled. Tours accommodate groups of friends and special occasions, with customizable private itineraries on several routes. Connecticut Beer Tours focuses on local craft beverage discovery, pairing tastings with social, guided experiences across multiple Connecticut regions. Guests join these tours to sample regional beers, ciders, and spirits while enjoying curated routes, included food, and organized transportation meant to simplify logistics and enhance the outing.
Reservations are required for many private trips, and public tour dates are scheduled in advance; the operator coordinates logistics, pickup locations, and timing to deliver a seamless tasting experience across Connecticut.
