On behalf of the Nod Hill crew, we’d like to extend our congratulations to Mr and Mrs Nick and Michelle Doumlele on their wedding this weekend!

These two had their first date ever at Nod Hill, and now, two years later, we just had the honor of hosting their rehearsal dinner to start off their wedding weekend. It’s been so fun getting to know them as they’ve gotten to know each other. Cheers and congratulations to the Doumleles!

This weekend is your first chance to taste a beer brewed on our new system.

We are pouring a fresh batch of Topstone ESB in our Biergarten that was brewed several weeks back on our new BrauKon brewhouse [cans incoming next week].

We’ve immediately noticed dramatic differences — layered depth of malt flavor, purer hop aroma, and a cleanly expressive character to the beer that is incredibly satisfying and delicious. Come give it a try!

Also on draft this weekend:
(subject to change)

Geobunny - NE IPA 6.5%
Pride of Ridgefield - English Golden Ale 4.3%
Big Dog - Cream Ale 5.1%
Magic Mailbox - Fruited Sour 4%
BA Terane - Bourbon Barrel-aged Robust Porter 5.7%
Meadowsong - Oak-aged Farmhouse Ale 6%
Secret Door - NE IPA 7%
Topstone - Extra Special Bitter 5.9%
Ace of Wands - Trappist-inspired Single 5%
Queen of Cups - Trappist-inspired Dubbel 7%
Sound Chaser - NE Pale Ale 5.5%
Rabbit’s Foot - West Coast Pale Ale 5.6%
Moonwalkin’ Cowboy - NE DIPA 8%

cask ale:
Geobunny Nectaron + Krush DDH - NE IPA 6.5%
Pride of Ridgefield - English Golden Ale 4.3%

We were thrilled to support two fantastic organizations within our community with donations this week - the Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT) and Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue (ROAR). We owe a massive thank you to everyone who has come out to our brewery to support these causes, as well as special gratitude to our amazing wholesale partners for supporting our fundraising efforts through the purchase of One for the Trail NEIPA.

The Norwalk River Valley Trail @norwalkrivervalleytrail is a mission we support immensely at Nod Hill. This operation is working to make our community more walkable and accessible through the build out of a 30 mile trail running from Norwalk to Danbury. We brew our One for the Trail New England IPA every year to raise money to support their efforts. This year, with your help, we raised $1845 for NRVT through both Taproom sales and distribution of this beer! Thank you all for supporting this amazing community organization!

Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue @ridgefieldopanimalrescue.roar began as a simple grassroots effort in 2000 to support adoption efforts at the Ridgefield Animal Shelter. ROAR’s efforts then grew to building the Ridgefield Bark Park, establishing a certified Therapy Dog Program, and opening the Donofrio Family Animal Shelter in 2005.

We are proud to announce that we raised $2500 for them this past Sunday with our fundraiser in the Biergarten! Thank you to all those who came out to support this cause, thank you to the patrons who donated and bought Geobunny throughout the event and reserved tables for their family and friends, and thank you to the various sponsors who graciously donated to this fundraiser. Also thank you to @fasterthingsabb for providing great music for this event!

We also raised an additional $450 (and counting) for ROAR this year through round-up-and-give donations from our Tuck In food truck. Thank you all for your continuous generosity to these causes within our community!

After months of planning, installation, and commissioning alongside the team at BrauKon, we’re excited to finally be brewing on our new brewhouse.

While this is a major milestone for our team, it’s really the beginning of the next chapter. Every valve, every pump, and every process has been designed with one goal in mind: brewing better beer.

The biggest difference isn’t just the new equipment. It’s the level of precision. From mash temperatures and water chemistry to lautering, boiling, cooling, and fermentation, we now have greater control over every step of the brewing process. That control allows us to produce more consistent beer while giving our brewing team the ability to continually refine and improve every recipe.

This first brew, featured in this video, is just the beginning. Reaching our first brew day isn’t the summit. It’s the foot of the mountain. Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll continue dialing in recipes, refining our processes, and learning everything this brewhouse has to offer. Every improvement we make brings us one step closer to creating thoughtfully crafted beers that complement the curated experiences we’re proud to share with our customers.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey. We can’t wait for you to taste what’s next!

We wanted to send a little gratitude today towards one of our favorite partners in Litchfield County, Pizzeria Marzano! Located at 1315 East Main Street in Torrington, Marzano’s feels like a home away from home.

Marzanos first opened its doors nearly 17 years ago. We appreciate their devotion to sourcing the cleanest, most authentic ingredients in everything they make. Most everything on their menu - from pizza to paninis to the beverages they offer - is either imported from Italy or carefully sourced locally, and their beautiful Italian-crafted wood-fired oven is the heart of their establishment.

Pizzeria Marzanos continues to be a fantastic supporter of ours. We appreciate how much they love to share our beer with their community and neighbors, how they are thrilled to sample and serve whatever new styles we bring in (Although, we know Jonni has an affinity for Rabbit’s Foot😉).

Next time you’re in the Torrington area, stop in and say hi to the crew for us, and enjoy a delicious pairing of wood-fired pizza and a pint of Nod Hill beer.

Our pollinator meadow, tucked in to the left of our Biergarten, is now in full bloom. August is one of the best times to enjoy the view while sipping a beer in our Biergarten.

This meadow was once an overgrown tangle of invasive shrubs and weeds. Today, it’s a thriving patch of New England-native plantings, like Black-eyed Susans, bee balm, milkweed, coneflowers, and goldenrod, all doing their thing for the local bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

None of this happened without the help of our community and some really special people. Huge thanks to Jana Hogan for spearheading the project, Nancy Kaye for her help, and to the Ridgefield Pollinator Pathway, Eco59 Seed Project, Norwalk River Watershed Association, and The Ridgefield Garden Club for the generous support that made it possible…not to mention our original group of volunteers who helped prep and seed the meadow back in 2021!

Come see it before the season turns - grab a beer (maybe a Meadowsong?) and enjoy the beauty!

We had a great time hosting friends of the @ridgefield_bicycle_club last night for their Thirsty Thursday bike ride! The weather was certainly on our side. 40 riders came out for a sunny 20 mile ride starting at @anconaswines, through to Weston, and then back up north to our brewery for some nice cold beers after.

We love to host outings like this - and hope to host many more - for our community’s cycling, hiking, and walking clubs🚴

2) As we start to build our very own Oktoberfest food menu for the first time ever, we brought a little teaser to our menu this week in the form of Festbier Gravy for a new Poutine Special . For this special, Chef Annie prepared a creamy homemade gravy with shallots and thyme, deglazed with our very own Festbier to give it a unique - and quite delicious - bready malt character.

🍺 𝔽𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕓𝕚𝕖𝕣🍺
A 5% German-style Fest Lager. Our Festbier has a bready Heirloom Pilsner malt chracter, refreshing drinkabikity, and a hearty flavor. Step-mashed, hopped in the kettle with Hallertau-Mittelfruh hops, and lagered patiently for an extended period of weeks for natural clarity without any filtration or fining. Best enjoyed by the liter!

Coming to draft this next week: 𝕄𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕔 𝕄𝕒𝕚𝕝𝕓𝕠𝕩, fermented with tangerine and mango.

Magic Mailbox is a tart, fruit-saturated beer. Brewed with generous amounts of malted and unmalted white winter wheat, then rounded out with a light touch of milk sugar to balance the bright acidity. Deep pink in color from dried hibiscus flowers, with a fruit-packed palate from mango & tangerine purees added during fermentation. Perfect for those hot summer days🍊🥭

Introducing one of our lead servers, who has been with the brewery since March of 2021 - Sean Holm!

Many of you have probably met Sean in some capacity in his many years working with us. He is pretty unforgettable.

Before starting at Nod Hill, Sean worked nearly 20 years in Technology Support, so delivering excellent customer service is pretty much second nature to him. In his now 6 years with us, he has thoroughly enjoyed his role in hosting patrons, both new and old, and introducing them to beer styles they had never even thought to try and have now come to love.

Outside of his role at Nod Hill, Sean loves to cook/grill for friends and family, especially Baltimore-style Pit Beef Sandwiches and Mexican Street Tacos. He also grows a pretty extensive variety of heirloom peppers in his garden.

Some might say he is a massive retro video game nerd. Actually, we all would say that. He also loves snuggling up with his two very sweet cats, Sox and Ella.

His favorite meal to end a shift at Nod Hill would be anything with Annie’s homemade Focaccia bread, paired with the one and only Beam Pilsner.

Say hi to Sean next time you drop in!👋

Over the last few weeks, our brewhouse has undergone a massive transformation. As the first phase of construction is wrapping up and most of our new @braukon equipment has been stationed in its permanent home, we wanted to provide you with a little tour of our new two-vessel automated brewhouse system.

This next week, we will begin the commissioning stage of this process, which consists of testing out the plumbing and electrical engineering of all the new equipment. And then we will brew our first batch of beer on our new BrauKon system.

Freshly canned this week: 𝕊𝕖𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕥 𝔻𝕠𝕠𝕣.

This 7% New England IPA peeks into a classic Mosaic and Amarillo hop combo, with a few new friends tagging along. Fresh-cut pineapple and grassy aromatics lead the way, followed by notes of grapefruit, lemon, and lime oils. Hints of strawberry and dragonfruit flesh keep things weird in the best way. Medium-bodied, soft, and slick.

Currently available in 4-packs, along with lots of other Nod Hill favorites like Beam, Le Bûcheron, and Moonwalkin Cowboy.
