Great little brewery in downtown Putnam, CT. Nice selection of IPAs. Blueberry ale was really good. There is a downstairs bar... too. Read more

Never having heard of Putnam, I was even more intrigued to see that a brewery was there, nestled into a revitalized historic... district. It was well worth a long jaunt to visit- Bear Hands is a gem! The Brick Wall Eatery (inside) provided superior flavorwith the fare - not bar food at all! Pictured is the Smoked Chicken & Beer Cheese Dip, which was incredibly good! Also shown isthe White Pizza, which had a punch of garlic and onion. Also shown are the Smoked Chicken Sliders with tangy, golden Carolinamustard. This is a fantastic place to grab grub, even if you?re not a beer aficionado. The beers were on point as well; with anIPA that had dank, piney flavor and a fruit beer that was the perfect summer beverage. Do yourself a FLAVOR (and favor) andcheck out Bear Hands! Read more

The beers were very good and a reasonable selection. We sat outside as it was quite noisy inside. The ordering process for food... was tedious. One of our party had trouble reading their phone in the sunlight and wasn't sure if the order had gone through. Ultimately, they went inside out of the glare. I'm not sure why we couldn't order from the same people and at the same time weordered our beers. I suppose there must be a good reason. Although there is a parking lot right next door, it was pretty fulland wasn't trivial to find a spot. Read more

Fantastic selection here! We ordered a flight of the top sellers and we enjoyed most of them, but weren?t crazy about the ?Hecho... en USA? as it was a little too lime-y for our taste. The flights themselves were a little pricey, but I?m happy to support alocal business and I understand the value of quality ingredients. Would probably just order beer by the glass next time. Wealso ordered the cheese dip and which was sooo yummy. Read more
