Our first trip to Thomas Hooker Brewery was very pleasant. It was a quite Tuesday afternoon. Kudos to them for being open on a Tuesday, as not many are and it’s our only day kid free. We were greeted promptly by the bartender who was super friendly and knowledgeable of their beers. As always, we only order a flight. We are lightweights. Don’t judge us. We tried Tropical Storm, #NoFilter, Brewer’s Share and Chocolate Truffle Stout. Misty really loved the Tropical Storm and I love the Chocolate Truffle Stout. I also asked for a taste of the Thicc AF. It was amazing. The place is very clean and open. Lots of seating available for parties or individuals. We also got a little help from Ron (I hope) when we were being those annoying picture takers. He came over and let us get some shots and even took a few of us together. Super friendly guy! Thanks for that! To add to the allure, they also have a great menu. Many options from appetizers to pizza. We ate the BBQ Pulled Pork and Mac ‘n Cheese pizza. It was so good! I definitely recommend it. I would put this brewery on your list of great surprise breweries. We never know what to expect when we go, but we were pleasantly surprised by this one!

Penwood State Park

Reviewed By dustythoughts - Manchester, United States

This park has some lovely, albeit challenging trails and some gorgeous scenery. There are also paved trails if you want something more relaxing. There's also a pretty waterfall. Great park for relaxing, hiking, and/or enjoying scenery and people-watching. This is a great alternative if Talcott Park is crowded.

Such a fun relaxed experience! The staff was great! They have outdoor and indoor seating with hand sanitizer at every table. A food truck a step away full of yummy options. I highly recommend the ice-cream man IPA with a black berry topper, yum! I’d love to visit again if we’re in the area!
