By The Bay Niantic

By The Bay Niantic By the Bay | Niantic, CT Five Churches By the Bay is the coastal cousin of the popular Five Churches Brewing, a brewery and taproom located in New Britain, CT.
(1)

Five Churches Brewing opened their doors in 2018 and quickly found their place in the lineup of excellent Connecticut breweries. A rotating menu of brews to suit every taste, and gourmet brick oven pizza made right in the taproom has made our New Britain brewery a popular destination for our Connecticut neighbors near and far. Dropping anchor in Niantic with a new operation is like opening up the

beach house for us. Our Five Churches family has a history of spending summers in Niantic that goes back 50+ years, and we’re excited to once again call Niantic home! What can you expect at “5C By the Bay”? You can look forward to a rotating lineup of Five Churches beer including our popular “Weerder” fruit ale series which pairs quite nicely with a day at the beach! We’ll be offering our popular brick oven pizza and additional casual dining fare with indoor and outdoor seating options. With some long hours, lots of hard work, and a bit of luck, we’re hoping to be opening our doors to you this Fall!
