Beautiful 2nd floor space with elevator. We were there on a Friday night. Though they were busy, it didn't feel crowded or overly noisy. The service was great and the beers are excellent. The best thing is the wood-fired pizza; no waiting in the rain at a food truck.

5 Churches is a brewery in the downtown New Britain area. It's located in an industrial looking brick building, but when you climb the stairs to the main tap room, you'll see high ceilings and lots of cool wood. A gorgeous space. 5 Churches also has a pizza oven, although I haven't tried their food. When I visited, I ordered a 4 beer flight with an American style IPA, an Imperial IPA, a Das Froot Blueberry Pancake Sour, and a Mashacre Imperial Stout. The Blieberry Pancake as a sour was well executed and tasty. Great color, density and mouthfeel too. The other beers were accurately described and pretty good. Would definitely return to check out more beer. 4 Stars

We came here for Trivia night! The host was awesome, super funny, and it was such a good time! Very well executed and a great variety of questions. It was suitable for a wide range of ages and expertise. Music, art & literature, sports, and some misc. it was my first trivia experience & I can't wait to come back! The Buffalo chicken pizza was amazing, also.

Good beer, and service! The ambiance is perfect for a brewery. There was a fundraiser event going on so we didn't hang around long. It is a great place to chill out with a cold beer!

Stopped in for lunch today with friends. Outstanding service, great beer selection, menu included other spirts as well, and great food choices. Elevated bar food for sure. My husband and I shared the pretzel charcuterie and the pineapple burger. So good. We had a variety of beers, I had the prickle pear sour. Loved it.

Came in on a Sunday for a fundraiser. Cool place. The staff was really pleasant other than one grumpy guy... but he came around... lol The beer selection was pretty good, some variety and different types. The pizza was quite good and I'd go back for it. Industrial vibe with mostly high tops. There is an elevator but it wasn't operating that day. The only suggestions I'd have is add Bottled water, that would be nice and we were told they didn't have ice, but they serve soda so that would be nice. We will be back again.

Love the name, honestly I didn't know about this place, I was just looking for a place to hangout before my show. And I'm so glad I stumbled upon it... coz now I come here mainly for the beer. The taproom looks like a factory space ...very spacious, exposed brick walls, large windows.. bright. Plenty seating at the table or a bar (which is my preferred spot). They have 10-12 beers on tap ...the usuals pale ale/ lagers stouts...hard ciders etc drafts (12-16oz) $6-$8. Five oz tasters are $2-$3. Growlers are $8-$13. I usually build my own flight.. but my fav is the "not too shandy" it's such an easy drink.. esp in the summer .. just perfect. Pairs perfectly with the wood fired Pizza ... a thin crust personal pie that you can make however you like. They have table games, a pinball machine, photo booth.. live music and karaoke.. trivia nights .. look for the schedule. A second floor outdoor patio apt for summers. Come check it out if you are in the area... it's worth it!!

Five Churches Brewery is located in New Britain. I'll be honest, I didn't find the area to be particularly safe, from walking from my car to the brewery. But once I stepped inside, it was a world of a difference. It was a brightly lit brewery, with five Christmas trees, behind the bar. There were families with kids, playing card games and enjoying their tasty looking pizzas! I found my friend waiting for me at the bar tops. We ordered pretty similar beers. I got Das Froot: Blackcurrant, Blueberry & Vanilla. This was a nice raspberry color, with a strong sour blueberry flavor, and it had the most pleasant vanilla scent, and aftertaste. It was pretty confusing, but a tasty confusing. My friend had a similar one with a different base, that also had a vanilla scent and aftertaste. We both really enjoyed these. The space inside is really nice, with their large, church like windows and a very old feel. This is a very nice brewery, that had some great sours, pizza and plenty of other beers for your enjoyment.
