Thomas Hooker Brewery
4 reviews for Thomas Hooker Brewery
$10 for bottomless glasses of beer and $2 for slices of pizza. A great way to start the weekend.
The crowd was manageable and the lines moved quickly. Great people watching, I never saw so many tucked in T-shirts before. It was warm, so people spilled outside. Overall it was a fun happy hour.
Good times are to be had at the Hooker Brewery. The beers are pretty good, and for $10 (they bumped it up from $5) you can drink 'til your heart's content.
I'll echo the sentiment of the previous reviewer. There's a very interesting group of people here, and they give you munchies to help you quaff more beer. Granted, they only give you about 40% of a pint with each pour, but it's not hard to stroll back up to the bar and ask for more. Well, it's not hard the first dozen times or so, but then it gets progressively more difficult...
you cant beat $10 for unlimited hookers!!
when i was here it was pretty crowded - and the crowd ranged from college kids getting their drink on to some older foody type people really enjoying the fresh suds. the snacks weren't really worth mentioning, i think it was also someones birthday when we were there - so there was cake, and beer. fill the pint glass (usually half way) and get back on line while you drink .. they had a seasonal beer when we we there - watermelon - which i expected to be gross, but i was pleasantly surprised .. if you are in the area and want to sample all the beers and they are doing one of these open houses you gotta stop by and check it out!!
the ambience is well ... a brewery. you are drinking amongst big stainless kettles and bottling machinery, its pretty cool .. it smells like hops and yeast. this is where the hooker magic happens!
at the end of it all, you get to keep your classy hooker pint glass!
I'm not sure if anyone knows this, but there are places in Greater Hartford making beer. Not selling it, not operating a bar and mixing up some concoctions for the locals, but solely making beer. Who knew!? Anyone who likes the occasional Hooker, that's who. Biweekly, Fridays, 5-8pm, the wonderful folks at the wonderful brewery open up shop for a $5 beer tasting of their classics - Liberator, Munich, Irish Red, American - and all for a good cause. Snacks on barrels, an ecelectic crowd, a great deal. You should check it out. Not only can you pregame in a new spot, you can also bring home your very own Hooker... glass that is. We've got 12.
