What's On Tap

Prices are left to right for Refill on Howlers and Full Pours.

In-house Pony’s (8oz) and Samples (5oz) are available.

Crashing The Party (Oh Yeah!) 5.1% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $15 | Full $8

This Juice Box Sour is fruity deliciousness, that is reminiscent of your favorite childhood drink, with an adult twist. It'll leave you saying OH YEAH!
Czeching Up 9.0% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $15 | Full $8

This Imperial Bohemian Pilsner flaunts a respectable ABV behind its slightly sweet malt body. With much lower hop bitterness than a German of American Pilsner the bready, biscuit like malt character really steals the show.
Ermegerd 5.0% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $14 | Full $7

This peanut butter cup stout is loaded down with multiple additions of peanut butter that is very present up front, and just a touch of cacao to add the underlying chocolate flavor on the back end. Ermagerd is all I can say!
Show Me Mosaic 6.6% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $13 | Full $7

"Show Me" is our popular single hopped New England IPA series that rotates out a new hop each time around. Sharing the same grain bill this beer is nice and hazy with just enough body to not steal the "Show" from the featured hop. This batch we used the Mosaic hop. Mosaic hop is the daughter of the bittering hop Simcoe. Full of vibrant berry flavors and an earthy complexity the wonderful berry fruitfulness of Mosaic is complemented by a contrasting earthy, piney taste.
Sanity Pils 5.0% abv-16oz 32oz Refill $12 | Full $7

Popular in Munich, Germany this Pale Kellerbier is a moderately malty Pils that showcases a cloudy appearance. Don’t let that fool you, it’s very light in body making it a pleasantly drinkable Bier.
Assumed Intelligence 5.2% abv-16oz 32oz Refill $12 | Full $7

This unique lagered ale is fermented at cool temperatures to create a hybrid between an ale and a lager. Brown to caramel in color with a clean and crisp overall drinkability. The rich malts and fruity esters contribute to its nutty finish.

Scribbling Inside The Lines 7.5% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $15 | Full $8

This Double New England IPA harnesses the chaotic fury of a toddler with a crayon and contains it within the style guide lines of a juicy NE DIPA. Sticking with more traditional hops we added multiple rounds of Chinook, Centennial, and Falconers Flight, to create this delicious libation.
Ada's Shenaniganery 8.0% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $15 | Full $8

I think the name says it all for this Imperial Milk Stout. Ada ; Our eldest Daughter's, Shenaniganery ; A made up word that embodied the shenanigans we were up to on her first full brew day with me. This beer lives up to its name, it's a bold and complicated blend of flavors, balanced out with the rich sweetness you'd expect from an Imperial Milk Stout.
Jinger’s Brown 6.3% abv-16oz 32oz Refill $11 | Full $7

An American meets European brown ale. The grain bill and the hops cross international waters to make a medium body brown ale featuring a light toffee flavor with a crisp finish.
All Juiced Up 7.0% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $13 | Full $7

This juicy N.E. IPA has all the ingredients you need to get pumped up. This power hopped beer is packed full of all your favorite hops, Galaxy, Amarillo, Simcoe, and Mosaic.
Violet Beauregard's Revenge 32oz Refill $15 | Full $7

Revenge is a dish best served cold, carbonated, and with plenty of fruit! This Blueberry ale is over the top with over 220 pounds of blueberries, added at multiple points throughout the brewing process. We're sure that Violet Beauregard herself would be proud of just how many blueberries were harmed in the making of this beer.
Ace Perry 5.0% abv-12oz 32oz Refill $13| Full $7

First released in 1996 ACE Perry is the first Perry cider to ever be made in California. This thirst quenching cider is refreshing and light. ACE Perry pairs well with spice foods and Asian cuisine. This cider is semi-sweet with a dry finish.

Our Story

Bear Hands Brewing Company is Us. My husband Justin, is the brewer and I Kayla, am the business. While raising our kids, Ada now 8 and Colin now 4 we decided to take on the endeavor of opening a brewery and tap room and still trying to balance work/ life/… brewery. We took Justin’s 14 year- homebrewing hobby, to the next level. After, the good feedback from our inner circle, we started traveling all around CT, from beer fest to beer fest. Pouring our beer for the masses, and again the feedback was great! That’s when we took it upon ourselves to formulate a business plan to open our very own Brewery and Tap Room. We wanted to make brewing a career so we could share our passion for beer and atmosphere with everyone. After, three long years of highs and lows we accomplished what we set out to do, our brewery doors are finally open! Bear Hands Brewing Company’s charming home is in the quiet corner of downtown Putnam, CT.
