if you're in the area, downtown is City Steam Brewery Cafe

http://www.citysteambrewerycafe.com/

I only got to sample their porter (a bit boozey) , the oatmeal stout (nice dry slightly bitter) and the ACAPULCO GOLD, an APA with nice amount of citrus to it. Next time I'm in town I will go back for a full pint or 4.


There are some good places to eat downtown, a new science centre building, some historic buildings, nice park at the state building. You could probably walk around for an hour and see stuff. West Hartford has a street shopping area you can walk.

Went to a chain liquor store outside of Hartford, M&R Liquors. Lots of wine, and some beer. OK lots of beer. I picked up stuff from the usual craft brews like Stone, Dogfish, Great Divide, Southern Tier, Rouge., plus some more local stuff.

Manchester Wine and Liquors, just northeast of Hartford, is fantastic.
