Resort Casino Adds Popular Connecticut Brewpub to Growing List of Attractions

August 8, 2018 – Foxwoods® Resort Casino today opened Stony Creek Brewery, a fully operational brewpub with an award-winning beer selection. The opening marks another step in Foxwoods' continued evolution as the Northeast's premier full-service resort destination.

The brewery is Stony Creek's second brewing operation following their flagship Branford, Connecticut location. With two floors, 7,100 square feet and seating for over three hundred guests, Stony Creek Brewery is a paradise for craft brew lovers and an oasis for Foxwoods guests looking to relax and enjoy delicious food and drink. Stony Creek is the third major addition to the Fox Theater District since 2017, following the debuts of celebrity hot-spot Sugar Factory and interactive gaming experience PLAY Arena @ Foxwoods.

"Stony Creek Brewery at Foxwoods is the result of two of Connecticut's premier brands joining together to create a fun social atmosphere with great local craft beer," said Jason Guyot, Senior Vice President Resort Operations at Foxwoods. "Stony Creek Brewery has been an incredible partner and we're thrilled to give our guests a new and exciting Foxwoods experience."

Both floors of Stony Creek Brewery offer distinct experiences. The ground floor is designed as an ode to Stony Creek's New England heritage which also includes a spacious beer garden and a brew deck with a view into the brewhouse, giving guests a first-hand look at the beer production process. Those looking to pair their beer with a bite to eat are in luck as Foxwoods has designed a brand new mouthwatering menu concept for Stony Creek.

The chic second-floor design includes a full Southern California-themed beer and cocktail bar, a stage for live entertainment and an elevated banquet table overlooking the property. Adding to the refined but laid-back atmosphere, guests can also lounge in the Pool House, an intimate space with canvas privacy screens, integrated bar counter and a large HD video screen.

"Over the last year we have forged a strong relationship with Foxwoods Resort Casino," said Stony Creek founder Ed Crowley Sr. "They have shown a genuine belief in the importance of supporting local craft beer, which made them the perfect partner for this endeavor. Stony Creek Brewery at Foxwoods offers the same comforts our guests experience at our home brewery in Branford, complete with a beer garden, five-barrel operating brewing system and second floor beer cocktail lounge. We have created a truly one of a kind space that serves as a premier destination for beer enthusiasts."

Brewmaster Andy Schwartz leads the team in charge of beer production and innovation, and the brewery features multiple high-definition TVs, family-style and communal seating, and a gift shop with promotional items including coasters, shirts and posters.
