Hartford Brewery Opens, Thrives Amid Pandemic

HARTFORD, CT — While the pandemic has hit businesses across the state hard, one Hartford brewery is persevering. Phantom Brewing is the newest craft-beer brewery and opened during the lockdown, The Hartford Business Journal reported.

Phantom started as a homebrew and restaurant supply business, then opened the brewery side of the business in April.

The owners said that once the pandemic hit and business slowed, they began planning the opening of the brewery in the 3,000-square-foot industrial space, according to The Hartford Business Journal.

The Murphy Road brewery started with curbside-only sales. The taproom remains closed, but they recently opened an outdoor space in accordance with state guidelines.

Phantom Brewery also has a range of food trucks bringing barbecue and wings. Find out more by checking out their Facebook page.
