A nice brewery and eatery with a variety of craft beer, ciders, and wine available. They offer a nice line up of beers from IPAs to stouts. The Graze eatery offers your typical pub snacks and meal options. The friendly staff and owners make sure you are taken care of. The brewery offers a nice outdoor patio with a fire pit and a view of the Arrigoni bridge over the Connecticut River. Many weekends the brewery offers live music. This brewery tucked by the bridge is worth finding.

Had an event at Concentric where you are required to purchase food off their catering menu. (Can’t bring in your own). Food was terrible, & way over priced !!! However on a good note Service, atmosphere & beer was very good!

Stopped in recently for some beers on the patio. it sees the food vendor has switched for the better from the previous food vendors. Had a flight of beers and a chicken sandwich - the service was a 5, the beers were a 3.5 and the food was a 3 but based on no half points had to go with a 3. the chicken sandwich was a little tough and possibly undercooked a bit and the fries wee limp. The flavor was good but they need to work on executionWill go again because everyone has a bad day occasionally

I came here to watch the fireworks with friends. It has a variety of beer, but I am not a beer drinker, so I tried their cider. It was ok. As for food, they did not serve anything beside hamburger and potatoes salad that day. There were no condiments, the burger was ok and the potatoes salad was not good, some of the potatoes were undercooked. Since that was the only food option, I expected the food to be better. The scenery was cool. There are many games available to play.

Very friendly and welcoming spot! Nice outdoor seating area, plenty of indoor seating, & lots of board games available to play at your table. The beer was definitely above average & will be appreciated by beer snobs like me. 16 beers on tap, 7 IPA's & the rest is a nice mix of styles. Great venue, friendly staff, & very good beer!

5.25.23 Ample parking, The indoors is spacious but kind of dark with some tvs and a bar with seats all around. The outdoors is cool with outdoor firepit and Adirondack seating all around. We saw kids and dogs. The beer was fantastic. And staff very friendly and helpful.

This is a no flight zone!Watch out...this is a No flight zone !!!Watch out for the ‘up charges.’ I only intended on sampling drink or two of their 5oz and moving on and share the experience. I always support innovation in the brewing world, then I seen the bartender was selling flights i.e 4x5oz brews so I thought let me try more brews so I can spread the word on more brews they have to my fellow brew fans friends. I was charged extra!! The math didn’t work out! Concentrick (yes with K) charge $2 more for each of the lesser brews I had! I asked the bartender and got a it’s because of the fruit blah blah! etc type answer. So the customers pay MORE for the same drink if it comes as a flight.Drinks were ok but my suggestion, instead of the flights just order single 5oz and you’ll just may escape the extra charges for the same drink....insane.Thanks not coming back.

Concentric Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Portland, Connecticut in February 2021. It was founded by partners Dave Peichert, Drew France and head brewer Brian Aida. Peichert works as a financial planner while France is a Middletown firefighter and Aida is a physical therapist. All three live in Portland and bonded over their shared love of homebrewing. They showcased their beer at various brew festivals around the state. After seeing the positive reception it got, they decided to open their own brewery. The partners chose the name "Concentric" (meaning "having a common center") to reflect their love for brewing good beer and having a fun place that customers will keep wanting to come back to. In April 2022, they introduced their on-site kitchen "Graze". The name refers to the menu's shareable food and fresh, local farm-to-table ingredients.I recently visited Concentric for the first time after going for a long bike ride on the nearby Air Line State Park Trail. I was greeted by co-owner Dave Peichert who was nice enough to sit down with me and tell me all about the brewery. The taproom (which features the largest circular bar in the state) always has at least 14 beers on tap as well as two guest ciders. All beer is brewed on the premises and they have a 50 bbl fermentation capability. Their outdoor beer garden (which features a fire pit) always has live music on the weekends. I ordered a sampler flight which featured "Agave Barrel-Aged Raspberry Lime Ripple" (Sour), "Awkward Family Photos" (IPA), "Triple Core" (Triple New England IPA), and 2022 "Bourbon Barrel-Aged Breakfast in the Caribbean" (Imperial Stout). The latter two were my favorites! From the food menu, I ordered the "Fig + Duck Bacon Pizza" (fig & tomato spread, feta, arugula, balsamic, mushroom, duck bacon) and the "Tomato + Pepper Pizza" (tomato & roasted pepper ragu, whipped lemon ricotta, basil). Both pies were excellent and paired well with the beers. I brought the leftovers home for my appreciative family. I had a great experience at Concentric and I look forward to returning!

I always love when I find a fun new local brewery to frequent and I was so happy to stumble upon Concentric a few months ago when I was in the area with some friends. The space itself is so cool and I love the wrap around bar as a lot of breweries don't give you the option to sit right at the bar and chat with the beer tenders. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming and they are always eager to answer our questions about the large number of beers that they offer. They always seem to have events going on as the first time we were there was a market with a bunch of local vendors and most recently we were able to enjoy some great live music as well. The beer is fantastic and I've started out with a flight both times that I've gone so I could try as many options as possible. My favorite beer so far has been the Helles Yeah which is a delicious and easy drinking lager. I also love the Portland Pilsner which is also light and refreshing.

Beer was good food horrible. Make sure you eat before going. Had crab fritters, barely any crab until the last one and they were cold. Fish and chips 2 were cooked 3rd one unedible it was raw. Ketchup for fries were watered down and didn't taste right. I told the bartender the pretzel sucked it was clearly not even 1/2 eaten. Said sorry but no compensation or care. Never returning.
