Belt’s Beer Garden: Brown and Out

This week I take a departure from the normal hoppy brews that I usually feature to showcase a few brown ales...one of the best brews for this fall weather we’re starting to get up here.

First up, a New England brewery that combines granola and beer.

Black Hog is one of Connecticut’s newest breweries, opening back in 2014 in Oxford - a small town of about 13,000 people located 15 miles northwest of New Haven. The owners come from families where food and drinks are the main focus and their favorite way to celebrate special occasions was a pig roast…a black, Berkshire hog being the breed of choice.
