New England Brewing Co. Expands by Acquiring Branford Facility for $6.1 Million
18 August 2025
Woodbridge-based New England Brewing Co. (NEBCO), one of Connecticut’s largest craft brewers—producing approximately
21,000 barrels in 2023—is expanding its operations through a significant acquisition. The company has purchased the former
Stony Creek Brewery facility in Branford for
$6.1 million, redirecting its long-planned expansion into West Haven after encountering legal and logistical setbacks.
Key Highlights:
- New Branford Headquarters: The acquired Branford facility will serve as NEBCO’s new headquarters. This includes ample space for a taproom, event areas, a kitchen trailer, and more—ideal for hosting gatherings and enhancing customer experiences.
- Maintaining Woodbridge Operations: NEBCO’s original site in Woodbridge remains active, ensuring continued production while expansion takes place.
- Strategic Shift from West Haven Plan: The two-year attempt to expand in West Haven proved too complex and costly. The Branford acquisition provides a turnkey alternative that supports quicker growth.
