We just love it when we get to see residents of The Velvet Mill supporting each other’s work. As you know, @beerdbrewing opened their second location in Groton last weekend with much success! They commissioned a piece from none other than the wildly talented @alienflora to help decorate the new spot. Congratulations to everyone on all the hard work that goes into creating every project. How cool is this, Connecticut? .

The first few days after the holiday season has ended can be euphoric for some and disorienting for others. That’s why it’s so important to reconnect with your favorite brewery so that your trusted beertender can pour the right beverage to have you feeling hoppy in no time.
Let’s get our “live, laugh, love” on tomorrow at The Velvet Mill with @beerdbrewing and @woodfellaspizza 👨🏼‍🌾🤣❤️ Follow Beer’d Brewing Co.
