Waterford isn't exactly brewpub country... It is wine country though...

Here's a list of CT brewpubs

Bru Room in New Haven is very good, amazing pizza too, about 40 min. from Waterford and well worth the drive. And if you want to meet the authors of
Clonebrews and
Beer Captured check out this place
http://www.maltose.com/, where I get most of my supplies
City Steam in Hartford is also pretty good, about an hour and change from waterford.
Cottrell is the closest to waterford, about 20 minutes, I've had their beer in bottles but never from the brewery, not bad but not great either...
If you want to venture on the back roads(395N to rte 32N, about an hour) try this place
http://www.willibrew.com/ great beer, great food, beautiful architechture(it's in a turn of the century post office) and it's near Zok's
http://www.homemadebrew.net/ I haven't been to Zok's, but my friends that live in the area swear by the place...
Both HBS are closed sunday.
What brings you to Waterford?
