We’ve Kicked Off #ProStartWeek at Willie Brew 🍺

/in , , /by

We’re proud to be participating in #ProStartWeek here at Willimantic Brewing Company — and we’re inviting our community to be part of it.

ProStart, through the Connecticut Restaurant Association, helps high school students explore careers in culinary arts and restaurant management. It’s a hands-on program that builds real-world skills, mentorship connections, and pathways into Connecticut’s hospitality industry. As a long-standing brewpub rooted in this community, supporting the next generation of chefs, managers, and hospitality professionals is something we deeply believe in.

How You Can Help

It’s simple:

  • Stop in for a bite and a brew (view menu)

  • Make a donation to the Connecticut Restaurant Association ProStart fundraiser

  • Receive a $10 bounce-back certificate as our thank-you

You’ll enjoy great foodOur Menu and fresh beer crafted onsite — and you’ll also be investing in students who may one day be leading kitchens, managing dining rooms, or even opening their own restaurants right here in Connecticut.

Hospitality is about more than what’s on the plate or in the glass. It’s about mentorship, opportunity, and building a strong future for our industry.

Join us this week, support #ProStartWeek, and help us raise a glass to the next generation of hospitality leaders.

Sweet Endings at Willie Brew

/in , , /by

Deliciousness comes in many forms at Willie Brew — and sometimes, it’s layered in chocolate.

If you’ve never finished your meal with our Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake, consider this your sign. Rich, velvety, and unapologetically indulgent, it’s the kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-conversation just to savor the bite. Layers of deep chocolate cake and silky mousse come together in a way that’s decadent without being overwhelming — the perfect finale to a great meal.

But the sweetness doesn’t stop there.

Our house-made desserts are crafted right here, just like the beer brewed in the tanks behind the bar. From classic comfort favorites to rotating seasonal creations, each dessert is made with the same care and creativity that define everything we do — whether it’s a small-batch IPA or a chef-driven special.

Because here, it’s not just about grabbing dinner — it’s about the full experience. A bite. A brew. And something sweet to finish.

So next time you stop into our historic old post office brewery, save room. Trust us.

Come for the fresh beer brewed onsite.
Stay for the dessert.

Join us for a locally inspired evening.

We’ll be tapping WBC’s LTB which benefits The Local Table Project. Enjoy locally sourced ingredients in our specials, local cheeses and  local art in our Post Master’s Office, too.

First, we’ll be tapping our Local Table Ale. A portion of the proceeds from this beer will be donated to The Local Table Project, a farm-to-table dinner aimed at raising funds for the Covenant Soup Kitchen and WAIM‘s Community Garden.

 

Then, there’s the cheese! Perfect to enjoy with our beers, we’ll feature a variety of fine, local cheeses on our specials that evening.

This evening is made possible through a collaboration between the Willimantic Brewing Co., the Willimantic Food Co-op,  Kerri Art Studio and Gallery, Mystic Cheese Company and Cato Corner Farm.
