About Dead Language Beer Project

Dead Language Beer Project is a small, family owned brewery and taproom on Park Street in Hartford. Its website says the goal is to craft exceptional lagers, weissbiers and bold American IPAs. The site also lists a 2024 VinePair Magazine item on the best new breweries in the U.S.

The taproom sits on the corner of Park Street and Bartholomew Avenue in the Parkville neighborhood. The website calls it a gathering place for that neighborhood. Kids are welcome, and there are games they may enjoy.

The draft list leans toward European styles. It has included a Czech pilsner, a Bavarian weissbier, a German Kolsch and a Japanese rice lager. You can also take 4-pack cans home from the taproom.

Not everyone wants beer. The taproom also serves hard cider, cocktails, Connecticut-made wine, non-alcoholic beer and soda. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Hartford on this site.
