About Lasting Brass Brewing Company
Lasting Brass Brewing Company is a small batch brewery and taproom on Watertown Avenue in Oakville. It is set in the Old Pin Shop, a building erected in 1729 as a gristmill.
The mill later became the Oakville Pin Company. That business became a division of Scovill Manufacturing, a Waterbury brass company. Head brewer and owner Ed Silva is a lifelong Waterbury native who has brewed in his hometown for nearly 15 years.
The taproom pours draft beer, and the bar also serves house cocktails, wine, hard ciders, sodas, water and non-alcoholic beer. All the alcoholic drinks are made in Connecticut. Growlers of the brewery's own beer get filled, and cans and bottles are sold to take home.
Bring your own food if you like. Food trucks also stop by on event days. Dogs are welcome on the patio and grassy picnic area, and visitors under 21 are welcome with a parent or legal guardian.
