About Hops on the Hill Farm Brewery
Hops on the Hill Farm Brewery is a family-run farm brewery on Dug Rd in South Glastonbury. It opened in 2019 in an old tobacco barn that has stood on the property since 1950. The family has grown Broadleaf Tobacco here for over 70 years.
This is still a working farm. Hops, Broadleaf Tobacco and sunflowers all grow on the property. Owners Al and Nancy Gondek are hands-on, with Nancy running operations and Al keeping up the farm.
All the beers are brewed in-house. The taps run from crisp lagers and ales to bold IPAs, with sours, fruit beers and a rotating seasonal beer in the mix. Joey Lushing has been head brewer since 2021.
You can drink in the rustic taproom or outside, and take home growlers or cans. A food truck is on site during open hours. Events through the year include live music, trivia nights, vendor festivals and cruise nights.
