Armada Brewing was launched in 2017 by John Kraszewski. Fast forward to 2022, Armada Brewing found its new home in the historic Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven, CT, taking over a former Bigelow Boiler Company building (not to be confused with the tea company).

This once-industrial space was meticulously stripped down to its bare bones and beautifully restored, now featuring two inviting taprooms, cozy offices, and a small but mighty beer manufacturing plant. Every beer you enjoy on draft or take home in cans is crafted right here by our passionate team.

The vibrant murals adorning our walls, painted by Alexandra Kraszewski, bring to life modified illustrations from beer labels designed by Scott Buon. These artworks capture the essence of our Sacred Throne Helles Lager and Notorious Gypsy Fruited Sour.

Armada Brewing’s beers are not just beverages; they’re gateways to an ever-expanding fantasy world filled with unique characters, mystical locations, magical items, and more. Just like in a Role-Playing Game, you can create your own epic tales with each sip.

As a small, family-owned business, we are dedicated to brewing exceptional beer and creating memorable experiences. Relocating our production and taproom to Fair Haven was our way of contributing to the revitalization of the neighborhood and investing in its vibrant future.
