Dudleytown Brewery – Spooktacular
A picky eater with lots of allergies and her husband visit Dudleytown Brewery

In the Woods
October not only heralds in the autumn season, but also invites us to enjoy all things scary and spooky. I don’t mind the spooky, but can do without the scary. In Connecticut, there is a place that is off limits. No trespassing signs and blocked roads forbid passing into the Dark Entry Forest and the abandoned settlement of Dudley. A variety of tragedies including death by lightning, paranoia, and suicide have made this area a boon for those seeking a thrill. However, despite the unbreakable silence of Dudley, you will be swiftly arrested if you enter this Village of the Damned.
Out of the Woods
Despite knowing that Dudley is a significantly scary spot, someone decided to open a brewery as an homage to the lore. Dudleytown opened its doors in 2023 serving craft beers and other libations before adding food to its menu a couple years later. On the warm October day that Dan and I visited, we weren’t really there for the large, dimly-lit brewery with painted murals of monsters covering the walls. We were there to support my friend, Stephanie Stephan, and her newly published book, The Stirring Season, during the Spooktacular Book Fair on the patio. The Stirring Season is a collection of weird and whimsical fairy-tale-like stories that leave you hungry for more. I had the fortunate pleasure of beta reading this cleverly crafted collection and can guarantee it will provide something sweet for the whole family tree. After visiting with Stephanie and wishing her high sales for the day, I suggested we make a day of it and enjoy a Burger Adventure as well.
