The Hartford Steam Company supplies economical steam-heating and chilled water for cooling to many buildings in Hartford through a district heating and cooling system. Hartford Steam has engineered a way to run steam pipes into our brewery cafe. Enabling us to power our 23-barrel brewery with “city steam.” You can see the steam firsthand when we blow our antique steam-whistles. And ask our brew master about the technology, he will tell you brewing with steam is a dream come true.

When steam was introduced to the brewing process in the mid-1800s, it was the epitome of modernization. No more stoking fires or shoveling coal to keep the kettles boiling. All a brew master had to do was turn a few valves and the vapor started rolling. Better yet, steam provided a faster, more consistent flow of heat and, in turn, a better brew of beer.

Best of all, whether you’re drinking Porter, Pilsner or City Steam Ale, you know you’re getting the best brew in the state, at City Steam.

Cheers!
