Luppoleto Picco

Come visit the ORIGINAL Luppoleto location. Our cozy Windsor Locks taproom features 11 house brewed beers plus a wide range of Connecticut-made beverages to slake your thirst. Part European bierhall, part cozy living room; our long communal tables evoke a Bavarian vibe while our plethora of plants, rugs and couches provide a softer place to lounge if that’s more your mood. From Spring to Early Autumn, enjoy a beer “al fresco” on the patio just outside the taproom (weather permitting).

Hours & Directions

Here are the regular hours for the Windsor Locks Taproom:

Dexter Plaza
20 Main Street
Windsor Locks, CT 06096

Our original taproom is located in North Central Connecticut, about 10 miles form the Massachusetts border. Getting there is easy, we’re just off I-91 across the river from East Windsor. In June 2026, we expanded to East Granby!

Can I take the Train?

Not yet. We’re very close to the train station as the conductors horn reminds us every 45 minutes or so. For now, they rumble slowly by the newly re-located station and stop about a mile away. The new station is less than half a mile away, but not open just yet.

Beer for Here

We offer 2 sizes: Pint and Half-Pint. Our glassware is sized to accommodate a two-finger high foam head atop your beer and still include MORE than a pint / half-pint of beer.

Samples: Yes! Flights: No. Our beertenders are here to help you find a beverage you love. Try samples, for free, and give us feedback so we can guide you towards the best beverage for you.

To enhance your beer drinking pleasure we have a number of fun beer service toys!

• Lukr Side-pull Faucet for uniquely creamy texture
• Angram English Hand Pump for Cask / Pub Style Ales (the original Nitro)
• Nitro Faucet for mimicking the hand pump but in a way we can serve it for more than 1 day

Beer To Go

We can our beers in small batches every week so they are as fresh as possible. Here’s what’s currently available in 16oz cans.

Or you can fill 750ml Growlers of almost anything on tap!

Non-Beer Beverages

Alongside our house brewed beer we offer a selection of Connecticut-Made beverages.

• Cider from New England Cider
• Wine from Jonathan Edwards, Lost Acres & Kirby Mill Winery
• Cocktails from Drink Mechanics
• Sodas from Hosmer Mountain Soda
• NA Beer from Athletic Brewing

PLUS: A rotation of house-made batch cocktails every day!

For details, see the full list of Beer Alternatives.

Food

We host a steady rotation of food trucks to complement our neighboring restaurants: Moon Star and Pizza Time. We also regularly stock locally made chips & pretzels from Drunk Alpaca.

Or you can always bring your own food.

The Vibes

There are plenty of sports bars. There’s nothing wrong with sports bars, but we decided to experiment with a contrasting experience; ideally one that facilitates more conversation and camaraderie.

This is also the reason behind the communal seating. Most of the breweries we visited in Germany had this arrangement and we had some great random encounters with strangers! Sharing a slice of table or bench might not seem like much but, if you’re open to it, you may make similarly serendipitious connections!

Pet Policy

Unfortunately, per our local health board, pets are not permitted in the taproom :-(

When the Patio is open, well-behaved, leashed pets are permitted.

The Patio

Enjoy beer “al fresco” in our smaller but closer, faster and glass-ier patio! That’s right, as an added perk, we’ll serve in glasses rather than plastic! During Regular Taproom hours, we’ll usually have outdoor seating available in the area directly in front of the brewery. Refills are just a few steps away!
