The Olde Burnside Brewing Co.is a spinoff of our family-owned ice manufacturing business, The Burnside Ice Co., which was founded in 1911 (more history). While our brews may enjoy universal appeal, our marketing theme is clearly Scottish in flavor. In keeping with our roots, we add a bit of Celtic color in all we do, including our sponsorship of a local bagpipe band, Manchester Regional Police & Fire Pipe Band, as well as our local rugby team, The Hartford Wanderers. Come fall, join us at “Pipes in the Valley,” Connecticut’s premier Celtic music festival, showcasing the finest local and world renowned Celtic talents.
