Brew Year’s Eve at Elicit: Your New Year’s Eve Party Across Manchester, Fairfield & Danbury

Ring in 2025 at Elicit Brewing with craft beers, live music, festive drinks, and a champagne toast—celebrate NYE across Manchester, Fairfield & Danbury!

New Year’s Eve has options. Crowded clubs. Overpriced tickets. Lines you immediately regret standing in. Or good beer, great music, familiar faces, and a place where the night can unfold naturally.

That’s exactly what Brew Year’s Eve at Elicit Brewing is all about.

Across Manchester, Fairfield, and Danbury, we’re ringing in the New Year the way we know best: craft beer flowing, music setting the tone, and a space that feels social without feeling chaotic. No dress codes. No bottle service energy. Just a room full of people ready to close out the year on a high note.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through what Brew Year’s Eve looks like at each location, what to expect throughout the night, and why Elicit is the brewery near you for a New Year’s Eve that actually feels fun.

What to Expect at Brew Year’s Eve

You will get less “formal party,” more “perfect night out.” Brew Year’s Eve is built around movement, music, and choice. You can grab a seat, wander the space, head outside, catch a song, order another round, and repeat. The night moves with you.

Here’s what’s happening across all three locations:

  • Live music and DJs keep the energy up all night
  • Craft beer and festive cocktails, including winter and holiday pours
  • Full food menus so you’re fueled from first drink to midnight
  • A midnight countdown capped with a champagne toast

No pressure to stay in one spot or rigid schedule. Just good vibes rolling straight into 2025. If you’ve been searching for breweries near me that are open now that actually feel alive on NYE, this is it.

Brew Year’s Eve, Location by Location

Every Elicit space brings its own personality, but the energy stays consistent: welcoming, social, and easy to settle into.

Manchester

Manchester brings the cozy-meets-lively vibe. With lounge seating, open space, and room to move, it’s perfect if you like bouncing between conversations and catching the music as the night builds.

What to expect:

  • Live music from 8 PM to midnight
  • Beer garden open for some winter air between rounds
  • Exclusive Brew Year’s Eve beer pours
  • Champagne toast at midnight

It’s relaxed, festive, and built for staying longer than planned.

Fairfield

Fairfield is the go-to for a smooth, social night. Whether you’re rolling in with friends or planning a low-key NYE date, the space hits that sweet spot between lively and laid-back.

The night includes:

  • DJ set from 9 PM to midnight
  • Seasonal beers and festive cocktails flowing all night
  • Easy seating and room to move
  • Champagne toast at midnight

It’s the kind of place where conversations stick, and the countdown sneaks up on you.

Danbury

Danbury is doing Brew Year’s Eve big. As our newest location, this one’s ready to make its first NYE unforgettable. Bigger energy, wide-open space, and a beer garden setup that feels like a winter hangout done right.

Here’s what’s lined up:

  • Live DJ from 8 PM to midnight
  • Exclusive Brew Year’s Eve releases
  • Champagne toast at midnight

Perfect for Groups, Dates, and Everything In Between

Not every New Year’s Eve plan looks the same, and that’s kind of the point.

Brew Year’s Eve works whether you’re:

  • Coming in with a big group
  • Meeting friends from different circles
  • Planning a casual date night
  • Flying solo and seeing where the night goes

There’s no extravagant expectation to dress up or lock into one plan. Grab a beer. Find your people. Let the night evolve. If “craft beer near me” is usually how your best nights start, this one fits right in.
