Dead Language is a small brewery and taproom in Hartford, CT. Our goal is to craft exceptional lagers, weissbiers and bold American IPAs and serve as a gathering place for the vibrant Parkville neighborhood. Traditional beer and the culture behind it is not a dying language in Hartford. We love bier-flavored beer.
