BLOOMFIELD SCOOP: Waypoint Spirits closes Bloomfield taproom, distribution to expand

A local taproom has closed as the business shifts its focus to distribution.

Waypoint Spirits has closed its taproom located at 410 Woodland Street in Bloomfield. The taproom’s last day of business was August 12th.

Fear not, you will still be able to find your favorite spirits. The taproom closure represents a shift in focus to distribution, allowing them to expand their reach to more restaurants and liquors stores through the state and beyond.

The announcement reads: “After 5 years of pouring cocktails and having fun at the taproom, we've made the decision to close taproom operations as of August 12th, a shift that lets us put our full focus behind growing Waypoint's distribution across Connecticut and beyond. Our spirits will keep flowing: we're doubling down on getting Waypoint into more restaurants and liquor stores, both in-state and out-of-state. If you want to keep supporting us, do us a favor and ask for Waypoint Spirits products at your local establishments - that's the best way to help us keep growing! Thank you to every customer who walked through our doors, and a huge thank you to our taproom manager Chris for everything he's poured into this place.”
