Beer. And Lots Of It My extensive CT Beer Reviews! that some people seem to enjoy. I began this particular page in 2008 when there were four breweries in Connecticut (Cottrell, New England, Olde Burnside, and Hooker.) It was an easy list and I completed it in short order.

Brewery Legitimus
Too Legit Brewery Legitimus, New Hartford March 2018 My reviews of Brewery Legitimus’s beers With MC Hammer careening through my mind, it’s trying to fight for space with my waffling on “Legitimus’” vs. “Legitimus’s.” I’m opting for the latter, as Brewery Legitimus – lovely as it may be – isn’t Jesus and … [Read more...]
Black Hog Brewing Company

On the surface, BAD SONS sounds dumb. Coupled with the whole George … [Read more...]

CT Valley Brewing Company
Psalm 23:4 CT Valley Brewing, South Windsor October 2017 CTMQ's Reviews of CTVB’s Beers Of our small state’s 50+ operational breweries, I think it’s fair to say that CT Valley is one of the most polarizing. My approach to the brewery (and to this page), is to approach them as an entirely new and independent … [Read more...]
