TIMMMBERRRR! Charter Oak Brewing Company, Danbury May 2019 My word, where to start with Charter Oak. While they were a newer Connecticut brewery when I visited in 2019, they’ve also been around forever. Okay, 2012, but that’s nearly forever in Connecticut-breweryland. I’ve followed the company’s trajectory since … [Read more...]
Nordic Moon Meadery (Closed)
Pretty Lo Ki Nordic Moon Meadery, Ellington April 2019 What you're reading right now is a placeholder of sorts. As I write this in August 2019, Nordic Moon's tasting room is not yet open. I don't know when it will be open. It might be open when you're reading this... or maybe it never opened. If and when it does … [Read more...]
The Scandinavian Gift Shop
Scandi Candi Ain't So Dandi The Scandinavian Gift Shop, Ellington April 2019 The shop moved to a new location in East Windsor in 2020 In April 2019 I totally planned to visit this place and write a page about it. In May 2019 I totally scrapped that idea because really, it’s just a store that sells stuff and … [Read more...]
Connecticut Valley Distillery (Closed)
Smuggler's Done Connecticut Valley Distillery (Closed), Ellington Closed 2018 You have found yourself on (yet another) page on CTMQ that exists for no other reason than to satisfy my list-completion OCD.

Great River Park
Great River? Or the Greatest River? Great River Park (Riverfront Recapture), East Hartford May 2019 I never planned to walk this walk. Well, I mean I didn’t plan to walk the entirety of Great River Park the day that I did. But I’m glad I did. While Great River Park stands on its own as a fairly worthwhile … [Read more...]
Farmington Valley Arts Center
Fusing Art and History Avon (Google Maps location) May 2019 Connecticut museum visit #419. When I wrote about Avon's nearby Climax Road, it reminded me about the Farmington Valley Arts Center. I had poked my head in a few times over the years for various reasons, one being my friend Eina Rieger had an … [Read more...]
Kent’s Town Trails
Kent’s Town Trails This page is totally unfair to the lovely town of Kent. Kent has some of the best hiking in the entire state. A bunch of state parks, the Appalachian Trail, and a slew of land trusts. Just a crazy amount of outdoor adventure awaits in the New York border town. There are probably over a hundred … [Read more...]
Pond Mountain Trust Intro
Pond Mountain Trust Kent There’s a lot of crazy good going on here at Pond Mountain in Kent. It’s beautiful for one, and it has a nice network of trails that go places. In fact, you could go to Georgia via the Pond Mountain Natural Area property if you want. Or Katahdin in Maine. For yes, the Pond Mountain … [Read more...]
Franklin: Complete!
Franklin: Complete! Emely’s Pizza Restaurant Here is my list of everything I've done in Franklin! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 13th of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. Send your condolences to my wife and … [Read more...]
Agonist Gallery
The Agonist and the Ecstasy East Windsor July 10, 2019 I often struggle when it comes to these little art galleries. Struggle with whether or not they deserve a hallowed spot on the CTMQ Connecticut museums list. After all, if you make it, fame and riches will assuredly come your way. If you don’t, well, you … [Read more...]
