Everything Thompson I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Thompson CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Thompson’s Town Trails
Thompson’s Town Trails Shhhhhhhh... be quiet. We're in Thompson. In the corner up there. The Quiet Corner. And there are things for me to do for this website, but don't tell anyone. I like to be left alone. Shhhh... Thompson has some decent trails, but most are state parks or land trust land or overseen by … [Read more...]
Cliffside Brewing (Closed)
It’s a Brewery. On a Street. Not a Cliff. Cliffside Brewing Company, Wallingford May 2018 This brewery closed in late May 2023. What you’re about to read is a sort of turning point for myself and for CTMQ. Without getting all philosophical about things, I’ve written much about Connecticut’s beer industry since … [Read more...]
Roost IPA
Church Owl Beer's Roost IPA 1 12 oz can, $1.50, Manchester Wine & Spirits January 2018 Horrifying. I'm writing this page not to bash the well-intentioned mind behind Church Owl or to argue that gluten-allergies are overstated or to kick a brewery when they're already kaput. But... this'll probably sound … [Read more...]

Roxbury’s Town Trails
Roxbury’s Town Trails When I wrote up the intro for Rocky Hill’s town trails, I said that it “sounds like a town that would provide lots of difficult hiking opportunities. Alas, Rocky Hill is neither rocky nor hilly.” But Roxbury? Roxbury is indeed rocky. And of course there are billions of “rox” that are … [Read more...]
Roxbury Land Trust Intro
Roxbury Land Trust New Milford, Roxbury, & Woodbury I am in my 12th year of writing CTMQ and am just getting around to putting a page together for the Roxbury Land Trust. Now, you may be thinking, “but Steve, my man, you’re but one person. And this is Roxbury we’re talking about. Give yourself a break.” And … [Read more...]
Roraback WMA
Roraback Girl Roraback Wildlife Management Area, Harwinton May 6, 2018 I’m going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I’m going to sort of serialize the write-ups. If for some reason you want to start at the beginning, go here, to the … [Read more...]

Sweet Cioccolata
Sweeeet, Bro Sweet Cioccolata, Wallingford May 19, 2018 I joked before that downtown Wallingford must have the most bars per capita in the state. I have no idea if that’s even close to being true, but at least one Walli-World resident noted, “Yeah, there are a lot.” So there you have it. Data Science at its … [Read more...]
