Ericit Brewing Company
Take the L Ericit Brewing Company, Manchester December 2019 In late 2025, this is a very different place as far as the beer is concerned: For one, I'm sure it's much better and there are now 25 in-house beers vs. 16 non-Ericit beers! Good for them. Ericit now has operations in Danbury and Fairfield as well, but … [Read more...]

Mory’s
A Rare Bit of CTMQ Mory's, New Haven October 2013 Greetings! You have found your way to another of the very few, very rare CTMQ pages where I write about something I didn't really experience.

Maple Lane/Foggy Harbor Spirits (Closed)
Currantly Closed Maple Lane Spirits, Preston This is one of those pages that I write while never being 100% convinced I'm guessing its veracity correctly. I am very certain that Maple Lane Spirits ceased operations in 2018 or 2019. I can't find any sort of announcement to that effect, and therefore I'm not … [Read more...]

Half Full Brewery (Closed)
You Can Take the Boy Out of Wall Street... Half Full Brewery, Stamford February 2020 This location - the original location - closed in October 2024 in favor of just running the larger, nicer, better located space at The Third Place. My "relationship" with Half Full is a funny one. Until I visited, it was by … [Read more...]

C2H6O Tox Brewing Company, New London February 2020 In late 2024, Tox moved into a larger space in downtown New London, so a revisit is in order.
