CT Hops for Hope Spotlight 6 Allagash Brewing Company, Portland, ME When Organizing CT Hops for Hope, we are continually humbled at the response we get from breweries. This is something I could write about for days. It's amazing, really. Our list of breweries is, I think, as good as it gets in Connecticut. While we … [Read more...]

Vernon Center Middle School Trail
Redundant Redundancy Vernon Center Middle School Trail, Vernon ~0.75 miles, May 2017 This seems like a rather odd place for me to finish up everything there is to do in Vernon (as far as this site is concerned, but... it was here, high atop the hill behind Vernon Center Middle School where the boys and I gazed … [Read more...]
Eckers Pond
What the Eckers? Northern CT Land Trust: Eckers Pond, Vernon May 2017 Do not read this page as a standalone page. Hiking the Northern Connecticut Land Trust’s Eckers Pond Trail without hiking the town of Vernon’s Center Middle School Trail is almost literally impossible. And if not impossible, it would … [Read more...]
Arts Center East
This Place is ACEs Vernon (Google Maps location) May 2017 CT museum visit #349. What a joy it is to visit a little art gallery/museum with a just-turned-six-year-old who is totally into it. I could write 4,000 words on Calvin’s burgeoning art career, and perhaps I will on other pages more relevant to that … [Read more...]
CT H4H: Armada Brewing
CT Hops for Hope Spotlight 4 Armada Brewing, East Haven As of today, there are 50 commercial breweries in Connecticut.

For many CT Hops for Hope … [Read more...]
Southern Star Covered Bridge
The Star of Suffield Southern Star Covered Bridge, Suffield May 2017 Every now and then I write a throwaway post on CTMQ. This is one such post. There is nothing to visit here. You really aren’t supposed to drive through this bridge (I didn’t), and really, who cares? It’s just an ornamental 42-foot long … [Read more...]

CT H4H: Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.
CT Hops for Hope Spotlight 2 Fat Orange Cat Brew Co, East Hampton An amazing thing is happening in unlikely place. In the woods on a residential street in a sparsely populated town at a residence, tiny batches of highly sought-after IPAs (and other styles) are being brewed and sold. It is rustic, homey, funky, … [Read more...]
Wickham Park
Chairman of the Bored Wickham Park, Manchester May 2017 I've no idea when you're reading this... or if you're even reading it. But if you're not, why am I talking about you? You're a bum who probably likes Chicago deep dish pizza and wears Crocs. Jerk. For the rest of you erudite and astute members of society, … [Read more...]
CT H4H: Back East Brewing
CT Hops for Hope Spotlight 1 Back East Brewing, Bloomfield What better way to start this series of short posts on CT Hops for Hope breweries, sponsors, and vendors than with the brewery that just had three of their beers place in DRAFT Magazine’s blindly tasted, expertly paneled “Top 50 IPAs in America.” Back East … [Read more...]
