Stony Creek Brewery

September 23, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

From Heron Out... Stony Creek Brewery, Branford October 2015 & August 2022 Stony Creek has existed in some form for a full decade as I write this in 2022. And it has had a rather interesting and at times, stony path on their way to what they are today - a pretty darn successful taproom and brand. Some of the heat … [Read more...]

Stony Creek Museum

October 18, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Let's Rock and Roll Branford (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 My gosh this is a cute-looking little museum in the cute little Stony Creek section of Branford. What is this, a former church or something? Even the rainy day didn't dampen our spirits as we visited the Stony Creek Museum. A museum that … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Branford

July 12, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Branford I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Branford Land Trust Trails

July 9, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Branford's Town & Land Trust Trails Oh man. There are only a few towns that leave me no choice but to combine different entities' trailed properties into one list. As you've guessed by now, Branford is one. And while this gives my list-OCD fits, this is a very good thing. Very good in that it's nice to see … [Read more...]

DuVig Beer Brewing Company (Closed)

June 16, 2014 by Steve 5 Comments

"I’m Down, Du Vig?” The DuVig Beer Brewing Company, Branford DuVig closed in February 2023 and unfortunately I never got to revisit since their very early days, chronicled here. DuVig just opened a month or so before this, my first visit. However, I see no reason why that should matter to me, to them, or to … [Read more...]

Thimble Island Brewery & Brewpub

March 14, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Thimble Island Brewing Company, now Brewpub, Branford Thimble Island has grown quite a bit since my initial visit in early 2013. They've changed locations and expanded to become a vastly larger brewery. Which... is what a lot of successful businesses do. And so, as is becoming custom here on CTMQ, I'll keep the … [Read more...]
