What’s the Lesser Half Like? Better Half Brewing, Bristol November 2019 This brewery ceased operations on 12/31/21 after listing their equipment on the sites that sell such things for a year or so. There is a very good brewery in Bristol that brews very good beer, spanning a wide array of styles. I very much … [Read more...]
Milford Point Brewing (Closed)
What’s the Point? Milford Point Brewing, Milford June 2019 The brewery closed at some point in the summer or fall of 2025. The shoreline town of Milford will have three breweries in 2020. While this isn’t a unique situation anymore in Connecticut, it does allow us to take a look at the brewery market and … [Read more...]
Chateau Le’ Gari’ (Closed)
Laissez Le Mauvais Temps Rouler Chateau Le' Gari', Marlborough July, 2019 Closed in July 2025. Let’s start with the name of this winery and event space in Marlborough. “Chateau Le’ Gari’.” I’m missing something. Chateau implies a bit of a more stately structure than what I found in Marlborough, and Le’ doesn’t … [Read more...]
Chaplin Museum (Closed)
Sorry Ol’ Chap Chaplin Museum, Chaplin The Chaplin Museum closed around 2012 or so. This is still somehow my Connecticut museum #456. This is a really, really dumb page. It needn’t exist. But here we are. When I put together the CTMQ Town Guides for small, low-population towns like Chaplin I really want … [Read more...]
Redding Beer Company (Closed)
RedDing-Ding-Ding! Redding Beer Company, Redding June 2019 The brewery closed quietly in early 2024. I am often challenged to write interesting and unique takes on the hundreds of museums in Connecticut that aren’t that discernible from a hundred similar museums. I take pride in being able to do so; sometimes … [Read more...]
Sunrise Drive Preserve & Ten Mile River Access
Nah, Man, Nah Sunrise Drive Preserve & Ten Mile River Access, Columbia September 2019 Hello. Thanks for clicking the link to this page. I’ve got good and bad news. The good news is you are an awesome person for reading, apparently, whatever the heck I write about. Thanks for being cool. The bad news … [Read more...]
Barley Head Brewery (Closed)
It Takes a Mystic Barley Head Brewery, Groton June 2019 The brewery closed in July 2024. Here we are, together again. About to discuss yet another tiny Connecticut brewery no one ever talks about or seeks out. Owned and operated by a (surely) well-meaning guy whose friends all told him that his free garage … [Read more...]
Skygazer Brewing (Closed)
Beer From Uranus Skygazer Brewing Company, Southington June 2019 I'm not sure how to handle this page for historical purposes here on CTMQ. The brewery began as Skygazer Brewing in the little warehouse space in Southington. The owners/brewer parted ways in June 2020; Skygazer went to contract at Twelve Percent … [Read more...]
The Beeracks (Closed)
Beer: Rack ‘Em Up! The Beeracks, East Haven Multiple visits Armada Brewing opened up a nearby second location on River Street in New Haven in 2022 and left The Beeracks shortly thereafter. In late 2024, The Beeracks closed. You’re just going to have to go with me here. The path from the original Overshores … [Read more...]
Triple-A Diner (Closed)
Where’s the Fonz? (AAAAaaaaaaa) AAA Diner, East Hartford May 2019 The diner closed in 2024 or so. Which is a shame, as one of the few remaining 24-hour joints in the state. Yeah, I know. This diner sort of stretches the definition of “Classic Diner.” Except that there really is no definition of what makes a … [Read more...]
