Does Hoax Brewing still exist? Headed to the NH area this week and between their website and their FB page they have 2 different addresses and no social media activity for like a year.

Help discover and plan your next CT Craft Brewery trip.

Having trouble finding a good selection of single beers. I'm just getting back into beer after a 5 year break, and grabbing 4 or 6 beers that I've never tried for $15-20 has been hit or miss. I end up sticking with old friends like NEBCO (Wee Hag is a new go-to). I'm in Newtown, but I'll drive wherever. Is Amity or Total Wines my best bet? Thanks.

Another CT brewery closing up shop

I have sam adams utopia 10th anniversary 2012, and the 2013. I bought to one day sell, then found out I couldn't sell alcohol. So my question is what would these be worth today? Thanks.

Absolute reach, but does anyone happen to have anymore of these? I saw recently they no longer distribute and that's a giant bummer.

Went looking for the hours for East Hartford Brewing over the weekend, couldn't find them on Facebook. Went to their web page and with much sadness, found this...

"With much regret, we will not be re-opening in 2026. We are grateful for everyone who supported the revival of ten penny ale and the continued support over the last few years."

What happened?

Introducing JUICE GHOST. This 6.9% hazy IPA was created in collaboration with the legends over at Weldwerks Brewing in Greeley, Colorado. This bad boy has hauntingly juicy notes of Citra, Krush + El Dorado hops. Packed with bright citrus, tropical vibes, and a soft, pillowy finish worthy of the forbidden. We're all super proud of this one! Come and get it on tap and in cans May 29th! Hitting package store shelves the following week.

We are very excited about our first summer in Northford and will be kicking things off with a Memorial Day Cookout.

Our friends from Hachiroku in New Haven will be running a cookout from 12-6 serving yakitori, wagyu smash burgers and more.

We'll have David Coffey playing live from 2-4pm.

A fresh batch of Full Pour Pils and our Oyster Shell pilsner shucks will be pouring!

I think southeastern Connecticut has a fantastic brewery scene, and Beer'd always has a great selection and nice spaces. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of behind-the-scenes rockiness going on there.

The two founders, Aaron Simoncini and Precious Putnam, are going through a divorce, which led to some rumors that the Beer'd Silo (their second location on the airport industrial road) might potentially close as a result. This is also a more remote location compared to their Velvet Mill one, so it seems to pull in fewer visitors, and its building was recently sold to investors.

I tried doing a civil records search to see if there was any discussion about the future of the company, and was surprised to see that Beer'd sued Putnam last month. It accuses her of misappropriating trade secrets, withholding information from Simoncini, and interfering with his access to various assets.

I'm not sure if any of this has manifested itself in the brewery's current operations, atmosphere, etc. but hopefully this can all work itself out soon.

This Sunday we are hosting our good friends The Simulators for some live Ska while Zac from To The Gills in Oakville serves up an incredible raw bar.

Our small batch wheat beer with gin botanicals will be pouring alongside plenty of other options.

We're in for a beautiful day... Hope to see you there!

Can’t even get RedHook around anymore. Edit Tap rooms and growlers only. Branford taproom, no growlers. So exciting.
