Mystic River Chocolate Cafe Brewery
Mystic Mystery Mystic River Chocolate Cafe Brewery, Groton August 2024 If you were to ask anyone how many breweries there are in Groton in 2024, I don't think anyone would say five.

NITRO Cream ‘n Crumbz
C.R.E.A.M. 'n Just Crumbz Leftover NITRO Cream ‘n Crumbz, Middletown July 2024 Straight up: This place is comically expensive.

Kelly’s Cone Connection
Kan I? I Think I Kan. Nah, I Kan't... Kelly's Cone Connection, Hamden June 2024 ... Write about this place without delving into the past.

Arguably the most important one of all. And my wife, who is … [Read more...]
Dead Language Beer Project
Magna Cervisia Dead Language Beer Project, Hartford May 2024 Yo. Get yourself to Hartford. Parkville, specifically. Don't be scared. And don't act like you don't know that there are plenty of suburbanites who are scared. I read their ignorant comments all the time on various outlets. There are good reasons … [Read more...]
