    New England Brewing does some great stuff. Imperial Stout Trooper and Ghandi Bot Imperial IPA are truly fantastic beers.

    I’m currently working with most of the active breweries and brewpubs within Connecticut to form the CT Beer Trail online community. Our site will have a more formal launch next month, but you can check out the site now for a peek at what we have in store for the local craft beer fans. Thank you for your support of Connecticut beer!
