Description

The history of the frothy beverage in Connecticut dates back to early colonists, who used it to quench their thirst within the absence of clean drinking water. So integral used to be beer to day by day life within the colony that government officials and militiamen congregated in taverns like the General Wolfe to talk laws and business over pints of ale. Over the following two centuries, the choice of breweries rose after which declined, especially after Prohibition. It used to be not until the 1980s that homebrewers brought this important Nutmeg State tradition back to life, hatching the likes of New England and Cottrell Brewing Companies, in addition to brewpubs including City Steam and Southport Brewing. More recently, small operations with one or two people, such as Relic and Beer’d, are changing the landscape again. Connecticut beer creator Will Siss introduces readers to the hardworking individuals who keep the breweries and beer bars inviting and the hoppy history alive.
