I love beer but my heart doctor has told me to limit it to one. So I am a Guinness fan and Dos Equis XX (dark). And these are the beers I have to stay away from. So when I go into any bar I ask for a local ale. Leaving it up to the bar tender has worked thus far. I've had a loot of different beers, not that I remember their names. But just good beer with body and actual taste.

I hadn't seen this thread yet. I enjoy a tasty beverage. A gtg at a brewery would be fun.

I think my favorite CT beer was one I had a while back at stubborn beauty brewery in Middletown. Can't recall the name though. I tend to enjoy seasonal beers.

There's a brewery that's been recently approved going into downtown Niantic, have to keep an eye on that when it's farther along!
