Aspetuck Brew Lab is my 2nd fave brewery in CT. In the Black Rock section of Bridgeport. Their Turbidity Lucidity IPA is solidly entrenched in my Top 5 CT IPAs.

There was a lot of talk on a FaceBook group I'm a part of for CT beer (can't remember actual name). Supposedly the brewery was in financial trouble before this and the virus shutdown was a an easy scapegoat to blame this on. There was even talk on how one of the higher ups had lashed out on social media when something related to finances was brought up before the shut down. Many brewery owners are in this group.

If a brewery doesn't already have sort of back up to at least make it a little longer than a couple of weeks in, it points to more problems than closing a tap room. Many breweries are surviving on can/growler sales for now. In a month or two, I'd me more apt to say that COVID closed them. Unfortunately, I don't think many breweries will make it considering the market was already getting so saturated.
 
As far as HH goes, I heard they made a decision to concentrate on non-IPA beer. Maybe that was a mistake.

IPA, and around here, New England Style IPA drives the bus. If that’s not what you are making you’re not going to be as successful as you could as a small, on premise brewery. Make other stuff sure, but make IPAs.
 
If anyone is near Tribus in Fairfield I really like what they are doing. Help keep them open.

They're in Milford, but I agree with the rest of your post. The brewery is a cool place and they make terrific beer.

Yes, I think all small brewers need a solid NEIPA. Look what it did for Hooker. Increase Profits Astronomically.
 
CT beer fans,

Heading to Lisbon (near Norwich) from Brooklyn to bunker down with the rents.

3. Tilted Barn (Rhode Island, I know)

I like / willing to try just about everything. Any recs are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Fat orange Cat is nearby in East Hampton and for my money makes some of the best beer in the state.

No, but I did a curbside pick-up order from them recently and tried for their "SHOP Pale Ale". Clean, citrusy with some vegetal notes too. I quite liked it and recommend picking up a six-pack from their curbside pickup.

To add to your list, in no particular order, some of my favorite CT spots are Counterweight, Alvarium, New Park, Fat Orange Cat, NEBCO, Relic, OEC and Tribus! Cheers!
 
Making some good progress here - picked up a sixer from NEBCO - very tasty sea hag IPA. Fox Farm for a nice assorted mix. Beerd for a solid Wit which was super refreshing. Fat Orange Cat is up next.

Sea Hag is more or less my go-to IPA as far as readily available ones with a reasonable ABV. Just got Corporation T Shirt from Fat Orange Cat yesterday. That’ll be the first beer I’ve had from them. I also picked up some Alvarium Phresh, which is one of my favorites new IPAs of the last few months.

Sea Hag...I tried this a few years ago...did not like. Is it still the same, or have they changed it up some?

I'm not a Sea Hag fan myself. But my local packy was selling Coriolis this week. I liked when I had it a few years ago but that was on tap. I didn't know it was being canned.

I like this list. I've only tried 3, 4 and 6 and think they're great. Bodes well for 1, 2 and 5.
 
No lie, my brother just called from a car line at Back East. He said they are selling Double Scoop and did I want some. Never heard of it, but it has to be a double version of Ice Cream Man. I'm all in.

Just got some Coriolis at the package store yesterday as well. I’ve gotten cans of it straight from NEBCo, but I’ve rarely seen it in stores.

I don’t think it’s changed. I know Sea Hag, and some other NEBCo offerings, are a bit polarizing for some. Some of my friends love it, but some don’t care for it at all.

I like Yup/Nope quite a bit. I'm a fan of that place for gatherings, or to just hang out with friends. The beer and pizza are solid, and sometimes they'll have good acoustic entertainment. Is there any particular beer from them you're a fan of?
