Popular Connecticut Craft Brewery Is Closing At the End of May

Thimble Island Brewing Company, one of Connecticut's most well-known breweries, will be closing its doors later this month.

Justin Gargano, Thimble Island's president and CEO, shared the news in a Facebook post on Friday. Gargano had opened the company's original Branford, Conn. location in 2012.

"This is one of the harder messages I’ve ever had to write," Gargano said. "After a lot of thought (and a lot of emotion), I’ve decided to close Thimble Island Brewing Company. Our last day of service will be Saturday, May 24.
