THIMBLE ISLAND BREWING COMPANY

HISTORY

Established in 2010, Thimble Island Brewing Company was founded by Justin Gargano and Mike Fawcett; two friends and home brewers who shared a desire to make great beer for their local community.

The brewery is located in Branford CT.  It is named after the largest group of islands in Connecticut, the Thimble Islands, located off the coast of Branford.  Tour boat captains have claimed that there are “three hundred and sixty five of them-one for every day of the year.” The first settlers bought land from the area’s Native peoples and established Branford, where Lobstermen and commercial fishermen found a profitable harvest in their waters. Today, there are several different ferry and tour boats that leave the town dock to take you from island to island, but they all tell the same stories of people and events that were told nearly 50 years ago. Wherever you have the pleasure of enjoying a Thimble beer let it transport you to a place where the sun meets the crisp sea air.
