She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

The Nutmeg State’s craft beer industry is growing in leaps and bounds. There are so many great breweries in Connecticut worth exploring, and is there any better time to do it than summer? Sipping a cold beer in a beautiful outdoor space, enjoying live music and other festivities: it all comes together to make for such a wonderful experience. One made-in-Connecticut brewery that we think is perfect to add to your summer to-do list is Connecticut Valley Brewing Company. This beer maker is hiding right in South Windsor and it’s full of great food, wonderful events, and, of course, delicious beer.
Connecticut Valley Brewing Company was opened in 2017. This place specializes in New England Style India Pale Ale (NEIPA), a popular variety you'll find at many Connecticut breweries.
Connecticut Valley Brewing Company hosts plenty of craft fairs throughout the year, plus there are regular trivia nights and Cars and Coffee shows. Books and Brews events are catered to bibliophiles looking for a book club combined with beer. There's also plenty of cornhole and karaoke options!
Concerts are scheduled regularly, with great local bands and cover bands playing.
