The maritime museum here offers tours of a myriad of ships with ranging countries of origin and time periods. The USS Dolphin is a nice walk through. It does not have the museum feel that a lot of ship tours have with walls of plexiglass. It feels like I'm on an actual submarine. The Russian sub is equally interesting/terrifying. Most of that has to do with the giant chunks that have rusted out of existence.

A new brewery to the area, Tox is having a strong opening. They have a variety of very interesting beers. My personal favorite was their Belladonna coconut and Chocolate stout. It has an amazingly distinct coconut flavor. The staff was super friendly, more then happy enough to give me the run down on their new burgeoning brewery. Come in soon because they are apparently selling beer faster then they are brewing.

A super awesome spot with great beer. My favorite of the bunch was "Okay, we're kinda cute" DIPA that was dangerously delicious. The staff was super friendly. I was lucky enough to be served by one of the Brewers who was willing to discuss all the details of his favorites. If you are in the area I definitely recommend stopping in for a pint.

Severing a collection of beers from over 10 breweries all located under the same roof. It was a super unique experience I was happy to find by surprise. I would recommend anyone who enjoys craft beer to prioritize a stop here on there way through Connecticut.

Good beer with friendly staff. The venue rocks the outdoor indoor feel with corn hole in the middle of the bar. A great place to stop if you are thirsty.
