Connecticut Maltose Express is NOT(?) closing. What LHB shops remain in CT?

...aaaaaand closed.
We are looking to make some fundamental changes to re-open in the near future.

Wishful thinking? I had not had a chance to get there to check them out. Frankly, it's too far for me to even call them my local homebrew store.

We knew it was coming, but still sucks. I learned a lot just chatting with those guys. Closest to me now is up in Mass and that’s strictly a pre order and pickup shop, no browsing and ending up with stuff I really didn’t need.

I think Zok's is still open, but it's a haul to Willamantic. Plus, I've never been there, so no clue what they have or don't have.

I miss Maltose...

I know this is an older form, but for what it is worth, Brew and Wine will be coming back as Homebrew Connection with Thad as the owner/operator. Exact location of the shop is still TBD, but it may be a part of Phantom Brewing, if not, it will operate somewhere in the Haddam area. Right now, you can order ingredients on his website https://homebrewconnection.com/

Pretty sure you can set up local pick up as well. Just contact Thad through the website or follow/connect on FB.
