Thimble Island Brewing Company, one of Connecticut's most well-known breweries, will be closing its doors later this month. After initially opening in 2012, the Branford brewery will shut down May 24th. For a booming industry in the last decade, I want to know if such a beloved place doing local brewing right closing the doors for good is a sign of the time or a shift in the industry interest? We asked Scott Dolch, President and CEO of the Connecticut Restaurant Association.
