Being only a partial resident of Connecticut, I do not keep apprised of the craft beer scene quite as closely as I do in my home state of Massachusetts. Discussing beer (which I often do) at a baseball game (where I often go for fun) last year, someone mentioned Armada. I had never heard of it. They promised that this was top-shelf stuff. Seeking the need to try, the next day I ventured out to seek the liquid gold. Like Ponce de Leon seeking the Fountain of Youth, I set out to find Armada. I was able to procure two six-packs: Mermaid Cove and Savage Queen. I also read about their facility, a gypsy brewing operation buried in a neighborhood off Route 95 in East Haven called The Beeracks.
