New London's First Brewery Now Open

NEW LONDON, CT - Tox Brewing Company at 635 Broad St. opened this past weekend. Started by Dayne Laskey and Mike Zaccaro, the brewery and taproom will be open noon to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

They expect to add Friday hours starting this week, according to their website.

Zaccaro and Laskey raised $29,000 from 269 supporters in a Kickstarter campaign to fund the enterprise, The New London Day reported. The beer list includes stouts, a cream ale, IPAs, a double IPA, and what they call a Connecticut Table Beer.

Zaccaro and Laskey are from New London County and have been friends since preschool.

"The idea of Tox Brewing started as a daydream between the three of us a few days before Thanksgiving in 2015," their website reads. "This endeavor came from a passion and desire to create better and more creative beer, and to continually push our own limits."
