At Caius Farm Brewery, the unique and much anticipated range of craft beers collides with both local and global historical perspectives. Mergy reveals a tapestry of cultures through the flavors of his craft. With a master’s degree from the University of Oxford in Classical Archaeology, degrees from both the Master Brewer program at the Siebel Institute in Chicago, and the Doemens Academy in Munich, Germany, and professional brewing experience in California, Mergy combines his passions, expertise, and experiences, bringing back to his home state of Connecticut. Caius Farm Brewery is set to become part of the unique heart and soul of the Connecticut shoreline and destination for beer lovers in all of New England. While the area has so much to offer, there is nowhere else quite like it, it’s unprecedented.  According to Mergy, “I just want to share the styles and my passion for the industry with the local community and keep it as a small family-oriented brewery. And I also want to make sure there’s always a style for everybody. That way, it’s a very welcoming place.”

The new, state of the art brewhouse sits on a historic site, where the David Baldwin house and farm once laid. Paying homage to Branford’s long respected farming community, Mergy maximizes the brewery’s connectivity to the landscape through the regeneration of a small hop yard, edible landscaping, fruit trees, and as a home to beehives to create a unique honey – all which Mergy plans to use as ingredients. The brewery aims to limit waste by using sustainable practices and sourcing ingredients from local Connecticut farms and small businesses. Spent grain from the brewing process will also be provided to 3B Ranch in Northford, CT. Mergy is cultivating not just the land but a community as well.

“We can’t wait to explore the future of our beer with the local community, and we will keep to our slogan of: Body, Soul, Mind, Beer.” ©
