Prior to establishing Caius Farm Brewery, Mr. Mergy gained valuable industry experience in California before returning to Connecticut in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. His vision for Caius Farm Brewery was shaped by a desire to connect with the land; he selected a historic farm site that had been unused for over two decades, transforming it into a destination that honors both agricultural heritage and modern brewing innovation.
