Thimble Island Brewing Co. is a brewery established in 2009 by homebrewers Mike Fawcett and Justin Gargano in Branford, Connecticut, USA. Thimble Island's American Amber Ale is the company's flagship and best-selling craft beer.

On May 9, 2025, the company announced they would be shutting down its Branford taproom on May 24, 2025 due to industry declines and a failed strategic partnership coupled with personal health challenges dealt with by the owner. The craft brewing market has faced several headwinds due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, including rising costs and over-saturation.[1]
