Broken Symmetry Gastro Brewery

5 Depot Place, Bethel, Connecticut 06801
(203) 826-9907

Signature Beer: Departure IPA Series

Five second Description:  Looks like a brewery space, but serves food as well.  Great beer and Mexican style food makes this a great stop.  More of a brewery than a restaurant.  It is right on the railroad tracks, but unfortunately they could not take advantage of using that for any view of the tracks.

Why you should go: Great beer and descent food that can be ordered at the counter.

Five second Description:  Great owner that will be there to talk about any of his experiences and his wife served brownies.  Possibly the two nicest owners I have ever met.  They have there flagship beers that tey have been brewing for years, but also several others that push the boundries across 10 taps.  Could also be the cleanest brew room I have ever seen.

Why you should go: There is something for everyone there in their beer.  A crowd pleasing space.
