Berlinetta Brewing Company

90 Golden Hill Street, Bridgeport, CT
(203) 549-8203

Signature Beer: Berlinetta ‘Extra’  American Pale Ale

Five-second Description:  Very good crisp beer, but not a place for IPAs. This place has a tube-based sound system that plays old records from a retro setup.  They also sell a curated collection of used records that you can listen to before buying.

Why you should go:   Where else can you go to a record store that is also a brewery or vice versa.

Signature Beer: Old News Double IPA

Five second Description:  Fantastic scene that is more of a great pizza restaurant than a brewery, not sure they take their beer too seriously, no IPA on tap!  Get the pizza without cheese and you will not be disappointed, it rivals the best in New Haven.

Why you should go: Great pizza, great merchandise, but the beer leaves something to be desired.
