Foolproof Brewing Bridgeport

375 Union Ave, Bridgeport, CT 06607
(203) 522-1800

Signature Beer: Ocean State Lager

Five-second Description: This place is a great reuse of an old factory.  Right outside the entrance, they have an actual Bansky spraypainting that was moved for Harlem.  That alon is woth the visit.  It is also a great space with games, couches and a restored Ferrari.  Apparently the owner owns a car restoration business as well.   the beer is OK, but nothing to write home about.  The restaurant is very quick and very good.

Why you should go:  To see the Bansky wall and to check out the Ferarri.

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.

Brewport

225 South Frontage Road Bridgeport CT 06604
(203) 612-4438

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.
