berlinetta brewing

Cool spot ...few, but solid beer offerings. They make an excellent pilsner. Clean and dry, but not without complexity. The vibe is cool, with loads of classic music memorabilia and a quirky library.

Bridgeport is a tough place, but they found a nice corner and made a pleasant home. I'll be going back and look forward to future brews.

This place is a gem in Bridgeport, They have Great beer and service. The atmosphere is really cool and the music as well. I highly recommend it.

Great beer that tastes like beer!! No gimmicky milkshake IPAs or Fruity Pebbles and marshmallow "sours". They make real beer styles and do them very well. Cool vibe and vinyl for sale!

Berlinetta is a European microbrewery in downtown Bridgeport, CT. High ceilings, understated decor and classic vinyl records makes this a comfortable place to call your local. Crisp, clean and well crafted these beers are well worth the trip if you are following the CT beer trail up I-95. Ample street parking is available but keep your eyes peeled as the brewery sign is easy to miss from the main road.

You can order tasters, flights, and full pours. At the time of our visit they had a 4 pack of 16oz cans of the Kolch available to go.

The beer:

GOLD COAST LAGER this amber lager is dry-hopped with Citra. Huge citra in the nose but not a juice bomb or bitter. This was the most popular beer at our table.

The WESTPHAL KÖLSCH-STYLE ALE features Weyermann malt and German hops with a lower abv this is a clean beer.

BERLINETTA ROSSO VIENNA-STYLE LAGER made from a combination of Vienna, Munich, and Pilsner malts with a fuller body but still ending with a nice dry finish.

GOLDEN HILL PALE dry-hopped with classic Cascade Hops

The VELVET PILSNER a Czech pale lager. The Noble hops were clear and matched with nice maltiness and dry finish.

HARD SELTZER is gluten-free and served in the manner of a Berliner Weisse in Germany where they often add raspberry flavored syrup. Today they were adding mango or passion fruit to the unflavored base seltzer. This resulted in a thicker more fruit forward seltzer compared to what you would get from the can sold by the national brands.

Fantastic vibes. Rich clearly loves what he does. Berlinetta is a perfect addition to downtown Bridgeport. Any audiophile will find a home within the four walls. The inviting listening station sets this Brewery apart from any other I have been to in Connecticut. You have to try the Kölsch! Cheers
