From Jordan Grice, CT Post:
A new brewery is slated for Bridgeport, as developers say they want to bring a watering hole to the Downtown North area.
“It’s a way of giving the community a place to hang out and also getting some outside people and outside dollars into the area,” said Richard Ruggiero, who is preparing to open Berlinetta Brewing Company with his brother Chris at 1184-1188 Main Street later this year.
The duo got the green light from Bridgeport’s Planning and Zoning Commission in June and are looking to open a 2,100-square-foot brewery as developers finish construction of the Jayson-Newfield buildings.
“It’s a wonderful building, we are so excited to be opening in that spot,” Richard Ruggiero said. “There is going to be a lot of people living there and everything else happening downtown … it’s got a lot of really positive attributes.”

Is not the local area becoming “economically-saturated” with the “breweries?” The question is if there enough of a market for this “brewery-business” or will these businesses start to cannibalizes business from each other. I guess we will find out. Economic survival of the fittest. Good luck to all.
Small cell phone mistakes. Sorry.
A great great idea. Hopefully it will also be dog friendly. Brewery are big now. They are great spots for socialiazing,but have to get those loft\ apartments to get completed. Brewport has a nice following so will the new spot. Good luck
