The editorial take
Four drafts carry the beer list at The Trinity Bar & Restaurant: Modelo Especial, Headway, Ghost IPA, and Benji, all 16 ounces, with three poured from Connecticut breweries. Headway, Ghost IPA, and Benji are IPAs from Counter Weight, Dudley Town, and Tribus respectively, priced at $7 except Ghost IPA at $8. Customers mention a correctly poured Guinness as well. The range is narrow but the details are specific and the pricing is consistent.
- What should I order?
- Start with Headway from Counter Weight Brewing Company, a 6.5% ABV IPA, or Benji from Tribus Beer Co., also 6.5% ABV. Ghost IPA from Dudley Town Brewing Co. Is the strongest at 6.8% ABV and $8. Modelo Especial is the lighter 4.5% ABV option at $7.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a short, well-defined draft list with local Connecticut IPAs and a straightforward lager. The four-beer selection suits drinkers who prefer a focused choice over a long tap wall. Customers who value a properly poured Guinness have noted it here.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draft beers are $7 for Modelo Especial, Headway, and Benji, and $8 for Ghost IPA, all 16 oz pours. The pricing is consistent across the core list, with the single higher-priced IPA at $8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Three of the four drafts come from Connecticut breweries: Counter Weight in Cheshire, Dudley Town, and Tribus Beer Co. In Milford. The list is small but the sourcing is specific, and the 16 oz format is uniform across all four taps.
