    This place is so cool! It's legit an abandoned building being converted into eclectic living/working spaces. They share the parking lot with a local dispensary. While you sip on their delicious selection of IPAs (pups are welcome too), you get to lock love eyes with the brewing equipment neatly displayed in the back. Brewtenders we're knowledgeable and fruitful with their drinking tips. If you want a good suggestion the Dirty girl is where it's at, she's light, sweet and then boom where's my wallet? You won't regret the trip.

    Pretty cool little spot. Venue itself isn't as good as the other brewery in the building, but the beer itself is generally better. Dirty Girl and Other End were both good enough I would order them when out somewhere. They don't sell single cans unfortunately, or I would have picked some more up. (Couldn't justify four packs right then....my beer fridge is already quite full and not getting turned over fast enough.) Split one with pops instead. Maybe next time... Oh, and no food truck on Sunday's apparently, but they have chips and nuts for purchase.

    Such a great selection of beers. I went there for my sisters birthday and had a blast. They had live music and plenty of seating. We came in when it was busy with a party of 6 and they were able to seat us in one of the picnic tables. They have a BYOF policy and allow orders from the nearby restaurants since they don't sell anything other than small snacks. I loved the look of the place and had a blast talking to the staff about beers and getting an endless amount of flights. 100% recommend!

    Checkers and "Ain't Nothing But A G Thang" beer

    I came here with my mum after visiting Insa Easthampton. We were wonderfully surprised by the warm and laid back atmosphere. I enjoyed the descriptions of the beers, but it was the "Nothing but a G Thang" that stole my attention, and then ensnared my tastes. It's light, rich, pleasant, and too nice to be an IPA, honestly. My mom liked her beer flight, and we played checkers and Jenga. This was a Great Sunday Afternoon. There were even dogs! I'm glad we spent it here.

    Pretty cool space if you don't get lost or discouraged before finding it. The parking lot has Honda Civic-sized pot holes that would break your axle. There are no signs to direct you to this place and we actually stumbled over another microbrewery sign with City in the name before we found this location. It would help if the entrance to your establishment was not hidden behind a big white 18-wheeler trailer. Just saying. Once we got there for the Poems and Pints night, we tastes some decent brews. Of course we enjoyed the Dirty Girl name but my favorite was the Odin. I'll be back. During day light. With my hiking boots.

    If you like good beer and you are up for an adventure, Abandoned Brewery is a great place to check out. It is a little hard to find because you have to pull in behind an abandoned building and weave your way to the back of the building. Once you are there, the place opens up into a warm and bright tasting room with plenty of comfortable seating. They have sampler flights as well as beers for purchase. Then, you can pick what you would like for your growler fills. The beer is great - I am a lover of IPAs and their Hoppy Valley IPA is delicious. They also have a really nice saison - Lola's Saison. This is a must stop for me when I am in the area because the people are nice and the beer is great. It is a really nice item to take over to a friend's house to share or to bring home and enjoy. Currently their tasting room hours are Tuesday and Friday from 5-7pm and Saturday from 12-6pm. Their hours change from time to time so you can always call to make sure they are accurate - 413-282-7062. Stop in and enjoy!

    Although I found parking to be a little bit of a challenge, which might be blamed on my GPS is telling me to try to park out front, parking is in the back, this is a divine little place to sit and enjoy yourself.There are a lot of breweries in the area, and this one is not very different from other ones, With the exception of having a nice logo any interesting location Once I figured out how to get down into the place. I'm rolling my eyes at myself, don't worry.I did enjoy the Dirty Girl IPA which is hoppy with a slightly bitter aftertaste and nicely flavored and strong like a good IPA should be. Unfortunately, I went here for an event so I did not have the chance to sample more than one beer here. On the other hand, of all the breweries I have been to, the acoustics in here were amazing. I have heard Ben Cosgrove play before, and his little keyboard tends to have a muted sound. In this room , it sounded like you were sitting inside a seashell, immersed in this overwhelmingly beautiful sound of nature. It was a breathtaking surprise. Even the friendly disposition of the bartender was enough to make me want to come back.

    I am a craft beer lover, have been at many breweries, they all offer something different. This place offers a nice cozy atmosphere, great tasting beer and great staff and customers. It just happens that when I was here they had a band, nice music not so loud. Very enjoyable experience, Thumbs up. Reading at old reviews all I have to say is, it is all good now, all paved no potholes and safe.

    Fort Hill Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Easthampton, Massachusetts in November 2014. It…read morewas founded by head brewer Eric Berzins. Originally from Vermont, Berzins began looking for a good location to open a brewery after attending the Siebel Institute for Brewing in 2010. He settled on a former hay field in Easthampton at the base of Mount Tom. He chose Easthampton for the city's delicious, environmentally protected water. He was also enamored with the community's friendliness and sense of welfare. Berzins adheres to the Reinheitsgebot German purity law for the majority of his beers. Per the age-old law, the beer can only be produced with four ingredients: water, hops, malt, and yeast. At first, Fort Hill only brewed lagers. More recently they have ventured into hoppier territory with the addition of IPAs. My son and I recently visited Fort Hill Brewery while we were cycling the large network of bike trails in and around Northampton. The brewery is conveniently located right alongside the spur trail section of the Manhan Rail Trail. The location had seating available outside as well as inside and was quite packed when we arrived. The draught menu that day featured about 20 different beers of varying styles. Being the hop head that I am, I decided to order a sampler flight of five IPAs. It consisted of "G-Fresh" (Grapefruit IPA), "Disco Kid" (IPA), "Fresh Pick" (NEIPA), "Checkmate Chuck" (DIPA) and "Jigsaw Jazz" (DIPA). They were all pretty good, but "G-Fresh" and "Fresh Pick" were my two favorites. My son and I grabbed a table by the brewery's small stage and we listened to the blues sensations of Wildcat O'Halloran's band while I enjoyed my beer samples. We had a nice time at Fort Hill Brewery and I would definitely stop by again!

I had two beers, and both very tasty. The Pianist, is exactly what I'd usually gravitate towards a great sour, with a bit of a twist. I also had Corrupt Cranberry, this is not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. It's a seltzer beer, I've never heard of such a thing. It's very unique, a bit more watery then the average beer, but also very flavorful. The night I was here, there was live music. This is a great little brewery that I enjoyed checking out. I have to add, they charge $2.00 for beer sampling. I'm not sure how big the samples are, this might be a covid reason. This is also a dog friendly brewery.

Since it was a gorgeous day, however, we opted for outside seating. We enjoyed the picnic tables and Adirondack chairs overlooking the river, and appreciated that there were umbrellas to provide shade.

I'd love to recommend it, but unfortunately, I can not. In fact, it might count as a PSA to warn other people about it. Let me preface by saying I don't blame badly behaved children when I see them in public; I blame their parents. However, the staff here is also to blame. They need to start, or at least learn how to inform parents that they remain responsible for their children's behavior and actions while they are visiting the brewery. I've never had an issue with children at breweries either. I have been going to breweries throughout New England for over 20 years and enjoy spending time with friends who have children at most of them. I have never experienced one like this. It was basically an unlicensed daycare center for parents who like to drink. Most people I know don't want to be surrounded by screaming toddlers, babies, and middle schoolers who are unsupervised and unchecked. There is no place here that is a safe space for adults, not even the restrooms. Think "Lord of the Flies" with beer and pizza, my friend even got hit with a spitball, and I haven't seen one of those since high school! I still have a headache, and I was there a week ago. I may go back, but I am not brave enough yet, and it will be on a weekday during school hours.

See that little stand-up thing on your table that says, "Beer Me?" See that big round button in its center? Well, just press the button, the whole thing lights up, so the staff can see it and someone will be there in a jiff to get you a new glass of suds. Is this a great country or what? I gotta thank my South Carolina buddy Ron for that "great country" line, he texted it back to me after I texted him a photo of the table thingy with an explanation. We loved our visit yesterday -great beer selection, super friendly service, a big spacious seating area (with a large outdoor seating option), terrific artwork on the walls that's for sale, and very nice food service as well. They had sixteen beers on tap yesterday, a nice selection representing different beer styles, and not overly IPA dependent, like some of the breweries I visit. I saw lagers, stouts, and a Kolsch. IPAs were well represented with Imperial Double, Session, New England, and milkshake IPA variants. My wife went with a 16-ounce draft of Weekend Warrior (American Lager - 5% ABV) for a very reasonable $5. I wanted their 12-ounce draft of Keepers of the Cake: Birthday Cake W/Raspberry & Strawberry (a White Stout - 6% ABV) for $8, but that wasn't available, so I went with their unfruited version of the same for $7. I loved my beer and sipped the Weekend Warrior too -both were excellent! Some of the names on the beer list made me chuckle -Pink Slip, Severance Package, Performance Review, and Big Riff. There's live music on Friday nights, and occasional food truck on site, and a separate food vendor (separate ordering and payment) in the back. We got a pretzel and a damned fine loaded hot dog. So where did the brewery's name come from? Years ago, Mark -the current Head Brewer's wife gave him a home beer brewing kit as a birthday gift. He entered a few beer competitions and won, including the prestigious Worthy Brewfest. The website puts it this way "Mark coined the name of the company based off his wish of one day quitting his desk job to pursue his dream of owning and operating his own brewery. It was not long until Mark was absolutely determined to become a true contributor in the craft beer community he loved." Mark found a business partner in his old boss, and the two of them quit together to open the brewery. As my buddy Ron said, is this a great country or what?

    There are so many favorite beers at Two Weeks Notice. While they were out of our favorite, Pink…read moreSlip, There is always something else that we like to choose from. This brewery tends to have the biggest selection of different types of beer to choose from, and you won't find yourself saying wow, they have a good IPA but I don't like their lager. This is one of the few beer breweries where I will actually buy their Irish stout because it is yummy. You will also notice that the artwork is quite interesting as well, done by a local artist. The food here is your basic snacks, and we don't mind if we have to have a couple of pretzels with dipping sauce to enjoy our beer outside with. If you like inside, the inside has spacious sitting and it is really nice to have an option where you can sit with someone and have a conversation and not feel like you need to shout over the people next to you. It is just great. I took home the Two Year Anniversary cans, which is a REALLY smooth and tasty ipa.
