Amazing beers on tap, all brewed in house. Andrea is great behind the bar and looked after us really well. Stellar atmosphere as always.

This brewery is a great addition to downtown Pittsfield. They have a nice selection of beers and IPAs on tap plus wine, hard cider and seltzer. It's a nice spot to chill and meet new friends. Like most breweries, they don't serve meals but have a few snacks on hand. They have local menus and allow people to bring in food. Grab a friend, some food and head over to catch up and play some games. Say hi to Mike and Sarah.

Coffee was amazing!

Love the super chill ambiance and friendly service. Beer was outstanding (according to my hubby). We also returned the next day to check out their coffee. Also strong and on point. Extra bonus love for the fact that you can bring your own food. Wish we lived here just to enjoy the delights of Hot Plate Brewing! Maybe they'll open up a location in New Haven, CT

Amazing new brewery. This was a terrific Saison. Great new spot in Pittsfield.

The atmosphere was probably the best part of our visit. It felt a little more removed from…read moreeverything else going on around town, which made it a more relaxing place to eat. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to it. The fried tomatoes were cut way too thick and just weren't good. Our food came out cold, which was disappointing. I had the kafta, and it was just okay. I also tried the pierogies that my wife and kids ordered--they were decent, but nothing I'd go back for. Overall, the atmosphere was better than the food.

We were in town for Solid Sound and it was hot! So Saturday afternoon we went looking for a…read morerestaurant where we could sit down and have some food, beer, and AC. Door Prize was hitting on all cylinders. We came in at a time between lunch and dinned so they ware not taking on many new patrons but they let the three of us sit at the bar. We ordered up three beers while enjoying the coolness and checking out the food menu. The interior is some nice dark wood with just enough lighting. the bar was comfortable. I ordered up the schnitzel sandwich and the guys got potato pierogis and beef pierogis. My sandwich was pretty good. I of course ordered it without the mayo so only have the pickles. The meat was maybe a little thing and close to overdone. The pickles were sour and bright and added some good kick to the sandwich. The fries were bountiful, well seasoned, and good. The guys liked the pierogis. We ended with a shot for some reason and that was good too. I guess that was Andrew's idea. The bartender was friendly, kept things going, and nice. I guess this should be a five star review except that the weirdness of some people could come in and not others until dinner time. I should be grateful we got in but I and not sure what was going on. Anyway I am sure that we will be back at the Door Prize with the next Solid Sound because it is good!

I cannot wait to come back here. Popped in on a rainy day after hiking, I was really impressed with…read morethe excellent beer options on tap. Having some of my favorite beer options from the local area / North East (shout out to Mast Landing's Gunners Daughter). Aside from the beer, the tacos here were incredible. They are not lying about the best tacos in town. Although the seating area is on the smaller side, it never felt cramped - it was the perfect spot to spend a few hours this rainy day. As a bonus, the bar tenders were super knowledgeable on the local beer scene. I really enjoyed hearing some of their stories on how certain breweries ended up on tap at Draught Industries. Hoping to be back again this summer/fall.

Beacon is a destination town for beer lovers. Between Industrial Arts (which brews some of my…read moreall-time favorite beers), Hudson Valley Brewery, Two Way, and a handful of others, you could spend a whole weekend here just brewery hopping. Draught Industries fits right into that scene. It's a spot run by people who clearly care about craft beer, with a long, rotating tap list and a laid-back, slightly quirky vibe. But what surprised me most was the food. I started with the pulled pork sandwich with ghost pepper aioli. The pork was tender and smoky, and the aioli brought real heat without drowning out the meat. If you like spice, get it. The real reason I'll be back, though, is the wild boar tacos. I love wild boar, and you almost never see it on a menu, so I ordered it the second I saw it. They come topped with guacamole, pineapple pico de gallo, and habanero peppers. The richness of the boar, the creamy guac, and the sweet pineapple against the habanero heat all worked together perfectly. Easily some of the best tacos I've had in the Hudson Valley. Great beer, bold food, and a menu willing to take chances. If you're doing a Beacon brewery crawl, make Draught Industries a stop. And come hungry.
