Bright Ideas is part of an RV hospitality program that let us stay here in their parking lot, which was pretty darned awesome. It also meant that I didn't have to count beers and be concerned about driving. This is a massive space with lots of interesting side rooms and special places, which was helpful as I could concentrate on writing Yelp reviews and not be distracted by singing of the evening's entertainer. The bartender was friendly and helpful - Eric? - in giving me a tour and ensuring that the camper van was parked in the right spot. It was a surprisingly quiet evening considering it is adjacent to the airport. [Review 1140 of 2025 - 1281 in Massachusetts - 24693 overall]

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.

A full‑send, Springfield‑USA, Simpsons‑loving, family‑friendly craft‑beer playground that…read moreabsolutely gets it. Two Weeks Notice is the kind of spot that reminds you why Springfield has its own brand of cool. It's got that gritty‑creative, blue‑collar‑meets‑art‑kid energy, and the brewery leans all the way in with its Simpsons‑inspired humor, cheeky can art, and a vibe that feels like the unofficial taproom of Cool Springfield, USA. The Simpsons theme is everywhere--subtle enough not to feel gimmicky, but clever enough that fans will grin every time they spot a reference. The artwork alone is worth a visit; it's playful, bold, and gives the whole place a personality that stands out in the Western Mass beer scene. The beer selection hits that sweet spot: hazies for the juice chasers, crisp lagers for the purists, and a rotating lineup that keeps regulars on their toes. Everything is poured fresh, cold, and with care. The staff? Genuinely friendly, quick with recommendations, and clearly proud of the place. It's the kind of team that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. This is one of those rare breweries where bringing kids doesn't feel like a chore. There's space to roam, things to look at, and a relaxed vibe that makes families feel welcome without sacrificing the adult fun. Springfield needs more spots like this. The outdoor space is a total win--open, comfortable, and perfect for warm‑weather hangs. Whether you're sipping a flight, letting the kids burn off energy, or just soaking in the neighborhood, it's one of the best parts of the experience. Cheers

It used to be a tight fit but with the new expansion, there is so much space to spread out and enjoy! I think there's been a change in pet policy (only service animals allowed indoors), which didn't impact us per se but noting as an FYI for other dog owners. There is a huge outdoor tented patio set up, though, so you should be good either way. I'd love to see more light beer options personally, but that's just me. Good rotation of beers for those who love IPAs.

So few things to know about this place. First. There is no table service so all the reviews "no one…read morecame to my table" if you read the 20 signs that said no table service you would have see your entitlement doesn't matter. Second. It gets busy but if you are patient and not a jerk they take great care of you. Third. Food. Absolutely amazing. Been three times on my trip to the area. Steak sandwich, burger (shown) and sticky ribs. I will say the sticky ribs are messy but delicious. If you sit at the bar you can see the brewery through the glass. Not sure how the review"they don't wear gloves" because you can't see the kitchen. Probably the same one that didn't read the no table service sign. Would like to see a few more TVs for some games but all good. Check this place out if you're in town.

Berkshire Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in South Deerfield, Massachusetts in 1994…read more It was founded by brewers Gary Bogoff and Christopher Lalli. Bogoff was originally a general contractor and cabinet maker before he took up home brewing as a hobby in 1991. He and Lalli would soon realize that they both had a passion for quality beer, so they decided to open their own brewery. They had a dream to introduce premium lager drinkers to the world of quality craft beer. The location they picked in South Deerfield to house their new operation was a former cigar manufacturing plant. By word of mouth, and taste buds, their flagship beer "Steel Rail Pale Ale" became an instant success with beer drinkers in Western Massachusetts. All BBC beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and contains no chemical additives or preservatives. Lalli would leave the business after 20 years, but Bogoff continues to grow the company. BBC is now one of the largest craft breweries in New England. My wife and I first visited Berkshire Brewing Company in April 2014. This was one of the first craft breweries that we ever visited and toured. It's relatively close to the popular Yankee Candle Village. At that time, tours were only done on Saturdays at 1:00 PM sharp. Our tour guide was Bob Migliaccio, who was the brewmaster at that time. He asked everyone to simply call him 'Brewmaster Bob'; he was quite the character. We were really impressed with the facility and all of the equipment. As you can imagine, customers were treated to generous samples of beer in the 'Dick Schatz' Tap Room. Schatz was a retired volunteer who worked at BBC until he passed away in 2006. He donated his large collection of beer memorabilia to the brewery and it now adorns the taproom. Not only did customers get to sample several of BBC's mainstays, but even some experimental beers that weren't available to the general public. My favorite BBC offerings would have to be "Green Gown Double IPA", "Drayman's Porter", "Coffeehouse Porter", and "The Russian Imperial Stout". Although several New England craft breweries have come and gone over the years, BBC has persevered for nearly 30 years and I hope that they continue to brew excellent brews for several more years.

I chatted with the brewer, Bruno, about what a fan of IPAs I was and he offers me to try some samples. I ordered the West Coast IPA and went outside to enjoy it. It turns out the beer that I ordered turned out to be the 2nd to last beer from that keg. While I was happily enjoying my beer outside, the server came over and said the Brewer wanted to make sure I fully appreciated the quality of the beer, I was given a replacement glass. I was stunned. The second glass certainly was a bit crisper than the first, but that is not my point. I was very impressed by that gesture and thought what attention to detail and customer satisfaction from a brewmaster. I would recommend this place unreservedly for craft beer drinkers.
