Fantastic craft beer brewery with a unique selection! I…read morestopped here while visiting the area and I'm so glad I did. Though they only had four beers on tap when my boyfriend and I stopped in, they were all awesome. The four were: Wobbly Pop, a New England IPA, a Peanut Porter, Thai Wun On, a Belgian Wit with Thai spices and ghost peppers, and Dark Materials Imperial Stout. Since their flight includes five small pours, the bartender gave us the four and let us decide which one we liked best for our fifth pour. The Thai Wun On Belgian Wit was such an interesting beer and had great flavor, and little heat - thankfully! The bartender was really friendly and we enjoyed meeting the brewery cat Fuggle. She's so sweet! Though they don't serve food, they do let you bring your own food in. It's a great craft brewery!

It's quite dim after dark, unless you snag a table next to one of the lamps, so plan your game choice accordingly. The beers were surprisingly good, and our group appreciated that (unlike so many other craft breweries) the tap list wasn't full of IPAs. We did flights to be able to sample an assortment of beers, and enjoyed nearly all of them! "The past is a corridor" smoked lager wasn't a winner - the smokiness crowded out any other flavors. On the other hand, the "Capable of Anything" chamomile blonde ale was lovely, as was the berry-forward "High Priestess" sour ale and the Pittsfield Pils. For a light, corona-like lager, the Yacht Rock Summer did the trick.

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.

We were eager to try their beers, so naturally we started with a beer flight and enjoyed all of our choices, including the light Lunch Break Ale, the Inner IPA, the seasonal Pumpkin Ale, and the Spectral Brown Ale. I'd probably skip the Lunch Break, but would absolutely order the other 3 again. Sticking with the flight theme, they have a soup flight option for lunch! The poblano corn chowder was good, but my least favorite of the three - you definitely get the poblano flavor, though it's not spicy. I prefer a thicker chowder, but it was a nice light version. The stout onion soup was delicious, with lots of onions and cheese, and croutons which made it easier to eat than one hunk of bread. But...it was way too salty. The chili is very good. Thick and hearty, with a medium heat level and it went very well with the Spectral Brown. I only got to try one small bite of the Reuben, but it looked delicious and the corned beef was tender with a good purple cabbage crunch. The interior is spacious and nicely decorated, but we were thrilled to enjoy the sunshine on their front patio aside the spectacular wolf mural. Lacey checked on us and made sure we were pleased with everything. Would definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area.

There's plenty of room to spread out, and you can even order pizza right inside, which makes it easy to settle in for a while. I started with Old Man of the Mountain and Jjjjjjjuice Affair on tap, both excellent. For round two I went with Fellowship Maple and Julius, which I believe is the OG, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Before leaving, I used the app to order a ridiculous amount of beer to go, including the infamous Green. The app made the whole process smooth, and I walked out well stocked. Can't wait to get back. Treehouse is a must-visit for any craft beer lover. New England has the best beers in the entire country.
