The selection and variance of beer here is incredible! I love the risks they take with different flavors and styles of beer, the color of some of them are outstanding and the flavors are always unique. This is a must if you're into the brewery scene in Massachusetts. read more

The staff was friendly and helpful and gave good recommendations when we inquired as to a type of beer we wanted to get as a gift but didn't typically drink. Love that they offered two different flight sizes. A cool option if you want to try a bunch of things but want to share. Myself and each of my friends got a flight and the trays they used were extremely sturdy and the handle made it way easier to carry than those at other breweries. The beer was tasty, though nothing blew me away. read more

Tin Bridge Brewing Company - Flight ordered by my friend - Brewpubs Near Me - Westfield, Massachusetts

Tin Bridge Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Westfield, Massachusetts in October 2017. It was founded by brothers Joe and Nick Cocchi. Joe has been the guitarist for the popular Westfield-based metalcore band Within the Ruins since their formation in 2003. Nick spent several years working for a national flooring company. Around 2013, both brothers began homebrewing together as a hobby. After getting more serious about it, the two decided to open their own brick and mortar brewery. They chose the name "Tin Bridge" in reference to an old railroad bridge in Westfield that was part of the defunct New Haven and Northampton Railroad. The bridge was a local hangout spot when the brothers were growing up. The location chosen to house the new brewery had been home to a Westfield landmark called the Points East restaurant and lounge for several years. I first visited Tin Bridge Brewing in June 2019. I arrived by bicycle; I cycled to Westfield all the way from Farmington, Connecticut via the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail (the section in Westfield is known as the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail). The eponymous "tin bridge" is now incorporated into the rail trail. I arrived just as they were opening for the day. The interior was really cool; nice woodwork around the bar as well as a shuffleboard table and classic arcade cabinets for patrons. The flight paddles even come decorated with a railroad spike: a clever reference to the brewery's railroad connection. I ordered a flight of five samples including "Blueberry Graham Cracker Pie" (Pale Ale brewed with Graham Cracker Pie Crust and Blueberries), "Pomegranate IPA", "Operation Citra 5.0" (New England IPA), "Tropic Thunder" (New England Pale Ale), and "Peanut Butter Porter". I enjoyed my flight so much that I ordered a second one consisting of "Jalapeño Ale #3", "Foggy Notions (DDH Galaxy)" (New England IPA), "Project Haze #4" (New England IPA), "Bomber Stout", and "Hazelnut Coffee Stout (Nitro)". I throughly enjoyed all of the offerings, but my two favorites were the Blueberry Pie Beer and the Peanut Butter Porter; I ordered crowlers of them to take home. I really enjoyed my visit to Tin Bridge! It's a great place to stop after a long bike ride on the nearby bike trail. read more

Really friendly staff and cool atmosphere. I think I may have built their beer up in my head, I was very excited about all the fruit and dessert beers they had as I am not an IPA person. The PB stout they had was pretty good but the fruit beers were just eh. They fell flat for me. Might be willing to go back if I was in the area again and looking for something to do. read more

Great little brewery. My parents live semi-local, so I'm sure I'll be back, and they won't necessarily have to drag me there. Probably 3.5 for beer overall, rounding up to 4 for the overall package. FINDING IT Look for the Phipps Liquor Store building, they're just left of it. If you're not from the area and have no idea what that means, look for a large curved red roof (see my pictures). Or look for Home Depot...Tin Bridge is in the complex across the street. VENUE The venue is awkward from outside, looks like one of those temporary buildings they throw up when a school/business needs cheap square footage. The inside, however, is very welcoming, clean, spacious appropriately lit, nicely laid out for the live music they had, and with a nice long bar that helps keeps the lines short. Plenty of space inside, and a nice new patio as well, for those looking for some sun. BEER Of the five I tried, they were generally all quite good. There's an app for that. Good variety. Looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer. Mosaic Maximus and Operation Citra 4.0 are good options, but why not just get a flight and try a few yourself? They offer flights, small pours and full pours, but you don't need to be a genius to realize the small pours are not a great deal. Just get the full pour... They do growlers as well. CT-Peeps - If you want a growler, don't forget to bring a "non-branded" one that meets MA requirements, otherwise you'll be stuck buying a new growler bottle as well. FOOD The food varies, as it is provided by food truck businesses...so I can't really help you here. Figure out who they have that day, then look the truck up on Yelp! PARKING A dumb thing to get excited about, but plentiful and spacious parking really revs my engine. They have lots of it. Lots. Ha. Really wish I had a 3rd pun for you. Damn. Anyway, I hate door dings (or risk thereof), but at Tin Bridge you can park as close or as far away as you want. read more

''Should I take 'em to the bridge? Yeah!, Take 'em to the bridge'' (James Brown - Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine) If you or your buddies enjoy a nice cold one, by all means, take 'em to the bridge. If you want to see a 32-ounce growler can poured fresh and sealed right in front of your eyes, take 'em to the bridge, the Tin Bridge that is. You'll find it way off to the left side of a Big Y strip mall on Route 20, with a big tasting room full of picnic tables and benches, a long bar and some very friendly and personable folks working behind the bar. They have quite a few nifty beers all brewed on premises, and you can enjoy a glass, a flight or a few different growler options. Check out today's eleven selections: The Grip IPA Session - 5.0% Rail Trail Pale American - 5.5% Operation Citra New England IPA - 6.5% Radio Metal American IPA - 6.2% Mosaic New England IPA - 7.5% Nut Brown American Ale - 5.8% Porter Pounder - 5.2% Imperial Stout - 8.0% 180 American IPA - 7.0% Halo 2.0 Blonde Ale - 4.6% Oat Chocolate Stout We enjoyed an 11 ounce glass of their Halo Blonde Ale ($5) and a $12 Flight of my five choices (I hate when some breweries mandate what beers are in their flights. Not here) . I selected the Rail Trail, Nut Brown, Porter, Oat Chocolate Stout, and Mosaic IPA. I like the darker beers over IPAs, and thought the Oat Stout was the best of the three I tried, followed by the Porter and the Nut Brown Ale. I'm not much of an IPA guy, but I found the Mosaic IPA super drinkable. They sell glass growlers, aluminum growlers and some very cool 32 ounce growler cans (Crowlers). The growler can process is a riot! They'll fill a lidless can with whatever you want on tap, then lovingly carry it over to a machine, place a lid on it, and you get to watch the thing rotate like crazy until the can is all sealed. Believe me, it's a lot more fun that watching the paint mixing machine at Home Depot ! I ordered two growler cans of their Mosaic IPA ($10 each) for my IPA loving pals. They were selling hot dogs and brats today, and food trucks are there some evenings. They have video games, board games, and a real chill vibe. Well done, Tin Bridge. read more

This is my third visit here, all at different days or times. I think it is now fair to say that the owners of this brewery deserve three stars. Typically, there is not food served here. I never ate at the old Points East which was here, and I doubt any restaraunt would bring people to this small corner, so I am excited to see people get into this place. I love (LOVE) the mosaic ipa, and I can always find an ipa I like. The peanut butter porter is also popular. You will always go "that sounds interesting" even if a certain type of beer is not your fave (sours for me). The bar area is long and cozy and there are family-style tables to sit at with groups or strangers. This place is unique in the blend of older and younger patrons, older and younger couples, business wear and bikers. Everyone fits in here, which is by far the thing that has stood out the most on all of my visits. We lucked out and had Murphy's food truck present along with Dan and the Caveman doing a spot on Smashing Pumpkin cover with an acoustic ending you had to hear to believe. read more

Surprisingly good find. They've turned a concrete box into a very comfortable and cool spot. Excellent beer with plenty variety. Definitely putting in the rotation. read more

Great variety of beers!!! Never had a bad beer! Wish they had more variety in food trucks but great overall!!!

Love Tin Bridge! Always fun brews to try. We have a flight every time and love the variety. Atmosphere is chill and they always have a food truck. The service is quick and courteous. Every visit is a good time! read more

This brewery is tucked into the corner of a Big Y supermarket plaza right on Route 20 in Westfield. But if you don't know where to look you'll miss it tucked into the far left corner of the parking lot. Once you find it you will be very happy, especially if you like fruit based ales, as I do. The fruit based ales are part of their creamsicle series. You name the fruit and they've probably created an ale from it. The day I was there they had three: strawberry creamsicle, raspberry creamsicle and Italian plum crisp. All had a nice balance and lightness to them. None were overly fruity. It's a nice change on the taste spectrum from sour beers. I highly recommend this series of beers whether you like sour or non-sour ales. Raspberry was my favorite. For other tastes they have about 14 different taps going with most of the rest IPAs along with a porter and a stout also in the mix. Any beer fan will find something to like. Prices are also something to like. A flight of 5 beers is $12, which is reasonable and a pint pour will run you the usual $6-7. They have a popcorn machine on site, a rotating group of food trucks and there is also a Five Guys in the same shopping plaza for your fast food needs. read more

Go for the mosaic beer. Sooo good! This place is just awesome all around. Came in on a Saturday and the live music, food truck and live band kept me there for hours. Great place for groups of friends. Very laid back and easy vibe. Beer was so good I took it to go! read more

Tin Bridge Brewing Company - Beer to go - Brewpubs Near Me - Westfield, Massachusetts

Great new addition to the beer scene in Western Massachusetts. Just opened on 05OCT17 and the lines were out the door. The inside is a nice...long bar, lots of wood, a few classic video games in the back. (Install a pinball machine and I'd be there daily). They started out with 7 beers on tap: Imperial Stout, Robust Porter, Session IPA, Brown Ale, American IPA, Imperial IPA and American Pilsner. Two of my standouts were the "Grip" New England Style Session and the "Radio Metel" Hopped American Pilsner. Food was available outside from a food truck and the pulled pork sandwiches looked good. Not sure if this means they will not offer food in the future, or if this was just an "opening night" thing. From the looks of the building, I can't see where a kitchen would be hiding. Regardless, cool place, good beer, relaxed atmosphere with that "new bar" smell. Will be back every time I'm back in Westfield visiting. read more

We LOVE tin bridge. It is my number one favorite brewery in Westfield. Kind of a hidden gem because it's a small building but it's big on the inside, big picnic style tables suitable for large groups or casual hangout. They play a great variety of rock music. My favorite beer is the Double Citra but they always have new every week, and I've never been disappointed. We love to go when there are food trucks out back (especially North Elm Butcher block.) read more

Deff recommend if you are a light beer drinker like this girl. Mine and my husbands fav was the white chocolate raspberry. We got a couple crawlers to go will deff be back read more

Had a great time at this brewery while in the area recently. I love that they often have live music, the IPAs were delicious, and it was fun to try out the different popcorn seasonings. I look forward to returning! read more

It's fun spot. The beer is good. Free popcorn and they have shuffleboard. Food truck wasn't ready when I was in but seemed like they have cool rotation of different trucks. My only complaint is that I overheard the bartender talking crap to a customer about another local brewery in the area even though he admitted that he actually hadn't ever been. Listen everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for one small business-blood-sweat & tears company to talk trash about another, knowing the hard work and risk that goes into opening up a business...is just not cool. read more

The variety of beer this place has to offer is simply amazing. The beer is great and the crowler cans you can take home make it even better, the creative beers have a big difference in taste and color and it is a great concept for a New England brewery! 5 stars read more

Once again we were so happy to make Tin Bridge the start of a weekend in the berkshires! I absolutely loved the peanut butter Porter and cherry cheesecake. Delicious. Such a good vibe here and everyone was so nice. We shared a table with a lovely woman who turned out to be the grandma of the owners....she was delightful! Can't wait to come back again!! read more

I visited today for the first time ever and really enjoyed this brewery. It has a fun vibe, tasty beer with good variety, and food was available as well. This isn't necessarily a place I would take my child, but it was kid friendly and definitely a place I would go to have fun with friends! read more

Pretty decent beers with an incredible interior! We love Operation Citra and Mosaic Maximus. Great brewery with frequent new releases. The interior and experience is what keeps bringing us back. With live music, free popcorn, and food trucks every weekend, we're sold. Perfect place to grab a bite to eat, have some good beers, play some shuffleboard, and listen to great local bands. Would definitely recommend as the best in the area. read more

Beers were very good. My favorite was the jalapeño ale. Stouts are true to flavors described. Excellent food truck service.

Great beer, they had 11 on tap so we ordered two flights (10 beer samples) all were great. Not being a usual beer drinker peanut butter porter was my favorite. The atmosphere is so chill, live music when I was there and we were even able to sneak a couple of bar seats within 10 mins of being there. Popcorn machine is a nice touch and they had a food truck out back when I went ( a fri night) read more

Awesome atmosphere and great selection of beer. Flights are a great option to try a little bit of everything they have to offer. Their growlers are killer too! Need to head back soon for a refill read more

Tin bridge is located right next to Super Phipps in Westfield. Currently open Thursday thru Sunday with a food truck if your hungry. This place has a very welcoming feel to it with an industrial look. Free games, popcorn and water filling station as well. Oh and the beer try a flight they were all great. Definitely a new stop to look forward to. read more

The atmosphere and beer are fantastic. The food truck is a great option for those craving some good eats. I just came here with my husband and toddler and they were so friendly and accommodating. read more

Great atmosphere, Great selection of brews. Menu seemed a little heavy on the IPA side but that just may be the timing of my visit vs the size of their batches. Did a flight (5 oz pours) and took home a growler of the Galaga IPA. Though I am not a big fan of IPAs, this was my favorite in the flight. I even preferred it over the Stouts and a Porter I usually go for. read more

Great use of space. Simple design that is welcoming and cozy. Free self serve popcorn. Self serve h2o station as well. Games for community use as well as a Taylor acoustic. Wonder how long that guitar will be in one piece! Smart use of large screen TV that's easy to read to show beers on tap. No food except for popcorn and spiced nuts for sale as well as food trucks on certain days. Beer to go too. Quality beer and friendly service will keep me coming back as long as the doors are open.Bravo to the proprietors! read more

Good selection of craft beers. The atmosphere is my favorite quality of this location. You can grab a beer and pick a board game out to play while you drink (they have big jenga, checkers, clue, etc) read more

Since Tin Bridge opened in Westfield, we have been there more times than I care to admit....but let's just say it's a lot! They have some fantastic beers that are regularly available, and then the beers that are on rotation keep things interesting. All of the beers are made with quality in mind, which has been evident even in beers that aren't normally my preference. I personally think the peanut butter porter is the best beer at Tin Bridge, but the list of Tin Bridge beers that I have really enjoyed includes several others. Tin Bridge also keeps a great rotation of food trucks for when you want to dine while enjoying their beers. The food trucks that we've tried have all been delicious and a great complement to the beer selections. read more

Awesome brewery - great interior delicious beers, especiAlly the mosaic IPA. Worth the trip, or a night out... we purchased 2 x 64 oz growlers that did not last more then an hour, as our friend at hone loved the beer too! read more

This is a really unique place. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and great beer. Perfect place to meet up with a group of friends and kick back.The food truck and occasional live music just add to the fun vibe. read more

You really can't go wrong at Tin Bridge. They have flavors for everyone. A perfect variety and great tastes. The food trucks on the weekends are an awesome plus. There isn't always seating when it becomes a little crowded, but that's not uncommon in this type of setting. A great place to get a few beers with friends and family! read more

Beer is always on point here. They have food trucks pretty often but I still wish they had food. They take flavors and get them into beer like I've never experienced before. Their jalapeño beer has all the flavor of the pepper but none of the heat. The raspberry pie was delicious. I could taste the raspberries and the graham cracker crust, it's unreal. They do have popcorn to munch but seats are limited and there's been a few times I've left because it was just too busy to bother. Some people like the energy, I like to just grab a beer and chill. Definitely go and get a flight, if crowds aren't your thing go early. You won't be disappointed and chances are you'll find something you like enough to take home. read more

First trip to this location. Great space, very clean and welcoming. Beer Flight was a great choice. Solid service at the bar. You really should stop in for a pint. read more

Great place to have a beer with friends. Beers are just alright. With time I'm hoping they refine them a little.
