Two level brew-pub with 15 or so taps. They usually have 10 dedicated to their own offerings and 3-5 for guest beers. Their black IPA was very good, but the others were nothing worth going out of the way for. Cozy space with good servers that don’t know much of anything about their own beer. I asked what style a beer on the board was and they looked at me like i was crazy and said "its dark."

I really love the building and how there have been so many different additions that you can go here 5 times and feel like youve been to 5 different brew pubs. Place is PACKED on Saturday evenings so be ready for slow service. Food is really great with a decently priced menu. Beer is average at best. Had a sampler and another beer and they were all mediocre. Ive gone in the winter and had better luck with the beers but i dont remember them that well. Overall a cool spot.

Went there twice while in town for a conference. The food was okay on both occasions, but the service was always great. I sat in the outside upstairs bar area one night and the inside bar the next night. A couple of flat screens to watch the game in the inside bar area. Some good local beer; I recommend the sampler.

I’ve had several great meals here. The service was good to excellent on my visits. Overall, this was an average brewpub experience, but nothing was wrong per say, so I wouldn’t mind going back anytime. However, I need to checkout other places in this Western MA town.

Cool horseshoe bar, nice comfy sofa armchairs in the lounge sort of area. We stayed downstairs at the bar so didn’t check out the upstairs or the outside seating, though from the street the outside area looks pretty cool. Service started out rather spotty as out of the 14 seats at the bar, only seven were taken (two by us), and the bartender still passed us up 5 or more times while serving the guy directly next to us additional beers. Took about ten minutes to finally get our order in. Food came out quickly enough once the order went in though, but the disappearing bartender proceeded to vanish again while a new group came in and began speculating on her location for a while longer. My wife got the pulled pork which was decent, with some fries that tasted like they were fried a while ago and had been sitting, or were oven baked instead. Not so good. The side salad I ordered with my pizza never came until I finally got her attention again. My pizza was decent, but I’ve had much better at other brewpubs. Wasn’t a waste of time, but doesn’t seem like someplace that we’ll be in a hurry to visit again.

This place is sprawling with lots and lots of space. I didn’t eat any food, but enjoyed a pint on the roof, which was a good place to be on a warm night. The waitstaff at the outdoor bar was attentive and quick, but not particularly knowledgeable. Prices seemed a little high for a pint. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit this place, but if in town, it’s worth a stop.

Great beer! The BEST chili I have ever found in a restaurant.

A good try, more of a college town money making operation.

I have never had the food here, but have enjoyed some good beers here in my day. The beer they brew is pretty good, and the roof toop bar and seating are awesome. If you live in the area, you should check it out, but if you are over an hour, i wouldn’t bother, unless you plan to spend the day in northampton. The staff is very friendly, yet not necasarily knowledgeable about the beer they serve, it is more pretty female bartenders on the roof top than beer geek bartenders. When I asked one of them what style a beer was she said its an ale, which was funny to me because i guess i waned to know what kind of ale it was before i bought it.

beer tour 09/22/08 very interesting building, with a great beer garden on top, featuring several levels. Very pleasant to sit in the September sun. Host quickly sat us in a shady spot, and waitress took our drink orders. As usual I ordered the beer sampler, 4- 6oz beers, a saison, a rye beer, an IPA and a porter. The rye beer was very good, slightly spicy from the rye, but not overpowering, with some hoppiness as well. The saison was also well done, and in fact, all the beers were very drinkable. Sweet potato fries were our snack while there, and were crisp and hot, and a decent portion. A pleasant stay on a beautiful day, well worth the stop
