Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4065422, member: 1414"] So a busy day with two other couples in Easthampton, MA. Visited three breweries. [URL='https://www.newcitybrewery.com/']New City Brewery[/URL] In an old Mill along the bike trail next to the lower mill pond. Huge outdoor space, fairly small indoor space. Only about 8 beers, all around 5% abv. I thought the porter was good, the Scotch ale ok. Tried the IPA and it was just ok. Seems to really cater to the bikers, many park there to get on the bike trail (and I think the beer list is geared to them). Food was ok. [URL='https://www.abandonedbuildingbrewery.com/']Abandoned Building Brewery[/URL] Impressive IPAs and other beers. Huge outdoor space and a very nice huge indoor space, all tucked away in the same mill complex as the place above. No kitchen but they do food trucks. They also supply board games. They have a list of 4 hot pepper beers, tried a sample of one, not bad. The New England IPAs shine here, but everything is very good. [URL='http://www.forthillbrewery.com/']Fort Hill Brewery[/URL] Even more huge location, inside and out. This one had by far the most people. The beer quality is somewhere between the first two. Their Festbeer was good, not amazing. They did have a varied list of beers with a range of styles. An orange blossom honey Pilsner was quite good (sample). IPA was better than New City, but not up to Abandoned Building levels. On the way back to our host's house in Longmeadow we stopped in Springfield. [URL='https://www.studentprince.com/']The Student Prince & The Fort[/URL] Had a large outdoor area, but notably lots of German beers on tap, including the Hacker-Schorr Marzen pictured. Great beer. Had to get the liter stein for the fun of it, but couldn't finish it. [ATTACH type="full" width="684px"]70155[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
