7 Best Craft Breweries near Belchertown

“Hydrate and Variance XI were very good beers. The atmosphere was nice, and the temperature in the taproom was very comfortable. The young lady who served me was very knowledgeable of the products, she was very friendly and welcoming. The only thing that caught me off guard was that my pints were served to me in plastic cups. I had asked if she could pour my next beer in a glass because I wasn’t taking my beer outdoors - I was comfortable staying indoors in the air conditioning. She told me that glassware was not available in that size, only the flight pours are served in glass. I saw you have a really nice dishwasher behind the counter - Is there a chance of transitioning into glassware? Beer just tastes better out of a glass. Thank you.“

“I am not a big beer drinker but craft beer has re-introduced me. EVERY beer I tasted had its purpose, was smooth and tasty. I now have quite a few favorites :). I also enjoyed the 'rustic' atmosphere and look forward to seeing this brewery continue to grow - awesome!“

“I have encountered Fieldcrest's stands at one or two beer festivals before, but this was my first visit to the brewery. It occupies its own building. There's plenty of parking space available. The seating is divided between a singular indoor room and an outside patio. The brewery does not have its own kitchen, but they can prepare several items in their oven and allow you to bring outside food. I tried their pretzel, which came with three different mustard-based sauces, and it was nice. The whole atmosphere of this place is cozy and relaxing. Many regulars visited the place that day. The brewery was also celebrating its 7-year anniversary. The owner, Adam, was on-site, and he turned out to be a very pleasant and knowledgeable person, sharing stories about the brewery and beer styles.

There were 10 taps during my visit: 9 beers and a seltzer. You have an option to order a flight of 4 to try more. For this review, I tried everything offered that day. There wasn't a single beer I disliked. To my surprise, even the staple beer styles you can find anywhere were really solid. My favorites for the day were Falken Pils and Vanilla Brown Ale, both direct hits into their respective styles, both crushable and refreshing.

I enjoyed my visit to this brewery. It is worth a dedicated trip here. I do recommend this place to others.“
