5 Best Craft Breweries near Palmer

1 Seven Railroads Brewing Company

4.7 Superb 39 Reviews

1235 Park Street, Palmer

“I visit new craft breweries wherever I go. I saw Seven Railroad's stands at several beer festivals before and decided to pay a visit to the brewery. The brewery is located in its own building with a plenty of parking in front of it. It consists of a single indoor room and an outdoor patio. The decor inside is warm and welcoming. No food is available besides snacks. The place is dog-friendly with many people bringing their pets, so it might get busy. One of the owners - Rachel - was working that day. She is very friendly and kept the conversations flowing at the bar. There were 10 beers on tap and 1 seltzer during my visit. You have an option to order a beer flight of 4 or just pay for a small pour per-glass. For this review, I tried all the beers they had to offer. I enjoyed almost everything. I appreciate a good mix between common styles and less popular ones. My favorites for the day were Palmerator (doppelbock) and Prometheus (rauchbier). Both were really tasty and great hits for their styles, although I'd wish rauchbier to be a bit smokier. Overall, I enjoyed my visit quite a lot. I will recommend this place to other craft beer enthusiasts.”

2 Arcpoint Brewing Company

30 Front St, Belchertown · 9.05 miles

“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.”

“We had another great visit to Fieldcrest Brewing Company! I ordered the Blueberry Lemonade Slush, and it was absolutely delicious—refreshing, perfectly balanced, and packed with fresh blueberry and lemonade flavor. It was the perfect summer drink! My husband had the Raisincrest Stout, and he couldn’t stop talking about how smooth and flavorful it was. He loved the rich roasted malt flavor with the subtle sweetness from the raisins and vanilla. Great drinks, friendly staff, and an awesome atmosphere. We always enjoy coming here and can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommend!”
