Microbreweries & Distilleries

The comfort and coziness of a New England pub is unmatched, especially during those bone-chilling February nights. More often than not you will find a local beer on tap, possibly brewed just a few miles from your bar stool. Central Massachusetts’ microbrewers and distilleries strive to provide our area with top-notch drink, crafted to local taste, and offer the chance to learn the brewing and distilling process-expect free samples-but not the recipe!
