Visited after a stop at INSA next door. I had a Belgian Quad 12 oz. Pour.
As you can imagine, this small pub sized brewery is located in a massive and old industrial style brick building. It certainly has its charms. And comfy sitting area with mostly up-cycled style furniture and tables. 6 taps, with some pretty standard style, leaning in the Belgian style way. Pretty standard Americanized versions of classic Belgian styles with a classicly mundane yeast profile. It's really hard to excell when it comes to creating high grade Belgian styles. Its all about the power of the yeast and few American brewers can even come close.
Love the locally sourced barley malt and hops.
Overall, certainly worth checking out, especially if your in the Northhampton area.
3/30/19.
Second time around, we had two delicious NE style IPA's. High quality. Nice service, super relaxed atmosphere.

VERY cool place - deceptive because you walk into what literally looks like an abandoned factory, and there's a kind of sketchy steel door in front of you... but you open that, and walk into one of the coolest taprooms I've been in recently. Well lit, cool atmosphere, friendly staff...

I had heard of this place from a few friends, and they had done a collaboration with Amherst Brewery which has a place in my hometown, so when i was in the area, I knew i had to check it out. Was worth the visit

Only drawback is that it is not really visible from the main road, because it's actually in the back of the building, with other shops and companies in the front. We couldn't find it, so we called them, and they were happy to guide us in.

Excellent IPAs, and good selection of other stuff.

C.six-year-old brewery in a large high-ceilinged room accessible from the back of a former 19th century manufactory. Brewing equipment visible from the public area. The latter includes a counter for draft pours and a comfortable lounge area with board games to play and live entertainment some Thursdays-Saturdays. Exceptional quality brews emphasize IPAs, pale ale and saisons. plenty of parking near the entrance, right on a rail trail, a fun laid-back stop.

I went across the different Easthampton breweries for my birthday including Abandoned Building. The facility is in a very interesting location inside an old mill building down a dirt road. The atmosphere was quite chill, with plenty of tables, seats, and other places to socialize and drink some of the brews of this place. The brewery itself was in the back area so you can socialize while seeing where all the action takes place. In addition, the mill environment gives the atmosphere an interesting vibe. Service was very friendly and informative with the type of beers that are available at the facility as well. Overall, this is great place to try and purchase Abandoned Building while socializing.

Cool vibe in a revitalized old brick factory. A little hard to find, but worth it (in what seems like back of the building). Inside everything is comfortable and inviting. Staff at tasting bar was great and knowledgeable. Visible brewers doing their jobs adds to the effect. The beer is high quality and covered a range of styles. Their IPA has a hop profile quite different from other NE options and the Odin Quad was quite tasty and easy to drink, even at 9.4% ABV. Right off a bike path.

Don't let the Abandoned in Abandoned Building scare you away from this place! The tasting room is, indeed, in what looks like(but isn't) an abandoned mill building. Just think of it as adding to the adventure of the hunt. Flights, 12 oz, 16 oz and regular growlers are available. They also have the most adorable "baby" 32 oz growlers for sale. The vibe is chill - with varnished cable reels for tables to hang out around, this place is laid back and friendly. It's also conveniently accessible from the Manhan bike path, if you want to enjoy a few.

A little hard to find, located in the back of a huge mill building. Once inside its a nice space with nice people.
