New City Brewery

 

This old brick industrial building is very active with progressive business like, their two fun neighbors "Abandoned building brewing" and the medical/REC cannabis store INSA. Obviously, this has become a common destination for me.
Finally got to sit down and try a couple offferings after a hot hike on Mount Holyoke and the Seven Sisters peaks. 7/13/19.
The small outdoor seating area is under a protective canopy and offers an excellent view of Mount Tom to the east. A good truck is parked outside waiting to make you paninis. Only problem is, the constant noise of the generator.
I had the double IPA and pale ale, both really hit the spot. Even on a beautiful Saturday there was no issue with seating or getting a drink. I will be back... Probably many times.

There are 2 breweries in this space - Abandoned Building, and New City, with another one (Fort Hill) a few miles up the road, so coming here is worth the trip.

This place has a nice outdoor patio, occasional live music, and a decent selection of beer, including their signature ginger beer.

Slightly newer neighbor brewery to Abandoned Building, in the same 19th century onetime factory complex. Smallish bar area with other seating at tables. Secondary focus is a stage where live entertainment occurs mainly on weekends. Originally banked on a ginger flavored beer which remains popular, now with a pretty good array of brews in other styles. Right on a rail trail and across from a park which features other live events on summer weekends, along with plenty of easy free parking makes this a good place to enjoy a brew.

 

 

 

Large brick re-purposed industrial space with a very opened floor plan. Big front tasting room with 2 story-high ceiling and L-shaped bar that seats 10-12 people. Back room opens to brewery and was set up for a private party alongside the brewhouse. Also has a nice patio area by the entrance with 8 or so tables. Eight beers on tap, enjoyed two and would have bought a few growler fills, until I was reminded of Massachusetts'- brewery can only fill their own glass law... wish they had a crowler machine. Staff was friend and informative.
