I'll be spending a few days in the Springfield & Holyoke area and would appreciate any recommendations for breweries and restaurants with good food/tap lists to check out. Also, are there any stores that carry cans of Alchemist and Lawson's in the area? Thanks!
Lawson’s is relatively easy to find. With most places having SoS, Little Sip and possibly a seasonal available. Table and Vine in West Springfield is a sure bet. For breweries, Springfield has White Lion, which is a lively scene with great sours and solid IPAs. West Springfield has Two Weeks Notice, Westfield has Great Awakening (excellent) , Skyline (great selection), Kismet and Tin Bridge. Easthampton has Fort Hill (also pick up FH Fresh Pick at T & V for around $9 a six pack) and Abandoned Building. Holyoke has Holyoke Craft Beer and Chicopee has Leadfoot.
