Northampton Brewery

11 Brewster Ct, Northampton, MA 01060
(413) 584-9903

Signature Beer:  Blue Boots IPA

Five-second Description:  Although their beer here is pretty good, this is definitely more of a restaurant than a brewery and the food is OK, but nothing to write home about.  Nice outdoor seating, especially if you are on the top deck.

Why you should go:  If you are in need of a quick bite and a good beer and in Northampton, this place serves its purpose.

Food: Full restaurant with good bar food.

Leadfoot Brewing

95 N Chicopee St, Chicopee, MA 01020

Signature Beer:  London Pub Ale

Five-second Description:  Wide beer selection for every taste, but no real good IPAs for me.  Their London Pub Ale did remind me of the beers in London’s pubs. A decorative place with cool flight holders.

Why you should go: Not a lot of other stuff around in this part of Chicopee.
