Oldest Operating Brewpub in New England

I was enticed to sample four pints of microbrew after reading a GoNomad travel article this morning.

The college student from Smith who wrote the article lists the Northampton Brewery as the #7 best place to dine in Northampton. I was more interested in having a craft beer in the oldest operating brewpub in New England!

The restored carriage house dates back to 1894 but the place didn’t start brewing until 1987.

It was a sunny January day but not nearly warm enough to enjoy the rooftop beer garden. That will have to wait until this summer.
