Description
Established in 1994 in South Deerfield, MA, Berkshire Brewing Company is New England’s premier regional craft brewery. We keep it simple: brewing our ales and lagers fresh in small batches. We keep it real: all of our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and contain no chemical additives or preservatives. And we keep it creative: producing a broad range of year-round and seasonal ales and lagers, and frequent brewer’s specials.
We believe in staying relaxed, down-to-earth, and enjoying an abundance of great beer. There are no secrets here. We share our process, our culture, and of course, the final product – because that’s the way we believe a craft brewery should be.

Can from Bert's Tawny brown with a decent sized tan head that slowly dissipates. Creamed coffee and hints of chocolate and caramel. Sweet brown sugary flavor with bitter chocolate and a touch of alcohol warming. Tasty sipper.

Pours clear garnet into a tulip. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Nutmeg, coriander and juniper aromas. Sweet, dry and medicinal with hot juniper, bitter pith, dried bark and bitter apple front to back. Rather jaeger-like.

5 oz. draft. Flavor shows weak, tropical fruit. Reminiscent of mango or pineapple-ish. Very some weak citrus in there in the form of lemon peel. Thin texture. Average at best for me.

22oz bottle pours a cola brown with some sudsy white head. Nose has malt, cocoa, light jam, caramel. Flavor is lightly sweet with caramel and some cream soda, cocoa powder, light berry. Lacks a little bit of body on the finish, but otherwise decent.
