Barrington Brewery

One friend suggested that the Berkshires needed a brew pub…..another friend knew a bit about making beer at home…..the result was the start of the Barrington Brewery in 1995.  Since then the Barrington Brewery has been serving their own Barn Brewed Beer and food made from scratch with local ingredients to many satisfied customers.  It is also the first brewery on the east coast to install a solar panel system that supplies solar-heated hot water for brewing and restaurant use.  Their 30 panel solar system produces 1000 gallons of hot water daily.  Solar Brewed Beer is also available "to go" in 22oz. bottles or 64oz. growlers.

Solar Brewed Beer

Seasonal produce from Taft Farms, Equinox Farm, and Howden Farm, and apples from Windy Hill Farm along with grass fed beef and steaks from Northeast Family Farms and free range chicken from New York state are on the menu.  Sausages are made by the Alpine Pork Store in Catskill, NY and Nodine’s Smokehouse in Goshen, CT.  Barrington Brewery's beer flavors many of the made from scratch dishes, including the Cheddar Ale Soup, chilis, barbecue sauce, salad dressings and famous Chocolate Stout Cake.

The Brewery has received great reviews from The New York Times, The Boston Globe and is recommended by ZAGAT, Frommer’s travel guide, and AAA and was included in Bon Appetit’s 50th Anniversary issue in 2006 and their Best Neighborhood Restaurants issue.    

Berkshire Mountain Beer

Just stop in for a burger and you can take a peak at the fermentation cellar where special beer yeast is added to begin the fermentation process which lasts ten days.  After fermentation the beer is pushed over to the serving tanks. In these tanks the beer is carbonated and then it is ready to serve. These 220 gallon tanks are directly connected to the taps at the bar.

Gary Happ and his business partner and brewmeister Andrew Mankin enjoy converting "lite beer" drinkers to their wide selection - about twenty different syles of beer are on tap throughout the year. The choices range from Raspberry Ale and Pale Ale to Stout and “mixed drinks” including Black Velvet – Stout and Champagne.  Visit the Brewery in the historic Jennifer House Commons soon for a great meal and some of the best beers in the area.

 Next door to the Brewery is their catering venue Crissey Farm, the perfect location for banquets, weddings, rehearsal dinners and corporate events.  With views of beautiful fields, Monument Mountain to the North and the rolling hills of the Berkshires to the East,  Crissey Farm is the perfect year round destination for an event but especially so in fall and winter when the wonderful fireplace is aglow.  For more information call: Crissey Farm - 426 Stockbridge Rd, Great Barrington, MA 01230, (413) 528-4844
