Welcome to the brewing history of the Brooklyn of the Berkshires!
The Berkshire Brewing Association thrived at the turn of the 20th century and distributed beer from Maine to the Carolinas. Production was halted when the Wartime Prohibition Act was passed in 1918 and legal brewing ceased for 78 years. Arrowhead Brewing started at 34 Depot Street, which was followed by Old Saddleback Brewing Company and Pittsfield Brew Works. Currently, Wandering Star Craft Brewery is continuing the small town's proud brewing history.
Suggested beer when visiting: Loopy Juice IPA.
Information for this episode comes from the Berkshire Eagle and iBerkshires.
