    Say you're poking around in Western, MA, maybe shopping at the Lee Outlets or exploring the stores in downtown Lee or Great Barrington. Here's the perfect way to make those enjoyable days even better. Why not include a stop at the Big Elm Brewery to your day? Its in nearby Sheffield, MA. Their Taproom is open with limited seating, and of course masks and social distancing are observed. Under COVID-19 state guidelines, you'll have to buy some sort of food item to drink there, but no worries - you can get hummus and carrots, an apple, or cheese and crackers for a buck or two. What I liked a lot about their beer selection is that they were not overly dependent on any single style. They went across the beer spectrum with a lager, an ale, an IPA, a DIPA, a stout, a pilsner, a NEIPA, and some hard seltzers. Truly something for everybody! I'm not a fan of the IPA family, so I sipped on an American Lager -it was light and very drinkable. My wife went for a glass of their Lavender Lemonade Hard Seltzer -I mooched a sip and liked it too. We found a table under one of the trees, marveled at their arrays of solar panels that power the brewery, drank our beverages and had a totally enjoyable time. And the packaged hummus and carrot snack was good too !

    Going home We stopped by for a very quick taste and buy. For our first time it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. Our server was awesome...great pours. Thx All the tastes were very good and true to taste. Going home to California I will miss Mass-eee beer. "Life can't get any better" That's my BF... I'm blessed

    Superb local brewery in the Bosom of the Berkshires, right off of Route 7 Their local beers are being seen in a wider radius and it will only be a matter of time before more and more folks are able to appreciate the vast and fine collection of Lager, Ale's, Session / IPA's and Stouts. Dog and family friendly, large bright open space with plenty of hi top seating. Keep watching as they branch out and thrive.

    Shiny!

    Didn't get a chance to go on the brewery tour, just in for a quick tasting. And four samples for five bucks is a hell of a deal. Sure, the samples are well... sample sized. But did I mention the fact that it was five bucks? Tastes are obviously subjective, and I was really looking forward to the blueberry sour, but it wasn't very sour. The double IPA was my favorite, while the lager and stout were fine, but nothing to write home about. Nice staff, cute little place, and I bet the tour is fun.

    Interior counter. Nice people here.

    Great beer selections. Dog friendly too. So easy to find with a sign off the road. Loads of parking.

    Some of the interior decorating!

    Great little brewery in the middle of the Berkshires! Friendly staff, plenty of choices on tap and prices that make any beer snob smile. The tasting room is decorated with nostalgic beer paraphernalia, oak barrels and a great view into where the magic happens. A worthwhile stop for anyone interested in a tasty pint.

    Delicious flight ... trust me!

    My wife and I visited Barrington on New Year's Day. The place is very rustic and we like that!…read more It's a relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the soft pretzel and cheddar ale soup for starters. The soft pretzel, made fr spent brewer's grain was really good! The cheddar ale soup was a bit disappointing. It delivered on the ale, but the soup was thin and had a kind of gritty texture. Not the creamy texture you'd expect in a cheese soup. My wife got the brisket sandwich with fries. It was odd. Normally brisket is served sliced which accentuates the tenderness, but this was pulled, like pulled pork. The flavor was okay. I had the chicken pot pie which was okay. I wouldn't order it again. We didn't like the service at all. The staff wasn't really welcoming at all. When I went to the bar to pay for a four pack of brown ale, I waited probably five minutes before anyone paid attention to me. Two servers and the bartender all basically ignored me, and the bar wasn't busy. The bartender was engaged in small talk with other patrons. The highlights were the beer and the chocolate stout cake, which we took home. The beer is excellent. I had a brown ale and a stout. The chocolate stout cake with chocolate ganache is really good! In the end, the other reviews I saw were pretty accurate. Beer - great! Food - meh. Service - not good.

Eric is the brew master and was working this day serving these fabulous beers that are worth a stop to this place. They also have another location down the road at their farm. That would be cool to visit another time. This place and the bathrooms are super clean, bright. There is plenty of seating to allow you to spread out. Each table has games so if you just want to enjoy a beer and play games you can. I played the BeerIQ game and I learned a few things about beer and now I want to buy the game for home. Beer: I had a sample of brown ale and the imperial stout. Both were incredible. It is hard to get a good brown ale and Eric nailed it! I ordered a brown ale since I was driving and the alcohol content was lower. I tasted the Imperial stout and wow delicious. One of the regulars was raving about the imperial stout and he was so right! Some days they offer food, but we came on Saturday where the kitchen was closed. Eric was kind enough to allow us to get outside food so we could continue to enjoy his brews. Everyone here is friendly. Highly recommend to come. Even if you are not near by, these brews are worth the drive.
