Another great visit to Progression. I used to be all about the other brewery down the street but…read moreProgression has leap-frogged to the top preference. Nice comfortable venue with excellent beer and very friendly and helpful staff. Decent location and parking is just as brutal here as it is anywhere else in town, so if with a group maybe plan to drop them off in front and go find a space somewhere. I lean toward the IPAs but we also had a Plum Berliner which was excellent. Of course we brought a case home! Highly recommend this one!

We got there a little early and were surprised to find a nice outdoor patio area with corn hole set up. Music was pumping and the atmosphere was great. Once we boarded the bus, Shira took great care of us.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was happy to see that Northampton finally got around to having a Brew Bus at all!! There are so many little micro-breweries around here- small locally owned businesses, great beer, someone else drives- I'm in! We all met at Brew Practitioners- a new brewery in Florence in a very cool old brick building. We enjoyed a pint, gathered the troops and off we went! As we got on the bus I was pleasantly surprised to be given a little plastic cup!- Yes! Beers on board!! There was a variety of growlers to taste from as we set off on our tour. I was really impressed with the service at each brewery and as we rolled on the party got better and better! You can play your own music through blue-tooth on the bus, the bus driver was fun and engaged, and we brought a couple pizza's on board with us for absorption of the beer as we went! As you arrive at each Brewery you're bring the party with. The bartenders know your from the Brew Bus and jump right into giving you tasters and education on their beers. As I see it this is a win-win for everyone. We get to experience the local breweries, they get business and everyone loves on beer! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves beer -go by yourself, have it be a date night, or grab all your friends and load up. It's worth every penny!

The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. The menu highlights locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavors, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you're ordering seafood, steak, or one of their creative vegetarian options, the flavors are balanced and satisfying. The cocktail list is equally impressive, with well-crafted drinks that complement the menu nicely. What really sets Homestead apart is its consistency and attention to detail -- from the quality of the ingredients to the comfortable ambiance and polished service. It's the kind of place that feels special without feeling pretentious. If you're in Northampton and looking for a restaurant that blends farm-to-table quality with a welcoming atmosphere, Homestead is absolutely worth a visit.
