Spring is coming fast and Ale Aboard Brewery Tours is filling up fast.
Ale Aboard Brewery Tours is the Brain Child of Northampton's newest Brewery, Brew Practitioners Brewery and Taproom. Owners Joe and Tanzi have studied the art of craft beer for over a decade and came up with the idea of Ale Aboard Brewery Tours in an effort to continue to bring beer lovers into Western Massachusetts' new, vibrant beer destination. With six breweries within a "Pint" of each other, the Northampton / Easthampton region is a popular destination point for any beer lover, advocate or novice.
Our Tours.......
Our Thursday, Friday or Saturday Tours meet at Florence's newest brewery Brew
Practitioners . Feel free to enjoy a pint of our great beer while we
assemble the troops and then we load up on our 14 passenger bus for 3
hours of fun.
Our First Stop is a 15 minute bus ride to the impressive Fort Hill Brewery set in the beautiful countryside of Easthampton. This will be the biggest brewery on the tour. Stainless steel abounds in this facility and if we are lucky enough, the Brewer may be able to fit in a tour. Also look out for live music and fun to be had by all!
Next, with a quick 5 minute bus ride we will visit the Historic Mill 180 building in Easthampton where we will see New City Brewery . Be prepared to be blown away by the old world charm of their restored space. Brick abounds and you can only imagine what the huge crane overhead was used for over 100 years ago.
Just a few hundred yards through the parking lot we will travel to the historic Brickyard Building and Abandoned Building Brewery where you will enjoy a pint just as our forefathers did. In an industrial setting surrounded by brownstones and plank wood floors.
Finally, we head back to Brew Practitioners Located in the historic Sewing Building in Florence. Come in and sample a beer produced by the smallest brewery on the tour. Enjoy the outside courtyard in the summer and see our high tech, 3BBL brewing system.
