Big Elm Brewery

Great spot. Open on Saturdays only but the beer is worth the effort. Staff is super friendly and very eager to give tours of their facility. Favorite beer was the IPA. A nice spot.

Good beer and friendly folks. I’m usually an IPA girl but their stout and Lion amber ale were my favorite. I’d definitely recommend this place as a stop or even a destination if you’re in the mood for a drive.

What a great afternoon sampling some great beer on a lovely August afternoon
Megan was incredible showing fantastic hospitality.
Thanks for the great tip on Guidos! Giant porterhouse and wonderful veggies on the grill thanks to you!
Yes, complimented by some great brew from you.

In the area for a wedding and was thrilled they had local beer to try. Had the IPA in a can… loved it. Ok, I loved it and the few that came after it. Only wish I could get it down by us.

Big Elm is now available in cans at Craft Beer Cellar in Belmont MA. Definitely worth trying if you are a fan of craft beers.

I can bike to this brewery. What more can I say. LOVE the raouchbeer, and friendly folks in the tasting room.

Loving this brewery.
First thing: when you pull up don’t be confused by the lack of signage that says this isn’t just a storage/​office building that it’s a brewery. The playground and lack of «enter» here signs threw me off.
Second: The beer, I tried about 4 is free to sample (thank you), and there are beer tours (unplanned and whenever enough people show up).
Third: The tour is short and sweet but personal. This is clearly a family process (there are play things next to the canning line, dogs roaming around), and it makes it a better experience. They use cans because they are more recyclable and because it’s cheaper and more portable (Win-​win-​win). They also are a VEGAN beer, which isn’t too hard to find, but most places don’t even mention the filtration process and as a vegan I really appreciate the heads up!
Fourth: The Beer, it’s delicious and crisp beer. There are no crazy flavors, nothing too extereme just classic and very well done beer. I went home with a 22 of American Ale (5 dollars) and a 6 pack of 413 (2 dollars a piece) and enjoyed my bounty. The American Ale is crisp and tastes like a perfect simple lager, the 413 has more flavor and very delicious. I wish that I lived closer to mass I’d be buying their beers more often.

I believe this is run by the folks who ran the former Pittsfield Brew Works.
Their new venture, Big Elm, is a production-​only brewery (no pub) in the SW Mass town of Sheffield. Bottles and a few draught lines around south county (i.e. Berkshire County) popping up since October 2012. So far, have gotten my hands on Gerry Dog Stout, Bourbon Barrel Gerry Dog Stout, and IPA — all impressive!
One of the rare MA-​produced IPAs that is truly well balanced between malt body and hop character, instead of a) mediocre or b) good but overhopped with little malt balance. Great job guys! Oatmeal stout is not as dark as some stouts, but silky, roasty, and has a unique dark fruit character to it.
Reasonably priced too! In this age of all these new breweries that want you to fork over $ 7+ for a 22oz bottle, Big Elm keeps it real at ~$ 4/​22oz for their regular lineup! Looking forward to getting out for a Saturday visit to the brewery for a growler fill!
