Beer Trail

Oktoberfest is almost here and to celebrate here in Western Mass, GSCVB has proclaimed the month: OctoBEER. On October 19^th at Table & Vine in West Springfield from 1-4pm OctoBEER will be in full swing. Come taste all your favorite Western Mass craft brews at one location and receive special offers only available at this event. Celebrate the month of beer with local Western Mass breweries that have filled their calendars with OctoBEER events.

Leaf peep and visit the Western Mass breweries by following our beer trail map. Head north or south along the Connecticut River and you are bound to pass a brewery or two! Grab an Uber or stay the night! Here is a sample of what you can expect.
