    Barrington Brewery

    Located in Great Barrington MA, the Barrington Brewery brews up barrels of bubbly beer in the beautiful Berkshires. (try and beat that alliteration)

    We started with the sampler made up of their: Blonde, Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Stout, & Oktoberfest. All of them were lacking body and seemed to be afraid of making a statement in flavor. Their conservative taste might appeal more to the masses but I was hoping for something a little more. They were, however, all clean and quality made.

    A little investigation revealed a couple beers not on the menu. One was a dark amber and the other was an IPA. Both of these were the best beers there. (They also had a raspberry and something else we didn’t try) Still, these beers were only OK and nothing to write about. (unless you’re blogging about beer on Hop-Talk.com) 

    The restaurant touts all of their home made food and overall it was pretty good. My home made split pea and sausage soup was great and the brisket wasn’t bad considering how far we are from Texas.

    The dessert tries speaks for itself and the restaurant touts that it has been featured in magazines but as I walk out, I wonder why…

    Beer-a-Day #274Blue Point Oktoberfest

    This is one of the prettiest beer labels I’ve ever seen.

    Nice harvest gold color with two fingers of head. Nice caramel-like aroma from the malt with a bit of grassiness from the hops. Not as sweet as I expected; clean, with medium body. It’s pretty good; I’d gladly have that again.
