Massachusetts

Breweries visited in Massachusetts: Not too many stories related to these breweries because they are closest to where we live. John visited the Cape Cod Beer without me and is down in Hyannis near the Kennedy Compound. We go to the Cambridge Brewing Company for lunch all the time because it is very close to where i work and I haven't even bought a pint glass from there yet. Buzzards Bay Brewing was visited on our trip down to the South shore of MA to scout out locations for our wedding reception. We saw the neatest dog there called an Azores Cattle Dog, which has these roundy ears that makes it look like a very built teddy bear. Here are some good pictures of the breed. Post Road and Boston and Salem Beer works glasses were inherited from an apartment i lived in in Allston. Not much to say about the Northampton Brewery because i got sick after eating there once. In July 2008 we went camping out in western Ma and visited the Pittsfield Brew Works in Pittsfield MA. The food was really good and the service was fantastic. I tried the Gerry Dog Stout from which 25cents from each pint was donated to the Berkshire Humane Society. Gerry is the owner's dog who was adopted from the rescue. We asked one of the waitresses about the origin of the sheep logo and she told us that Pittsfield used to be the center of wool manufacturing in the 1800's. Then while the new owners were scouting out inspiration for their brewery, Pittsfield was having their Sheeptacular celebration in 2004 which was like the Cow's Parade with many sheep statues decorated by artists distributed along the main streets. It seemed a fitting logo and it stuck.
