Barrington Brewery and Resturant, Great Barrington, MA

On the first night of our February ski vacation we went all the way across the street from our Great Barrington hotel to the Barrington Brewery and Resturant.  This brew pub is located in a mini strip mall made up of several barns and other farm-like buildings.  The have an upstairs loft with pool tables, where a sedate cat stands guard over the stockpile of brewer's grains.  The decor is very rustic and relaxed.  The atmosphere was a little noisy, but it was school vacation week, and the place was packed with kids.

I didn't start this beer blog to write negative reviews - it's not in me to criticize someone's livelihood and their labor of love.  Having said that, the beers at the BB (in GB) are not really for me.  They are a little weak and watery for me.

I thought the food and prices were quite good.  Others in my party thought it was average.  But food-wise, at least, I would go there again.
