In the spirit of community that is so central to Green River Festival, the festival has announced a partnership with Amherst Brewing and other members of the Western Massachusetts brewing community to celebrate the region’s vibrant craft brewing culture at the 2025 festival. In addition to Amherst Brewing (Amherst, MA) and their new, festival exclusive Green River IPA, this year’s concessions will feature beers from Berkshire Brewing Company (South Deerfield, MA), The Brewery at Four Star Farms (Northfield, MA), Bright Ideas Brewing (Westfield, MA), Two Weeks Notice Brewing Company (West Springfield, MA), Leadfoot Brewing (Chicopee, MA), and Ginger Libation (Greenfield, MA). All beer will be produced within 40 miles of the festival.
The breweries will also host a Local Brewers tent at the festival, giving attendees the opportunity to chat with the brewers and enjoy a sample of their beer selection.
The craft beer partnership builds on the festival’s reputation as a premier music festival with premier food options, sourcing food and beverage vendors from throughout New England that offer tasty, locally-sourced, farm-to-festival fare that meshes with the festival’s “Go Greener” vibe.
