What makes us different?
We're a family-owned craft brewery dedicated to brewing quality beer and creating welcoming taprooms where great beer, good company, and community come together. With two locations—Wilbraham and Ware—there's something for everyone. Our Ware taproom also features TruGolf multi-sport simulators, offering golf and other interactive games year-round, along with indoor golf leagues during the winter months to help golfers keep their swing sharp and beat the winter blues.

Wilbraham: We serve warm Bavarian pretzels, and you're welcome to bring your own food.
Kitchen hours and menu offerings may vary, so be sure to check our social media for the latest updates.
Can I bring outside drinks or water bottles?
No. Outside beverages, including alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic drinks, and personal water bottles, are not permitted in either taproom. Complimentary water is available from our water station, with cups provided. We also offer non-alcoholic beer, soda, and other non-alcoholic options for purchase. Thank you for helping us follow our licensing and food-service policies.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes! We offer several options for guests who avoid gluten.
Our beers are wheat-free and brewed using a gluten-reducing process. Because they are brewed with gluten-containing grains, they are not FDA-certified gluten-free, so we describe them as gluten-reduced.
Our hard seltzers are gluten-free.
Our hard cider is gluten-free.
Many guests who are gluten-sensitive have shared positive experiences with our gluten-reduced beers. However, every person's tolerance is different.
If you have celiac disease or another medical condition requiring a strict gluten-free diet, we recommend choosing the option that's right for you and consulting your healthcare provider if you have questions.
Do you have non-alcoholic options?
Yes! We offer non-alcoholic beverages, including a rotating non-alcoholic beer, soda, water, and other seasonal options.
Can I host a party or private event?
Yes! We welcome birthdays, showers, retirement parties, business gatherings, and other celebrations. Event options vary by location and group size, so please contact us to discuss your event and we'll help you find the best fit.
Do you have gift cards?
Yes! Fieldcrest Brewing gift cards are available for purchase at both of our taproom locations and make a great gift for any beer lover. They can be used for drinks, food, and merchandise.
Are children allowed?
Yes! Families are welcome at Fieldcrest Brewing. We ask that children remain with a parent or guardian at all times.
Please remember that we are a working brewery, and for everyone's safety, children must stay away from brewing equipment and other staff-only areas.
At our Ware location, children may not use the golf simulators without adult supervision and must be accompanied by an adult while in the simulator bays.
We appreciate your help in keeping Fieldcrest a safe and enjoyable place for all of our guests.
Are fur children (animals) allowed?
No. Pet dogs are not permitted inside Fieldcrest Brewing's taprooms.
Fieldcrest Brewing operates under a number of state and local licenses and permits, each with its own rules and regulations. One of those licenses is a Massachusetts Food Establishment License.
As a licensed food establishment, we are required to comply with the Massachusetts Food Code and local Board of Health regulations. Because of these requirements, pet dogs and other non-service animals are not allowed inside our taprooms.
Service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are always welcome.
At our Wilbraham location, well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome on our outdoor deck, where permitted by applicable regulations. Dogs are not permitted inside the building.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we comply with the regulations that allow us to operate and serve our customers.
Are children allowed to use the Golf/Sports simulator?
At Fieldcrest Brewing, we welcome families and want guests of all ages to enjoy our golf simulators together. To help ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for everyone and to protect our simulator equipment, we ask that all guests follow these policies:
Children must be at least 5 years old to use the simulators.
Children ages 5–13 must share the same simulator bay with a supervising parent or guardian who is also playing.
Guests ages 14–17 may play while a parent or guardian is present and watching from inside the same simulator bay.
No unaccompanied minors are permitted.
Children may not operate or touch the simulator touchscreen.
The supervising adult is responsible for the minors in their party, including their conduct and any damage to the simulator equipment or brewery property.
Fieldcrest Brewing staff reserve the right to end simulator play without a refund if these policies are not followed.
