Notch pours its new limited release beer for the first time, the BSA Harvest Ale! A beer brewed with all Massachusetts barley, and influenced by Belgian Farmhouse beers.

The Brewers Supporting Agriculture (BSA) program allows brewers to buy shares of their barely crops at the beginning of the season from Western Mass farmers. Notch was proud to be one of the first brewers to participate in this program, and the BSA Harvest Ale is the result of this year's barley crop.

So join us for a session of local beer, cheese pairing, and general hijinx at the Gulu Gulu as we celebrate a true harvest beer during North Shore Beer Week!
