Who owns BERKSHIRE BREWING?
BERKSHIRE BREWING is independently owned!
First Brewed

Origin
Massachusetts, United States
Berkshire Brewing Company was founded in 1994 in South Deerfield, Massachusetts by Gary Bogoff and Chris Lalli, along with several silent stockholders. Prior to starting the brewery, Bogoff was a cabinet maker and general contractor who homebrewed as a hobby. He has said that a goal of the brewery was to win over lager drinkers from brands like Budweiser and Miller.
Berkshire started off small in a former cigar factory, with the team hand bottling their 7 barrel batches. By 2017, it was brewing nearly 20,000 barrels a year. Lalli left the business a few years after it started, making Bogoff the main owner. The brewery is known for their Shabadoo beer, which was created in honor of a friend of Bogoff’s who was killed in a tragic accident. Proceeds from the beer benefit the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
