We’ll start by heading to the Berkshires where the beer you drink or get for the folx in your life who like beer is helping keep our neighbors warm through these colder months. Hot Plate Brewing is hosting an event this weekend in support of their Hearth and Home Campaign. We head to Pittsfield to talk with Co-owner Mike Dell’Aquila about how a pint can help keep the heat up. 

Then we’re off to Greenfield to explore the bounty of local beers, wines, and ciders on offer at Ryan & Casey Liquors, where they’ve been uplifting and highlighting local producers for decades. Kristie Faufaw and Isaac Sissam help us explore the expansive world of beverages produced in the 4 counties, and a little beyond. 

And if snow is your thing, but the holidays maybe aren't, have we got a concert that’s right up your alley. Erin McKeown is performing an anti-holiday show at the Iron Horse tomorrow, the name of which we cannot say on air, and they’ll join us for live music friday to explore a little bit of the seasonal not-cheer, you can enjoy tomorrow night, swears and all.
