Many of these world-class breweries feature ingredients from Massachusetts, such as locally grown and malted grains, fresh hops, and indigenous yeast strains. Valley Malt, the regions first micromaltster in Hadley, works with area farmers who supply organic grains. Hops grown at Four Star Farm in Northfield and Clover Hill Farm in Hardwick are also used in many local brews.
