WELCOME TO THE PIONEER VALLEY BREWS CRUISE!

a person drinking a glass of beer on a table Have you heard about the booming craft alcohol scene in the Connecticut River Valley?

It’s absolutely buzzing with breweries, wineries, and distilleries that are scattered throughout the area.

And the best part? Pioneer Valley Brews Cruise is now here to bring you behind-the-scenes of these local companies so you can meet the people, learn the process, and taste their delicious craft alcohol products!

My name is Scott Beaulieu, and I’ve spent over 30 years teaching history lessons to middle schoolers. I absolutely love sharing knowledge and introducing people to new things. Before teaching, I dabbled in the restaurant business as a bartender and manager in various dining atmospheres. I’ve also been heavily involved in local education organizations and have a knack for creating engaging experiences for adults.

I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about craft alcohol production processes. I’ve visited countless breweries, distilleries, and wineries across New England and beyond, attended numerous tastings and classes, and soaked up as much knowledge as possible.
